"Driving Miss Daisy" at Bell Theater
2026-08-19 14:00 - 16:30, 2026-08-20 14:00 - 16:30, 2026-08-21 19:00 - 21:30, 2026-08-22 14:00 - 16:30 | Bell Theater, 101 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel, 07733
The Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning drama Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming and humorous journey through an unlikely friendship that transcends race, class, and time. Set in the Deep South of 1948—on the cusp of the Civil Rights movement—this beloved play follows the fiercely independent Miss Daisy Werthan, a sharp-tongued Jewish widow, and Hoke Colburn, a patient and dignified Black chauffeur, as they navigate 25 years of change, challenge, and companionship. What begins as a reluctant arrangement soon blossoms into a deep and enduring bond, proving that understanding and kindness can bridge even the widest divides. Poignant, funny, and profoundly moving, Driving Miss Daisy is a touching and timeless story of human connection.

Andy Frasco & the Kitchen Dwellers at the Stone Pony
2026-08-20 19:00 - 23:00 | The Stone Pony
With curly tufts of a recognizable ‘fro peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap, Andy Frasco is a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett. He’s a band-fronting, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N., not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stagediving into the crowd or kibitzing with them, an Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.”
The band has grown from playing bars to touring more than 250 days a year all over the country, with Frasco describing that 15-year journey on Growing Pains, the group’s landmark 10th studio album and first full-length effort since 2023’s L’Optimist, showcasing Andy’s growth as a tunesmith in his own right.
Kitchen Dwellers continue to carve out their own lane in the world of progressive roots music, blending bluegrass, folk, and psychedelic grit into a sound as expansive as their Montana home. The Bozeman-born quartet of Shawn Swain (mandolin), Torrin Daniels (banjo), Joe Funk
(upright bass), and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) has grown from regional upstarts into one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking bands in modern string music. Their catalog pairs instrumental virtuosity with emotional storytelling, an exploratory spirit, and a deep connection to the American West.

Dylan Scott on the Stone Pony Summer Stage
2026-08-21 18:30 - 22:30 | The Stone Pony Summer Stage, 913 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, NJ, 07702, United States
DYLAN SCOTT
on The Stone Pony Summer Stage
Despite a multi-Platinum story and six No. 1 singles, including two fresh smashes in 2025 alone, Curb Records hitmaker Dylan Scott has always kept an underdog mindset. A rowdy roughneck with a romantic side – one whose modern edge was sharpened by timeless, emotional twang – the consummate family man broke out with the epic triple-Platinum devotion of “My Girl” in 2016 and followed up with scrappy, under-the-radar consistency. Chart-topping heart-forward anthems like “Hooked,” “Nobody” and “New Truck” all reached RIAA-certified status, but last year launched the crooner into the stratosphere. Posting back-to-back No. 1s with Gold-certified “Boys Back Home” (with Dylan Marlowe) and Platinum-certified “This Town’s Been Too Good to Us,” Scott wrapped 2025 as the third most-played country artist of 2025 and continues his hot streak with his current single, Platinum-certified “What He’ll Never Have,” which nears the Top 10 at Country radio and was honored by ASCAP as one of the most-performed country songs of 2025. With nearly 5 billion career streams, legions of fans and countless sold-out shows to his credit, his stardom has somehow grown in relative stealth. But with his third full album, Easy Does It, he’s not sweating. Sure of himself, his talent and his fans, Scott heads toward a new creative chapter with total confidence. Featuring 11 tracks, his signature vocal and vivid intensity take center stage on a set defined by personal truth – whether through heartbreak, romantic devotion or small-town dedication. The in-demand live act spent last year on his Country Till I Die Tour, headlining his biggest venues yet including his first-ever arenas and record-breaking attendance, and his Easy Does It Tour. He will continue headlining across the country on his Till I Can’t I Will Tour, launching this spring.
