OLD MANSPLAINING WITH TOM BRISCOE is a hilarious celebration of getting older and how to enjoy the ride of the generational divide.
Tom Briscoe and his wife are happily married with two daughters, grown up and out of the house. He has hilarious slants and rants on bad jobs, a good marriage, travel mishaps, raising daughters, empty nesting, ungracefully aging, unsolicited advice, and living each day as a cautionary tale.
THIS PREMIER BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND TRIBUTE is an unstoppable powerhouse ball of energy that brings audiences to their feet, singing and dancing every second of the show! If you can't see Bruce himself, then you MUST see The BOSS Project!
This nine-piece band of professional musicians plays some of Bruce's greatest hits, including: "Born To Run", "Glory Days", "Hungry Heart", "Dancing In The Dark", Born In The USA", "Thunder Road", "Jungleland" and SO MANY MORE!
As is true Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band style, The BOSS Project delivers an arena style show that engages and enthralls audiences of all ages time and time again! With precision, accuracy and live instrumental music and highly trained vocals, The BOSS Project far surpasses today's mostly karaoke-style tribute acts that get by with pre-recorded shows. The BOSS Project performs the music as it was written and meant to be performed by Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band to sold-out audiences around the world - LIVE! The BOSS Project leaves it all on the stage with every heart pounding, gas tank emptying, ounce of energy they have with every show they perform!
"From the moment the band took the stage, they exuded the same energy and passion that Bruce Springsteen himself is known for. It was evident that they had put in countless hours of practice and dedication to truly capture the essence of Springsteen's music."
- Tracey Codd
COMBINING THEIR BACKGROUNDs in cheer and gymnastics, Macey and Joey have built a dynamic acrobatic partnership rooted in strength, trust, and creativity. Together, they bring high-energy performances to the stage that blend power, grace, and storytelling.
Each of their acts is designed to thrill—whether they are soaring through the air or holding seemingly impossible balances, their goal is always to captivate and connect with the audience. From daring lifts to intricate partner work, they aim to showcase the beauty and intensity of acrobatics in every performance.
They’re incredibly excited to share their passion with the Sharron, and hope each piece leaves the audience feeling inspired and wanting more.

Britney Cox, a washed-up actress has been canceled on social media! To hide from the haters her anxious young assistant, Maude Bender, has booked a girl's murder mystery weekend at a Berkshires Airbnb. Joining the fun is Tawny Fitzsimmons, a tired mom, and ex-cop and security detail Dale James. Comic mania ensues when the girl's weekend goes awry. Between pipe bombs, appliances that don't work, slashed tires, a mysterious landlady, and news of a serial killer hunting "pre-elderly women," what more could go wrong? "Bridesmaids" meets "Friday the 13th" in Natalie Symons' hilarious new farce, Nightsweat, as it pokes fun at wokeness, Florida, pronouns, Ozempic, white privilege, "don't say gay," horror movie tropes, fake news, and, of course, Hall & Oats. Book your stay at McCurdy's Haunted Airbnb where murder, mayhem, and belly laughs are behind every door.
