It’s hard to imagine a world without Rock and Roll. In the 50’s, Rock and Roll was forged in the 20th Century cultural cauldron that was America’s “melting Pot.” Join us as we explore those exciting early days when music with a backbeat was fresh and fascinating. The vitality of Elvis Presley, the brilliance of Chuck Berry, the genius of Ray Charles, the depth of Johnny Cash, the electricity of Little Richard, the raw power of Jerry Lee Lewis and the greatness of Buddy Holly are all magnificently represented in the powerhouse cast of Birth of Rock.

Photographers Mike Waddell & Chrissie Dickinson ring in the Halloween and Samhain season with “Haunted,” a photo and video show of their work that puts the spotlight on the spooky, the supernatural and the good old macabre.

The opening night reception is Friday, October 27, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Admission is free.

The exhibit will run from Friday, October 27 to Monday, October 30. Viewing hours are 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m on Saturday through Monday.

Both Waddell and Dickinson focus their work on the ghostly allure of distant apparitions, overcast graveyards and remembrances of the dead. The exhibit is a visual examination of the shadows, memories and inner thoughts that haunt us. The show will appeal to fans of smart, subtle horror and devotees of all things that go bump in the night.
