The Freeman Stage, Bayside, Selbyville, Delaware, Live Performances, Dance, Theatre, Children’s Shows, LeAnn Rimes, Saturday, 6/25

I was out and about today with no direction in mind when I decided to visit The Freeman Stage in Selbyville.  This outdoor art venue is located at 31750 Lakeview Drive, Selbyville, DE.   If you are at the Delaware or Maryland Beaches the best way to get there is to travel on Ocean Highway to Fenwick Island.  At the intersection of Rt. 54 then go west for about 4 miles.  When you see Harris Teeter turn towards it. It is also the entrance to Bayside, a golf community on the water, and where The Freeman Stage is located.

Upon entering the Bayside community then proceed straight on Americana Parkway.  The outdoor theatre is on Town Lake at the intersection of Americana Parkway and Lakeview Drive.

Last year I had mentioned a few of the live entertainment that were on the schedule.  After seeing how pretty it was today, I am definitely attending some of them.  It must be gorgeous on a balmy summer night.

It is an outdoor setting; not a big stage.  You can bring your lawn chairs, bug spray and blankets but leave behind your pets (unless service dogs are assisting patrons with disabilities) and your alcohol.  If you wish to purchase alcoholic beverages, then do so at the Freeman Stage Cafe.  No smoking, as well, and no recording equipment and cameras during the performances unless by authorized press and personnel.

The summer event calendar is out and you can take a look at it by visiting www.freemanstage.org.  If you decide you want to attend a performance, you can buy tickets through the website.  You may also purchase general admission tickets for $10 per person, per performance when the gates open at 5 p.m.   The website has all that info. and more.

If you need to call them, please do so at 302-436-3015.  You can find them on Facebook.

One thing to remember is that since this is an outdoor venue, it is subject to the weather.  You can visit their website for cancellations or call the above mentioned telephone number.

This will be their 4th season and the opening act will be on May 28th with a Memorial Day celebration featuring Zany Umbrella Circus.  It will be for the whole family.  Patriotic celebrations will highlight the day; circus illusions and acrobatics.  It will be on that Saturday of the Memorial week-end starting at 12 p.m. until 3 p.m.  It will be FREE!!

If you are a fan of LeAnnRimes, then she will be appearing on Saturday, 6/25 at 8:00 p.m.  Tickets are $40 plus.  The Freeman Stage is inviting all of us to spend an intimate evening under the stars with one of the biggest country stars.

You will be impressed with their schedule; a little bit for everyone to enjoy.

Have a great day…I am still digesting my Easter meal; I feel sluggish.
