Assemblage: A Regional Collective of Women Artists, through September 3rd

Assemblage is a group of 17 women artists from the greater Philadelphia area. While the artists exhibit individually throughout the region, they work toward exhibiting collectively once a year. The artists work in various media and include the figure, animals, architecture, nature, and both realistic and abstract forms in their designs. Painting, printmaking, and drawing with bright colors and monochrome tones, three-dimensional pieces, and found objects contribute to the diversity of each artist’s styles.

Bruce in the USA: The World’s #1 Tribute to Bruce Springsteen, September 8th

Bruce In The USA is much more than just another tribute …
This high-energy musical experience is a note-perfect and visually accurate recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E St. Band show. Matt Ryan began playing the Springsteen character in 2000 in the “Legends In Concert” Las Vegas show. The band consists of seasoned professional musicians — from acts or bands such as Queen, Meatloaf, Hall and Oates, The Temptations and Slash — which has taken this genre of performances to a whole new level. The Freeman Stage at Bayside, Selbyville.
