Having lived at the Delaware Beaches for so many years, visiting the local museums, where you can unlock the past so that you can see where we are going, is a must if you are visiting or living, here at the beach.  I know, I know, the beach, restaurants, and shops are probably what you are coming to the beach for…these museums will not take a long time.  You never know, you might be retiring to the Delaware Beaches; low property taxes and tax free shopping!!!

The Rehoboth Beach Historical Society’s mission is “to preserve and showcase artifacts that illustrate the development of our beautiful city by the sea”.

coastartillerycorps

Until March 17h, the exhibit currently on display is “WWII:  Rehoboth Beach” – In Rehoboth there were Coast Guardsmen on horseback, a Civil Air Patrol airfield…the Civil Air Patrol pilots kept our waters safe from the enemy.  There were also blackouts and stage door canteens.  You can view at the Museum the artifacts that help tell the story of a beach town during the war.  A 1940’s kitchen, listen to the music of the Mills Brothers and the Tommy Dorsey Band.  Children visiting the Museum can learn how to send a Morse Code.  And you can grab a recipe for creamed chipped beef on toast!!

Thursday, February 14th – Valentine’s Day Stage Door Canteen, a Valentine’s Day Musical Revue.  The response has been overwhelming, so, instead of holding it at the Rehoboth Museum, it has been moved to Clear Space Theatre located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in downtown Rehoboth Beach,   It will start at 7:00 p.m.  Tickets are $14 (cash or check only for that night) in honor of the holiday and light refreshments will be served.  A cash bar will be available, as well.  Please call 302-227-7310 to reserve your seat.

This performance concurs with the WWII exhibit on display at the Rehoboth Museum.  Clear Space, http://www.clearspacetheatre.org, will take the audience on a sentimental journey to another era with a presentation of popular wartime songs; Chattanooga Choo-Choo, You’ll Never Know, and I’ll Be Seeing You.

Stage Canteens were special clubs and the guests were the steady stream of GIs headed off to war.  Many were leaving home for the first time and the Canteens offered a welcome opportunity to forget their anxieties, if only for a time, with entertainment, fellowship and a little American spirit.

Top_Secret_Rosies

Friday, March 8th – Documentary, “Top Secret Rosies”, in honor of Women’s History Month in March, at the Rehoboth Beach Museum located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue, by the roundabout.  The documentary will start at 7:00 p.m. in the museum’s Cooper Gallery.  Please note that reservations are required for this event, since the space is limited.  All you have to do is call 302-227-7310 and make the reservation.  Light refreshments will be served.  Free for members of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and $5 donation from non-members.

The film was produced and directed by Leann Erickson.  The film explores, with four of the “Top Secret Rosies” the importance of their role in the Allied successes.  The 4 vastly different women share what it was like as a human computer and how they sometimes worked night, day and night again.  It was up to these women to make sure those in the air and on the battle grounds received the accurate calculations needed to achieve success in hitting their targets.

Have a great day!!  Talk to you later.

What’s Going On? Clear Space Theatre Company, Rehoboth Beach, Children Classes, Adult Classes, Arts & Entertainment, Year-Round Theater at the Delaware Beaches, Shirley Valentine, 100th Production, September 21st until October 7th

Print

“The term “clear space” refers to a focus on the process, knowledge, and humanity of arts performance: the idea that we find ourselves in what appears on the stage.”   clear space theatre company

The Clear Space Theatre Company launches its 100th production on September 21st through October 7th, with the comedy Shirley Valentine, starring Equity actress Elaine Faye.  This one-woman tour de force is an intimate moving and hysterical look at the life of a British housewife who discovers that her humdrum existence isn’t quite as dead as she thought.

She spends her days talking to the kitchen walls and preparing dinner for her grumbling husband.  When an opportunity to travel to Greece arises, she hesitantly seizes the moment….

On Sunday, 9/23, stay for a chat with cast crew and creative team.

Over the eight seasons of bringing live theatre to the beach, Clear Space has produced a diverse collection of musicals, dramas and comedies, including Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, Fiddler on The Roof, and The Crucible.

This past season, Clear Space presented Blithe Spirit, My Fair Lady, Annie, Little Shop of Horrors, and Cabaret, as well as toe-tapping musical revues to its new location at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.  A total of 8  theater performances per year.

Clear Space also begins its 8th season with expanded Arts Institute classes for children grades 1 – 12, as well as classes for adults including the popular Legends class for the 50+ set.  Their 5 Musical Theatre Summer Intensive programs for children in grades 1 -12 broke enrollment records.

And, their thrift store, Encore, located next to Arby’s on Route 1, (Coastal Highway), is having a banner year with wonderful array of donated merchandise at the right price.

What lies ahead for calendar year 2013 is an impressive line-up of shows that includes The Mousetrap, 9 to 5: the musical, La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music….all these are must see productions!

The company is under the leadership of a committed Board of Directors, chaired by Kay Ryan, and Dough Yetter, Artistic Director, well known in the community for his musical and acting talent.  Clear Space is grateful for the continued loyalty of the public and for their strong base of volunteers.

For a complete listing of shows and classes, please visit http://www.clearspacetheatre.org.  You may also call the Box Office at 302-227-2270, or visit the theatre at 20 Baltimore Ave., in Rehoboth Beach.

Performing arts exist for the community and only survives with their support.

Have a great day!!

Update, Parking Ticket, Rehoboth Art League’s 38th Annual Outdoor Fine Art & Craft Show, Town of Henlopen Acres, Delaware Beaches

 

This a post that is to the point; short and sweet.  I mentioned that as I was enjoying the art and craft show at the League in Henlopen Acres, my car was being ticketed.  Upset, indeed I was.

I visited this morning with the League’s Executive Director, Sheila Bravo.  We definitely had a nice conversation.  The parking in Henlopen Acres is definitely a problem when an event such as this one is being held.  Ms. Bravo did not know that people were parking on that road, therefore, nobody was there to tell visitors not to park on the street.

The sign?  It was put afterwards by a neighbor that was feeling sorry for people getting tickets.  Mind you that there were a lot of tickets given on that day.

The Rehoboth Art League is meeting today with the appropriate personnel in order for this not to happen again. 

The Town of Henlopen was very gracious and professional and no since no signs were posted on that street before I parked, my ticket was voided.

So, thanks to both of you!! 

Have a great day!!  Talk to you later…

Friday and Saturday – The Freeman Stage at Bayside combines Arts and Jazz.

It will open at 4 p.m. on Friday and at Noon on Saturday.  If you are visiting the beaches, grab the chair that you used at the beach, pack the family and kick back and relax.
