Since its establishment in 1973, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens has formed the largest scientifically documented collection of living orchids in the world. The Orchid Show highlights spectacular orchids from the living collection for which it is known across the globe.

The Orchid Show consists of a horticultural display in the Tropical Conservatory and an exhibition in the Museum of Botany & the Arts. The horticultural display is abounded with orchids of various shapes, colors, and patterns, illustrating the beauty and diversity of one of the largest families of flowering plants.

Experience the gripping intensity of Misery, the thrilling stage play adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel. Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “Number One Fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript to his newest novel and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new “Misery” novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere.
