Danny and the Juniors

Legendary Rock’n’Roll Pioneers Danny and the Juniors to Perform at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts
Famed Doo-Wop originators of “At The Hop” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll is Here to Stay” on the RBTA stage on April 4, 2009.



The Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts is proud to announce the arrival of famed rock ‘n’ roll pioneers Danny and the Juniors to the RBTA stage for two special performances occurring on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM.

These are the original members of Danny and the Juniors who’s super hit “At The Hop” became a monumental hit on five continents reaching #1 on the pop, country and rhythm and blues charts. It stands today as the #23 all-time biggest record according to The Billboard Magazine List Of #1 Hits. The group immediately followed with another hit, “Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay”, which became an anthem of the era, plus dance classics “Twistin' USA” and “Pony Express”. These were the first of a string of eleven charted recordings.

Danny And The Juniors have made almost fifty American Bandstand appearances and have been on numerous television shows -- from the old Patti Page Big Record Show to Nashville Now. More recently, they've also been featured in three motion pictures and their songs heard in many more. Danny And The Juniors have been covered in many important national publications including Life, Billboard, Cashbox and Teen. The latest of these is a recent USA Today article that points out the broad appeal of Danny And The Juniors and their music across many demographic categories.

Now, in their fifth decade as performers, the group still appears at a multitude of venues including conventions, theatres, clubs, casinos, fairs and festivals. Their wholesome, fun-loving stage show is embellished with comedy, impressions, bright costumes and audience participation -- while still preserving the rich history -- and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

Danny and the Juniors will appear at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts on Saturday, April 4, 2009 in two separate shows with the first beginning at 6:00 PM followed by a second production at 8:30 PM. Groups of 15 or more purchasing tickets for Danny and the Juniors will receive $5.00 off the admission price and seniors and students will receive 10% off the purchase price.

Fall From Grace, Rise To Glory

On Saturday, February 21st at 8:00 PM, the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts is proud to present the debut of the contemporary Gospel themed theatrical production, “Fall From Grace, Rise to Glory” produced by the award winning “All About The Drama” African American Theatre Group of Washington, DC.

Written by Tim Hicks and directed by Ella C. Davis, “Fall From Grace, Rise to Glory” is a contemporary urban "dramedy" that presents the motivational story of the ultimate betrayal, how one man pushed almost to the brink of death finds himself wrestling with his inner demons and questioning God.

An enriching combination of touching scenes, hilarious situations, and inspirational Gospel music will leave any audience breathlessly clinching their seats as they ride along in the storms of life so touchingly shared by the main character James.

RBTA Executive Director Hugo Immediato, Jr., is excited about being the first professional performance venue in the region to showcase a Contemporary Gospel theatrical production. “African-American gospel music in Delaware has a long and rich history of building strong communities with some extraordinary effects. I’m pleased to represent one of the first, if not the first, professional theatrical venue in the region to highlight productions of this nature. I think this show can fill a niche that seems to have been previously overlooked, and I’m pleased that the RBTA is able to host the debut of this noteworthy production”.
