Freeman Center for the Arts at Bayside in Fenwick Island.  This summer-long series of concerts, movies and arts focused educational events will take place on the newly constructed outdoor stage at Bayside.  As a way of preparing the community for the eventual arrival of the Joshua M. Freeman Center for the Arts we will offer free events throughout the summer, and each week will include:

Friday 7:00pm:  Music on the Green
Saturday at 10:00am:   Children’s Hour

Live productions of South Pacific and Einstein’s Breakfast. Great movies under the stars including Shrek, Kicking and Screaming, Hairspray…plus comedy, storytelling and the visual arts.

So, pull out your blankets and picnic baskets and grab your friends. We are looking forward to having a great and artsy summer with you. Call our Summer Stage hotline at 302.436.3015 or check out the calendar for the latest information on what’s showing at the stage.
