The powerful blast left a crater 200 feet wide and several stories deep. The cost for damage to the building and disruption of business for the 360 companies with offices in the Center exceeded $591 million. Fifteen people - the fundamentalist Muslim cleric Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman and 14 of his followers were indicted for the bombing.

Don’t miss the best party in town!

Irish music and dance shows often conjure up images of flat caps, waistcoats and comely maidens at the crossroads. Intimate, playful and fun for the whole family, The Irish House Party is a welcome antidote to cheesy portrayals of Irish music and culture. Don’t miss the party everyone will be talking about all year long!



The show is hosted by All-Ireland champion musicians, dancers and entertaining presenters who create this unique Irish experience in its proper homely setting, resulting in an exciting new theatre-going experience. This fresh approach has made the show hugely popular with both Irish and international audiences with sell-out shows in Dublin.

The Irish House Party seeks to create an atmosphere where guests can be entertained and educated about the music. There is no distance between performers and guests: Just like a proper Irish house party.

This live cast brings the music to life at a time when the appreciation of Pink Floyd has never been greater!

For over 4 decades the amazing music and live concerts of Pink Floyd have entertained and mesmerized audiences around the world. Their live performances were both aurally astounding and visually brilliant. Today Pink Droyd, a tribute to Pink Floyd, brings the look, feel, and sound of those shows to audiences, both young and old, around the country. Their show is both accurate to the Pink Floyd music and visually stunning with their robotic, intelligent light show, digital video accompaniment (including the Pink Floyd traditional circular video screen), and amazing laser show.

In 1979, Pink Floyd released their grand opus, “The Wall”- an amazing double album that dissects the inner struggles of the character Pink. Over the following four decades these songs, and their stunning imagery have shaped and defined countless works, spoken to generations, and have served as the soundtrack to many of our lives.

For the 40th anniversary of that landmark album, Pink Droyd will be performing The Wall Live, complete and uncut. This audio/visual experience is one to be seen and to be part of. Experience the characters, the Wall, the Trial…and much more, with the whole family!!
Don’t miss your chance to experience Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” – In The Flesh!!
Pink Droyd brings to life the music of Pink Floyd by including theatrical performances of some of Pink Floyd’s most memorable songs. From building The Wall to visiting The Dark Side of the MoonPink Droyd spans the Pink Floyd catalog including the most memorable hits and some beloved obscure tracks. With a combined Pink Floyd tribute band experience of over 50 years this all-star cast brings the music and experience of Pink Floyd to audiences at a time when the appreciation of Pink Floyd has never been greater!

- A Tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire

Tickets start at $28*
Member Price: $19.60*

Ten highly talented vocalists and musicians harmoniously join forces to present A TRIBUTE TO EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE.



This tribute is a celebration of the four-decade strong success, popularity and resilience of one of the most successful musical stories ever told…… EARTH, WIND & FIRE!



Maurice White along with his brother Verdine and Philip Bailey began in the Sixties as R&B’s first super crossover group, and in the Seventies became just that in the music industry.

Today, no party is complete without them & no night on the town can end without hearing at least one of their harmony-laden tracks. Earth, Wind & Fire’s music is ‘timeless’, and fans around the world constantly crave the opportunity to hear their songs performed live. Shining Star now fills that void!



This amazing recreation of Earth, Wind & Fire’s music and show is based on the 1970’s thru 1980’s the peak time of Earth, Wind & Fire’s magical career, and the highly acclaimed live recordings of their concerts later released on DVD’s. This show’s playlist has been hailed as the definitive collection of Earth, Wind & Fire’s top charting hits, and includes best-loved songs such as After The Love Is Gone, Sing A Song, September, the remake of the Beatles classic song Got To Get You Into My Life from the movie Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band and their namesake “Shining Star”, along with disco tracks, Boogie Wonderland, and Let’s Groove Tonight. Earth, Wind & Fire has performed at countless award shows where they have also received 6 Grammy Awards and 4 American Music Awards. They have been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.



Rolling Stone Magazine has described them as “innovative, precise yet sensual, calculated yet galvanizing” and has also declared that the band “changed the sound of black pop”. In 1998, they were ranked at number 60 on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Rock N’ Roll. Earth, Wind & Fire is known for the dynamic sound of their horn section and the interplay between the contrasting vocals of Philip Bailey’s falsetto and Maurice White’s tenor.



Shining Star ‘s live show consists of Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, 2 Keyboardist, Drums, 3 Piece Horn Section & The exact vocal reproduction of Maurice White and Philip Bailey. Shining Star will deliver a national quality performance for a fraction of the price tag of a band of their magnitude and size. Your guest will leave this musical and visual extravaganza feeling as though they have been entertained by the legends and most well known R&B pop bands ever…EARTH, WIND & FIRE.

Based on the life of John Merrick, The Elephant Man is about the young man who lived in London during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Horribly deformed (a victim of rare skin and bone diseases), he becomes the star attraction in freak shows for the traveling sideshows.

Found abandoned and helpless, he is admitted to London’s prestigious Whitechapel Hospital. Under the care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati, only to be denied his ultimate dream – to become a man like any other.
