Even though I am in Delray Beach this week, when I left Rehoboth Beach I could tell that Spring was around the corner; my daffodils were growing like crazy and the pear trees had buds on their branches. Seemed like the birds were chirping up a storm, as well. Those little signs that make you feel so good. And if you get a crisp sunny day, then smile because it does not get better than that.
I woke up in Delray Beach to, again, a chilly morning. Hopefully, it will be warmer tomorrow.
But, if you are at the Delaware Beaches, then this is what you have to look forward to.
Clear Space Theatre is located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach. On their schedule you will find.
Backstage Lecture Series – Monday, March 21st at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $10 and include the seminar, coffee and bagels. It is a monthly installment of theatre-related discussions. On Monday, March 21st the discussion will be “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” by Lloyd King, a local English and humanities scholar and instructor.
One of the most, if not the most, prolific playwrights in history, William Shakespeare penned 37 plays and 154 sonnets in his lifetime. His work has been the inspiration for countless other works, from musicals to movies to contemporary interpretations of his stories. “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” will begin with a brief biography of the playwright, leading up to 1599, a pivotal year in his incredible life. In 1599, he wrote 4 immortal plays, “Henry V”, “As You Like It”, “Julius Caesar”, and “Hamlet”, taking audiences to new intellectual heights.
Mr. King received his Master’s Degree in English from the University of Tennessee, and has also studied at the University of North Carolina, American University, and Pace College. He taught English for nearly 40 years in Delaware, and operated a touring Shakespeare company at Glasgow High School.
He hopes his participation in this Backstage Lecture will help ease local audiences into being active and eager observers of Shakespeare’s work.

Clear Space is celebrating the centennial of the original novel, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, with this musical adaptation. The story revolves around young Mary Lennox, who is sent to live with family she has never met after being orphaned. As she and the servants bring new life to the mansion’s neglected garden, Mary also renews the spirits of her grieving uncle and sickly cousin.

The Independent Film Festival had a great turn out. Actually, it was a record setting one with about 18,434 tickets sold. Next year’s festival will be taking place from November 9th until November 13.
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society has on going events throughout the year. Their mission is to promote the art of film, to entertain and educate.
As part of their series Around the World, which are presented in partnership with the Lewes Library and Movies at Midway, on Wednesday, December 1st, at 7:00 p.m. Only When I Dance will be featured at the upstairs screening room, at Movies at Midway.
It is FREE. This documentary follows two teenagers, Irian and Isabela, as they strive to realize an extraordinary dream. One girl, one boy; both black and poor, living in one of the most violent favelas on the outskirts of Rio, Irlan and Isabela want to dance ballet, and their ambition is to leave Brazil to join one of the great companies in North America.
For them, dance is the way out, an escape from their challenging lives in Rio. Being on stage brings them to a state of ecstasy that is rarely found in their day to day lives.
The question is: can they make it? Only When I Dance is about chasing a dream to dance the most perfect dance against all the odds of race and of circumstance. And, of course, the price you must pay for talent, ambition and success.
It runs 78 minutes, not rated and it is in Portuguese with English subtitles.
