A Christmas Carolīased on the story by Charles Dickens, Venice Theatre’s musical version of A Christmas Carol returns with the joyous spirit of the year-end holidays. With music by Andrew Lippa, lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, this show is based on the comic strip The Addams Family by Charles Addams. See the lovable characters you know well: Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch. Plus: an appearance by an out-of-this-world guy who hit the longest golf shot in history. Lewis offers a sardonically humorous look at grumpy old men in a grumpy old round of golf with their questions, fears, loves and Metamucil. 41 Business, Hatchett Creek Bridge and Circus Bridge completedĢ005 - First of five beach renourishments completedĢ014 - Venice Performing Arts Center opened on the campus of Venice High SchoolĢ019 - Downtown Venice Beautification Project completed, reconstructing 14 blocks downtownĢ019 - Venice Fishing Pier refurbished deck and railing material replaced with longer-lasting ipe wood and pole lighting fixtures with sea turtle-friendly, under-handrail lightsĢ019 - Julia Cousins Laning and Dale Laning Archives & Research Center openedĢ020 - New Venice Police Department opened on Public Safety Facility campus on East Venice Ave.Ģ021 - New Public Works facility opened in the old police department building on Ridgewood Ave.In the Raymond Center Golf With Alan Shepard 41 Bypass) openedġ966 - Venice fishing pier opens with a 25 cent entrance feeġ967 - Dedication of completed West Coast Intracoastal Waterwayġ970 - Kentucky Military Institute closed Venice operationsġ971 - Seaboard Coastline Railroad ceased passenger train service to Veniceġ971 - Gulf Theatre and Hotel Villa Nokomis demolishedġ991 - Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus final performance at Venice winter headquartersġ996 - Venice Archives and Area Historical Collection relocated to restored historic Triangle InnĢ000 - Venetian Waterway extended to Gulf of MexicoĢ001 - 9/11 terrorists trained at local flight schoolĢ003 - Restoration of historic Venice Train depot completedĢ004 - Three-year state widening of U.S. Albeeġ925 - Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers purchased land from the Albeesġ926 - Governor John Martin appointed Venice's first mayor and councilġ926 - John Nolen revised Venice city plan for Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineersġ927 - Town of Venice renamed City of Venice by Florida Legislatureġ927 - Venice Train Depot completed first airport constructedġ928 - Tamiami Trail opened from Tampa to Miamiġ930 - Venice-Nokomis High School's first graduating class had eight studentsġ930 - Fire destroyed Woodmere Sawmill and property was abandonedġ932 - Kentucky Military Institute moved its winter headquarters to Veniceġ933 - Florida Medical Center opened in converted Park View Hotelġ937 - Venice Jetties constructed and channel between them dredgedġ941 - War Department accepted Finn Caspersen’s offer of 3,000 acres for use as an Army campġ942 - Venice Army Air Base began operationsġ946 - First issue of the Venice Gondolier newspaper was printedġ947 - City of Venice takes over operation of airfields at former Venice Army Air Baseġ950 - Venice Little Theatre performed first playġ952 - Venice Hospital dedicated (closed 2022)ġ955 - Venice-Nokomis Presbyterian Drive-In Church featured in Life magazineġ960 - Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus relocated winter headquarters to Veniceġ966 - Venice Bypass (U.S. Fred and Louella Albee purchased land from Palmer family’s Sarasota-Venice Companyġ921 - Sarasota County created from southern portion of Manatee Countyġ921 - Manasota renamed Woodmere by the Nocatee-Manatee Freight Companyġ925 - John Nolen designed Venice city plan for Dr. Jesse Knight deeded property for the first church, Knight’s Chapel (Methodist Episcopal)ġ910 - Bertha Honoré Palmer acquired 140,000 acres (including most of current Venice) in what was then known as South Manatee Countyġ911 - Seaboard Airline Railway extended to current Veniceġ912 - Waterway was dredged from Venice to Sarasotaġ915 - Sarasota-Venice Company had a plat surveyed and filed for the town of Venice.ġ915 - Voters passed a bond issue to construct a permanent road from Sarasota to Veniceġ917 - Dr. Blackburn settled in the area now called Nokomisġ888 - Venice Post Office established in area now known as Nokomisġ896 - First permanent school erected near the Jesse Knight Memorial Cemeteryġ903 - Laurel Post Office began operations (closed 1909)ġ903 - Rev.
