Charlotte’s Web, April 17th – 19th

The Everett Theatre’s production of Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman — she will create a “miracle.” Spinning the words “Some Pig” in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution which not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. The Everett Theatre.

Heart by Heart, April 17th

Heart By Heart was formed by original founding member of HEART Steve Fossen quickly after he began performing with vocalist Somar Macek as a duo at parties and at small venues. Macek would sing HEART songs, tunes that Fossen had not let himself visit musically in years, and immediately felt transported back in time to a familiar place that he had forgotten and had missed so dearly. Fossen relearned his bass parts and the duo began performing the songs publicly. Harrington Raceway & Casino.

 

Delaware Choral Society presents: Carmina Burana, April 19th

For the first time in Dover, Carl Orff’s cantata, Carmina Burana, under the direction of Dr. James Wilson. Composed in 1936, Orff’s vibrant work has become a standard in the classical music repertoire and breathes energetic life into the medieval goliardic poetry upon which it is based. Our concert also features the premiere of an original composition by the winner of the 2015 ACDA collegiate choral composers competition. Schwartz Center for the Arts.
