B.B. King

Universally hailed as "King of the Blues," time has no apparent effect on the single most important electric guitarist of the last half-century, other than to make him more popular, more cherished and more relevant than ever.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall

Tickets start at $25 

January 6, February 3 & March 9 - 1 p.m.

KRAVIS UNDER COVER

Marriage: One Size Does Not Fit All

(ArtSmart / Lecture)

The Kravis Center is introducing a new literary lecture series hosted by Board Member Lee Wolf, a dynamic speaker and lecturer who founded the Theatre Club of Florida Stage in Manalapan and now chairs the popular ArtSmart Continuing Arts Education Lunch & Learn lecture series. Ms. Wolf will analyze the artistic riches of four literary works that provide compelling insights into the male-female psyche: Franklin and Eleanor: An Extraordinary Marriage by Hazel Rowley, The Paris Wife by Paula McLain, A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway and Brick Lane by Monica Ali. Through intuitive observations, participants will come away with answers to questions such as: What style of narrative has the author chosen? Are the characters and underlying themes well defined? How do the events and characterizations relate to you and your worldview?

Tickets are $25 per lecture, $60 for the series

DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL

The Kravis Center is hosting the World Premiere of this delightful new musical from the producer of the off-Broadway hit Menopause The Musical. Still reeling from her divorce, Linda is rescued by her three friends who have come to turn her despair into a weekend of hilarity. Using popular songs with clever new lyrics, the ladies sing and dance their way through the wildest divorce party ever. It's the ultimate Girls' Night Out, coupled with a healthy dose of comic mayhem and a touch of "naughty." For adult audiences. This is a Kravis Center presentation in association with Flip-Her Productions.

* Please note that the 1:30 p.m. performance will not be given on Wednesday, January 11.
