Three major DE springtime traditions are happening this week: Flower Market, G&S, PTP
Wilmington Flower Market
Musical performances at the Flower Market this year include Spinto Band at 5pm on Thursday and Cheers Elephant at 4pm on Thursday. For the full list of performers, which seems to be otherwise geared towards the very very young (oh God, the posturing on some of these band photos...) consult: http://www.wstw.com/flower.php
The festival is happening May 5th, 6th, & 7th, 10am- 7pm, at Rockford Park.

Ardensingers' Gilbert & Sullivan performance
The Ardensingers are a local opera group that have been putting on Gilbert & Sullivan performances in Arden, every spring, for the past 63 years (84 if you count the name the company started under in the twenties). What can I say about Ardensingers, which is something I was involved in as a teenager? It's not quite like going to see a professional opera company. But they put a pretty high quality show nonetheless, and it's always an entertaining two hours. There's a live pit orchestra, elaborate costumes and wigs, nice sets. A lot of work gets put into these performances. Definitely go to see their Mikado, which will be next year's operetta.
This year they're doing The Gondoliers, which is the story of two newly-wed Venetian gondoliers whose fortunes change. Performances are May 5th at 8pm, May 6th at 8pm, and May 7th and 2pm and 8pm. Tickets are $17 for adults (yes, pricey, but a quarter of the cost of a professional opera performance), $14 for seniors, and $10 for full-time students and children under 18.
The location is Gild Hall in Arden, off of Harvey Rd in North Wilmington. Visit http://www.ardensingers.com/ for more details.
------------------------------------------------
Point-to-Point on Sunday
Point-to-Point is well covered by the local media and needs no fanfare here. It's also not exactly Wilmingtonic's bag. But for those who like to wear big hats, or who like to sit on a patch of grass and drink (that great Delawarean past-time), the date is May 8th. Also, if someone gives you a free ticket, you might as well check it out at least once. Get some ice cream if Woodside Creamery is there.

In theater news, Chapel Street Players are tearing it up at regional competitions with their latest production.
Just this week CSP won "Best Overall Production", "Outstanding Actor", and "Outstanding Direction" for their performance of Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story" at the Eastern States Theatre Association Festival.
The Chapel Street Players will soon be following up these accolades with their first ever appearance at the American Association of Community Theatre National Competition. Very impressive.
The community theater company, now in its 77th year, is based in Newark, and they have a pretty full schedule this year. They're looking for people to volunteer as ushers, incidentally. For more info, visit:

Quick notes: New Delaware Theatre Co. play, the endless hilarity of college paper writing, "curriculum-based" pole dancing
Paramount Records was an early blues, jazz, and spiritual label out of the midwest that put out recordings by Blind Lemon Jefferson, Louis Armstrong, and Lawrence Welk, among others. Such recordings were, according to the Paramount website, early inspiration for Elvis Presley, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. Delaware's own Kevin Ramsey, who has also written musicals about Sam Cooke and the Louisiana Bayou, has put this history to song.
"Chasin' Dem Blues", the story of paramount records, is debuting today at 8pm at Delaware Theatre Company, on Water Street. Tickets are $35-$49, with discounts for students and seniors.
---------------------------------------------------
Light mockery warning: I giggled my way through an article (I won't say where) this morning about a benefit concert for WVUD that occurred recently. The best part:
"Some performers who gained popularity after participating in the concert in the past were Dr. Dog, whose music was featured on a Fox TV show, and The Walkmen, who were featured on the Spiderman 3 soundtrack."
You know, Dr. Dog - you may know them from that Fox TV show that featured their song! Or how about The Walkmen - you know, from the Spiderman 3 soundtrack?
The author knew she had to emphasize these bands' successes, and of all the examples she could have given (regulars on the late-night talk show circuit, Coachella and Bonnaroo, world tours), she settled on "music featured on a tv show" and "music featured in a movie". Because, you know, there is no pinnacle for a band like ... Spiderman 3.
Alright, enough ribbing. Congrats to local bands The Common Room, Stallions, and Lower Case Blues, who played this benefit concert. May their futures be filled with Fox TV placements that'll make the hometown proud.
-----------------------------------------------
And for ladies needing a brush up on pole dancing skills: there's a "Flirt Level Pole Class", just in case you were afraid of becoming too putan about it ("it's not about gyrating your body for money and/or narcotics - it's just flirting!"), and a "Pole Fusion Class", which is being advertised as a curriculum-based program. Curriculum-based! I love it. Who gets together to create this curriculum? What does such a conference of pole experts look like? Both classes are on Thursdays at Physique Pole Studio in Pike Creek. Bedroom community, indeed.
