Good friend John Blenn and his comedy team “Middle Class American Productions” will be providing plenty of laughs with their new show “American Dating Catastrophes VIII”. The fun-filled night will take place this weekend at the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College. Blenn is an extraordinarily talented writer, and the previous shows were huge successes, so BE SURE NOT TO MISS this one…tickets are still available, but may not be for long. -Regards, SB

Today, Wednesday, July 7, 2010, is Ringo Starr’s 70th Birthday. For his birthday, Ringo asks that everyone — no matter where they are — flash the peace sign, and call out “peace and love”. You can read more about Ringo Starr’s birthday wish at the Liverpool Daily Post.

The DHPAC/Dix Hills Performing Arts Center community loves the Beatles. See a video of a recent Beatles show above. The end credits include local band Mostly Moptop performing Octopus’s Garden. We present many Beatles programs. Next one I see on the calendar is coming up in October. Though, check it out for yourself: here. And, note that a lot of people at DHPAC/Five Towns College slip Beatles songs into their repertoire.

This Friday night’s concert [July 9, 2010] is sure to be an enjoyable one. We’re very fortunate to have “Bad Medicine” here to pay tribute to the music of Bon Jovi. They do a very impressive job, and you’ll be glad you attended. I hope to see you there.

Besides being all relaxing and festive, 4th of July weekend reminds me how fun it is to spend a summer evening being entertained in air-conditioned splendor. Why not use a few spare moments this holiday weekend to review the July schedule at DHPAC and sign up for a show or two at our wonderful, cozy (500 seats), air-conditioned theater? The smorgasbord of choices include: rock ‘n roll, comedy theatre, stand-up comedy, and a piano recital. How cool is that?
