The second will be \u201cMasterworks 2\u2019 on March 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Exhibition Hall at Longwood Gardens (Route 1, Kennett Square).<\/p>\n<p>At the \u201cReimagined Symphony\u201d concert, seating around the orchestra will provide the audience with a unique perspective. Food and drink will be available throughout this one-hour long performance in a relaxed atmosphere. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes it fun,\u201d said Kennett Symphony Music Director Michael Hall during a phone interview Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole idea of a concert series is to make it fun. This will be very relaxed \u2013 sit, have a drink and enjoy some food. It will be general admission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The program for Saturday\u2019s matinee will feature Giovanni Pergolesi\u2019s \u201cSinfonia from Olimpiade\u201d and Igor Stravinsky\u2019s \u201cPulcinella Suite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll focus on \u2018Pulcinella,\u2019\u201d said Hall. \u201cI talk about how the piece is great and what to listen for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a suite with short pieces that were originally were written for ballet. There are nine pieces \u2013 very graceful, quiet and pretty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was composed in 1920 in a time when Stravinsky was looking back. It\u2019s based on a piece from the 1700s. It\u2019s music of the past with a 20th-century feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Sinfonia from Olimpiade\u2019 is a collection of pieces by Pergolesi. The purpose is to compare two styles. We\u2019ll start with the piece by Pergolesi and you can hear the style of the 1700s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Sunday\u2019s performance, there will be a \u201cPre-Concert Talk\u201d by Michael Hall from 6:30-7 p.m. followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The program will include Edvard Grieg\u2019s \u201cHolberg Suite,\u201d Johannes Brahms\u2019 \u201cFour Serious Songs (featuring Thomas West, baritone),\u201d Maurice Ravel\u2019s \u201cPavane for a Dead Princess\u201d and Stravinsky\u2019s \u201cPulcinella Suite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Sunday performance is more of a typical concert,\u201d said Hall. \u201cThe first half will include pieces by Ravel, Grieg and Brahms. The first half is strings only. The second half will also have wind and brass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith \u2018Holberg Suite,\u2019 Grieg composed fresh music with an ear to the past. It imitates the music of the baroque era.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the Brahms piece, a baritone songs four songs that deal with death and achieving peace with death coming. It\u2019s very prophetic \u2013 very beautiful and touching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video link for Kennett Symphony \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rWLWE2gWMZU\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/rWLWE2gWMZU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for Saturday are $50 in advance; $55 day of concert for adults and $10 for students (18 and under).<\/p>\n<p>Ticket price includes the concert, your first glass of wine or other beverage, and hors d&#8217;oeuvres.

Jim McCue is the pillar of Boston comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins is a Boston Comedy Festival favorite. He has also appeared at The Comedy Studio, CBS Comedy Scene, and The Comedy Connection RI. He recently starred in a series of very funny television commercials for NASCAR and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>MacFarland is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actress. She has an extensive resume including comedy clubs, theaters, colleges, festivals, films, television appearances and entertaining US troops overseas. McFarland has appeared on Comedy Central, NBC\u2019s Last Comic Standing, Up Early Tonight on Hulu and Denis Leary\u2019s Comics Come Home. She has several comedy albums available on iTunes and can be heard on SiriusXM.<\/p>\n<p>Spohn has performed in The Boston Comedy Festival and at venues all around New England. He&#8217;s got a sketch and standup show called \u201cWith Friends Online\u201d available on Youtube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTom, Kelly and I all are of Irish descent,\u201d said Collins. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be an all-Irish comedy show. But we all do have a small repertoire of Irish material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a comedy junkie from when I was little. I remember watching Johnny Carson and Bob Hope on TV. When I was in high school in the 80s, comedy was having a boom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got my start in comedy at Nick\u2019s Comedy Stop in Boston. I started doing open mics there in 1992. That same year, I was a freshman at Marist College. I ended up graduating from Curry College with a communication major and theatre minor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got into acting and stand-up comedy went on the back burner. I was doing mostly comedic roles onstage. And I got a lot of work doing commercials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Collins returned to comedy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was an improv coach at Curry,\u201d said Collins. \u201cThen, Boston Casting needed someone to teach a stand-up class. The showcase for the class was at Nick\u2019s. It was great. I got the bug that night and went back to comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins works primarily in Boston and surrounding New England states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never played Philadelphia before,\u201d said Collins. \u201cActually, I\u2019ve only ever been to Philly once. I hope I\u2019m able to see some of the city on this trip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show on March 18 will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15759 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/irish-comedy-colonial-350x263.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" \/>More Irish comedy will be on tap on March 20 when the Colonial Theater (227 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, <a href=\"http:\/\/thecolonialtheatre.com\/\">thecolonialtheatre.com<\/a>) hosts The Irish Comedy Tour<\/p>\n<p>The Irish Comedy Tour takes the party atmosphere of a Dublin pub and combines it with a boisterous, belly-laugh band of hooligans<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s comedians and musicians, whose ancestors hail from the Emerald Isle, include Detroit native Derek Richards; Washington D.C. born Patrick Garrity; Ohio\u2019s Michael Malone; Nova Scotia\u2019s Damon Leibert; and from Inchicore, a suburb of Dublin, Ireland Derrick Keane.<\/p>\n<p>Audiences howl at Richards\u2019 tales about his child free existence, living in Las Vegas and his blue collar upbringing. He has appeared on Amazon Prime, The Bob &amp; Tom Show, SiriusXM, and The Weather Channel\u2019s Top 10. He just released his fourth album, Double Down, available on iTunes, Spotify and Soundcloud.<\/p>\n<p>Leibert\u2019s unique and energetic style of fiddle playing lies somewhere between the driving dance beat of Cape Breton, and the lyrical music of Ireland. His power packed performance adds an incredible dimension to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Keane, originally from Inchicore, Derrick first distinguished himself musically when the duo in which he sang and played swept the All Ireland Talent Competition. His band, Inchicore, sets the gold standard for the Irish music scene in New England and across North America. A brilliant voice and razor-sharp \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0wit make him a huge hit on the tour.<\/p>\n<p>Garrity is known for his constant road schedule appropriately dubbed, The Never Ending Tour. This 20 year comedy veteran brings his hilarious observations and impressions to the stage. He\u2019s a favorite from coast to coast and across the border in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, Malone, with his blistering humor that focuses on breaking down the idiotic ways we deal with life, death, love, and grief. An absolute hammer of a comedian seen on Fox, Comedy Central, Showtime and HULU.<\/p>\n<p>Video link for The Irish Comedy Tour \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5aLkuc532dY?list=PLF210BD432AF10C0E\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/5aLkuc532dY?list=PLF210BD432AF10C0E<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show on March 20 will start at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are $25, $30 and $35.<\/p>\n<p>The Tony Award-winning revival of Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein\u2019s \u201cOklahoma!\u201d is making its Philly premiere\u00a0at the Forrest Theatre (1114 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kimmelculturalcampus.org\/\">www.kimmelculturalcampus.org<\/a>) now through March 20.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOklahoma!\u201d marks the first production to re-open the Forrest Theatre since the COVID pandemic shut everything down.<\/p>\n<p>The Forrest Theatre, which is owned by The Shubert Organization, is presenting this touring production in partnership with the Kimmel Cultural Campus.\u00a0\u201cOklahoma!\u201d first played the Forrest Theatre in 1945 and last played the venue on October 6, 1979.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein&#8217;s \u201cOklahoma!\u201d is one of the quintessential American musicals. For 15 years (1946-1961), it held the record as the longest running show on Broadway and, at one time, the National Tour of \u201cOklahoma!\u201d held the record as the longest continual tour.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it has been more than 75 years since the hit musical made its Broadway debut (March 31, 1943, at the St. James Theatre), it is still as popular as ever. The new national tour has been playing to full houses in theaters around the country.<\/p>\n<p>The show is set in the early 1900s on a farm that is about three hours from the closest town. It\u2019s right before Oklahoma became a state &#8212; a few years after the land rush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOklahoma!\u201d is a story about Laurey, the girl that is in love with Curly. It\u2019s a love story between the two &#8212; and there\u2019s an evil farmhand (Jud) who also is in love with Laurey.<\/p>\n<p>Aunt Eller (Laurey\u2019s aunt) has a strong hand in everything. Laurey\u2019s two best friends&#8211; Ado Annie and Will Parker &#8212; add comic relief.<\/p>\n<p>This revival is\u00a0\u201cOklahoma!\u201d as it has never been seen before.<\/p>\n<p>The production has been re-imagined for the 21st century. However, not a word of text was changed in the script from the original Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein 1943 musical.\u00a0Directed by Daniel Fish, this production won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been out on tour since mid-October,\u201d said Hennessy Winkler (Will Parker), during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI auditioned during the lockdown period \u2013 recorded auditions. It was before everyone knew the pandemic was going to last so long. I got called in for the role of Will Parker. I knew the movie. It was my dad\u2019s favorite musical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to have gotten this job. I was a fan of Daniel Fish before I auditioned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This new revival by Fish includes a small 12-person cast with no chorus or ensemble. Dancing and choreography are limited. A seven-piece bluegrass band performs on stage. The Grammy-nominated score re-orchestrates some of the most classic songs in American theatre history, resulting in a refreshing modern take on the famous score.<\/p>\n<p>Stripped down to reveal the darker psychological truths at its core, this new revival tells the story of a community banding together against an outsider&#8230;. the production is also funny, sexy, provocative and probing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOklahoma!\u201d has always been a story about a community coming together, and this production uses scenic and lighting design to evoke a sense of togetherness. There are moments the lights are left up, moments of total darkness, and a visible band center stage.<\/p>\n<p>The show\u00a0has long been celebrated as an iconic piece of musical theatre, uniting audiences with the idea of a perfect America. But viewed anew in the context of a country still struggling with racial, economic and gender equity, sharply divided by political beliefs, this production pushes back on the notion of a perfect nation &#8212; instead suggesting the idea that America is still very much a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith \u2018Oklahoma!,\u2019 there is a darkness I\u2019ve always been captivated with,\u201d said Winkler. \u201cI was obsessed that Daniel has taken \u2018Oklahoma!\u2019 in this direction. He just brought the darkness into the light. He\u2019s taken what\u2019s already there and turned it a little.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a dream role for me. I\u2019m very much like this character. Daniel is simple. He\u2019s slow on the uptake but he gets there. He loves his girl, and he loves dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some things about \u201cOklahoma!\u201d never change.<\/p>\n<p>Audiences love the music &#8212; classic songs such as \u201cOh, What A Beautiful Mornin\u2019,\u201d \u201cPeople Will Say We\u2019re In Love,\u201d \u201cThe Surrey With The Fringe On Top\u201d and, of course, the title track \u201cOklahoma!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The songs are all the same in this production, but they are presented in a much darker way \u2013 as is the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>Video link for \u201cOklahoma!\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/A9FXCGRRGRY\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/A9FXCGRRGRY<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOklahoma!\u201d will run now through March 20 at the Forrest Theatre. Ticket prices start at $47.<\/p>\n<p>Dan\u00a0Navarro\u00a0is no stranger to area fans. As a solo artist, he has played a number of gigs in the area over the last few years including shows at Kennett Flash and the Living Room at 35 East (35 Ardmore Avenue, Ardmore,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthelivingroomat35east.com%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7Ce782725cf9704353436508da06d6bb42%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637829816615863491%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=dBaTVXceL9PxpLSr5vhHViNSyqr9tYOamhi6SNe1ydo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">https:\/\/thelivingroomat35east.com<\/a>), which is owned by Laura Mann, the show\u2019s opening act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaura has done a great job with her club (the Living Room),\u201d said\u00a0Navarro, during a phone interview Monday from a tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this show, she\u2019s the opening act. And she\u2019ll be joining me onstage. Laura and I have written three songs together, so we\u2019ll be playing them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navarro has been back in the studio \u2013 and he\u2019s loving it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started making a new record last summer,\u201d said Navarro. \u201cI\u2019m working with a producer who has done six of my last eight albums \u2013 Jim Scott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a great producer and engineer. He\u2019s won seven Grammy Awards and has worked with a lot of great acts including Tom Petty and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lists of artists Scott has worked with is like a \u201cWho\u2019s Who\u201d of rock music \u2013 Will Hoge, Sting, Dweezil Zappa, The Bangles, Crowded House, The Connells, Robbie Robertson, Danzig, Rage Against The Machine, Johnny Cash, Donovan and several hundred more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tracked the album over 12 days last July and August at PLYRZ, Jim\u2019s studio in Santa Clarita, California,\u201d said Navarro. \u201cThen, I went on the road for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spent five days in the studio two weeks ago and three days last week. We\u2019ll spend five days mixing in April when I get back from this tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located just 25 minutes north of Hollywood, PLYRZ features a classic Neve 8048 recording console and rooms full of vintage instruments, outboard gear and microphones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vibe at the studio is amazing,\u201d said Navarro. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible place with wall hangings and instruments everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJim and I have a long history of working together. He\u2019s my age and, at this stage of our careers, we\u2019re having a ball. It\u2019s really exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe album has 10 tracks. We cut more and decided to save some for later. We did 16 tracks and cut it to 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the songs were written in the last five years. My last album was in 2018 and those songs go back to 2015. The songs on the new album go from 2016 to now. But there is one song \u2013 \u2018Come Around\u2019 \u2013 that I wrote when I was 21.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is a theme for the new one it is \u2013 I\u2019m this age and I\u2019m still doing it. There is a real upbeat song, a spooky song, a couple you-busted-my-heart songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother project I was involved in was the soundtrack for \u2018Encanto.\u2019 I was one of 12 session singers on \u2018We Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEncanto\u201d is the latest Disney animation blockbuster movie and the track \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d has become a viral sensation.

It will be over 50,000 by the time I get home after this tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navarro\u00a0became familiar to a lot of listeners not so much as a solo artist but more as one-half of the popular duo Lowen &amp;\u00a0Navarro.<\/p>\n<p>Lowen &amp;\u00a0Navarro\u00a0was a songwriting team composed of David Eric Lowen and Dan\u00a0Navarro, who met in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote the song \u201cWe Belong,\u201d which became a major hit for Pat Benatar in 1984.\u00a0 They became active as a performing group in 1987. In 1990, they began to release a number of records of their own, including \u201cLearning to Fall\u201d and \u201cPurpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March 2004, Lowen was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease.
