For the final production of its 25th anniversary season, the company is telling the story of a retired African-American tap dancer whose dance studio is threatened by development, and the community that rallies behind him.

    A century ago, Florida was the nation's top cattle producer. In 2022, The Great Florida Cattle Drive honored the state's vanishing industry. The reenactment was the fourth time in almost 30 years that the Florida Cow Culture Preservation Committee staged the event to remind people of the state's history. WUSF's Cathy Carter recently spoke with a drive participant, journalist Isaac Eger. He's out with a new book about the 80-mile journey through what's left of Florida's ranchlands.
