LifeSouth invites the community to stop by, save lives and be a part of a one-of-a-kind event when University of Florida Performing Arts (UFPA) does a performance of The Maltese Falcon on Saturday, March 19 as part of their Driveway Theatre Project. This 1930s tale of intrigue will be performed as a live radio play at LifeSouth’s Gainesville donor center located at 4039 Newberry Road from noon until 1 p.m. Food and beverages will be served.  
Through the new Driveway Theatre Project, UFPA teams up with members of the Gainesville community to bring together friends and neighbors around a performance in driveways, backyards, community centers and businesses. The host provides the space and invites the people and UFPA’s talented actors, dancers and musicians provide the magic of performance.
