"Art microscopist" T. H. Saunders showcases sixty images of his craft -- pictures captured with high def photography and precision optics microscopes. Dazzling images of mundane objects -- Tylenol doped with coffee, tea, wine, beer and more -- are no larger than the tip of a needle and are recorded using cross-polarization lighting techniques. It sounds technical, but there's nothing confusing about the colorful, whimsical patterns that Saunders creates with his combination of art and science. On display through Jan. 3.

Hot on the heels of her appearance in Jobsite Theater’s And Baby Makes Seven, recent Tampa Bay area transplant Jessica Rothert slips into Stageworks’ production of Bad Dates at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Theresa Rebeck’s one-woman show, which premiered Off Broadway in 2003, is about Haley Walker, a Texas transplant living in Manhattan with her teenage daughter. And lots of shoes. Six hundred, in fact. Having found a measure of success in the big city as a restaurateur, single Haley is ready to dip her feet and their fashionable footwear back into the dating pool. From her bedroom, Haley addresses the audience as she prepares for or reacts to her titular encounters with the opposite sex. Rebeck weaves in her heroine’s encounters with Romanian gangsters and Tibetan Buddhists while Haley reveals her wit, frailties and layers of complexity during a succession of humorous monologues. Can Rothert pull off her tall order? As they say, "If the shoe fits…" Visit stageworkstheatre.org for more info.

DFAC's curators did the art-inclined among us a favor and collected an outstanding representation works by local and national artists -- all of which could end up under your tree for Christmas. Normally when you're at a museum, the velvet rope (and, hopefully, tact) prevent us from coming too close to the artwork. Not anymore. If you see something you like, take your favorite mini-masterpiece off the wall and up to the cashier. The same goes for the assortment of unique and interesting ornaments that adorn DFAC's dozen decorated trees, along with an array of hard-to-find gifties for everyone from Mom to Uncle Albert and the mailman. Last-minute shoppers can breathe a sigh of relief; the exhibit continues through Dec. 23.

The new-opened St. Pete gallery with an eye for ceramics offers this collection of works by Josh DeWeese, McKenzie Smith, Brian Sarama and Bede Clarke, who returned to the roots of clay for inspiration. Before it was about art, clay and ceramic served a more practical purpose: it was used to create vessels to carry water, to hold fruit, or to serve as everyday tableware. This exhibit explores the idea that form need not be lost in a functional piece; Our day to day items can still be a source of beauty and inspiration. On display through Dec. 31.
