SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: GREASE
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: GREASE turns a summer movie night in Misquamicut Drive-In into a nostalgic singalong filled with leather jackets\, chrome-era romance\, and iconic musical numbers that still pack crowds decades after the film’s release. Starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John\, GREASE became one of the most beloved movie musicals ever made thanks to its catchy soundtrack\, colorful energy\, and endlessly quotable scenes. Songs like “Summer Nights\,” “Greased Lightnin’\,” and “You’re the One That I Want” have become part of pop culture history\, making this the kind of movie audiences don’t just watch\, they participate in. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become a summer tradition for locals and visitors looking to combine classic entertainment with Rhode Island beach town atmosphere. As the sun disappears and the giant outdoor screen lights up\, the area fills with families\, couples\, and groups of friends settling into lawn chairs and open tailgates with snacks and blankets. There’s something timeless about watching a movie under the stars near the shoreline\, especially one built entirely around youthful summer energy\, romance\, and music. The setting fits GREASE almost too perfectly. \nPart of the experience comes from the drive-in’s old-school audio setup\, which gives the night an immersive\, communal feeling. Guests tune their car radios to 96.3 FM to hear the movie soundtrack directly through their vehicles\, and on warm evenings with the windows down\, the music drifts across the lot like surround sound. Speakers near the screen also project audio for guests parked close to the front rows\, adding even more atmosphere for those sitting outside. Between the beach breeze\, neon glow\, and an audience quietly mouthing lyrics together under the night sky\, this becomes less of a movie screening and more of a summer event. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Front-row guests can also hear sound through outdoor speaker systems\n• Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged for guests sitting outside vehicles\n• Arriving early is recommended for preferred parking and setup time\n• Keep headlights off during the movie to avoid disrupting the screen\n• Bringing layers or hoodies is a good idea once temperatures cool after sunset\n• Guests should check event policies regarding outside food and beverages before arriving

SUMMARY:Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller
DESCRIPTION:Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings the atmosphere\, sound\, and psychedelic scale of Pink Floyd to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Saturday\, May 16 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set among the woods\, outdoor seating areas\, and fire pits of the legendary Rathskeller property\, the night blends classic rock nostalgia with open-air spring nightlife in one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable live music settings. \nHeadlining the evening is Retro Floyd\, a Massachusetts-based tribute group known throughout the Northeast for recreating the layered vocals\, atmospheric soundscapes\, and immersive concert feel associated with Pink Floyd’s legendary live performances. The band’s shows pull from both major hits and deeper catalog favorites\, delivering the sweeping guitars\, harmonies\, and mood-driven arrangements that longtime Floyd fans expect. Rather than simply covering songs\, Retro Floyd aims to recreate the emotional and sonic experience of a full Pink Floyd concert. \nThe Charlestown Rathskeller adds another layer to the experience\, with guests encouraged to arrive early for food\, drinks\, and outdoor gathering before the music begins. Between the rustic setting\, spring weather\, and expansive property\, the event feels built for groups of friends looking to settle in for a long night of music and atmosphere. For fans of classic rock\, psychedelic sound\, and live tribute performances that lean heavily into authenticity\, Retro Floyd offers one of the more immersive music nights happening on the shoreline this month. \nSEO Description (160 characters max):

SUMMARY:Prince/Bowie at The UNITED
DESCRIPTION:Prince/Bowie at The UNITED brings together the music of Prince and David Bowie in a genre-blending live concert experience at The UNITED Theatre. Rather than functioning as a traditional tribute act focused on one artist\, Prince/Bowie merges the catalogs\, styles\, and stage energy of two of music’s most influential performers into a single high-powered show filled with funk\, glam rock\, pop experimentation\, and theatrical live performance. \nCreated by Eric Gould\, founder of Pink Talking Fish\, the project pulls together musicians from nationally touring acts including Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, Cool Cool Cool\, and The Giant Country Horns. The result is a band built around technical musicianship\, improvisation\, and creative reinterpretation rather than simple imitation. Horn arrangements by composer Matt Wayne add another layer to the performances\, giving familiar songs a fresh live energy while preserving the spirit of the originals. \nThe setlist itself becomes part of the appeal\, blending iconic songs from both artists into seamless mashups and transitions that feel designed for a concert crowd rather than a nostalgia act. Audiences can expect combinations like “Let’s Dance” flowing into “1999” or “Moonage Daydream” colliding with “Purple Rain\,” creating a show that constantly shifts between Bowie’s art-rock atmosphere and Prince’s explosive funk and pop energy. For fans of live musicianship\, classic music catalogs\, and tribute shows willing to experiment creatively\, Prince/Bowie offers one of the more unique concert experiences on the regional calendar. \n

SUMMARY:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse brings the Emmy-nominated comedian’s fearless storytelling and razor-sharp sarcasm to Mohegan Sun for four performances from May 14 through 16. Known for comedy that pulls directly from marriage\, motherhood\, family chaos\, and everyday frustration\, Pescatelli has built a career on saying the things other people are usually too polite to admit out loud. Her stand-up lands somewhere between a brutally honest family therapy session and a hilarious late-night rant\, delivered with the timing and confidence of a veteran comic who knows exactly how to work a room. \nTammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse arrives after decades of success across television\, streaming\, and live touring. She first broke out nationally as a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” before winning Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown” and releasing acclaimed specials\, including “Finding the Funny” and “The Way After School Special.” Her humor often draws from her upbringing in a large Italian-American family\, creating stories that feel loud\, personal\, and deeply relatable\, whether audiences grew up in the same kind of household or not. Fans may also recognize her from the WE TV series “A Stand-Up Mother” or her recent appearance in Netflix’s 2025 comedy-drama “Nonnas” alongside Vince Vaughn. \nComix Roadhouse gives Pescatelli the perfect setting for her style of comedy because the venue thrives on close-up interaction and energetic crowds. The room tends to feel more like a packed comedy club than a casino showroom\, which plays directly into her conversational\, fast-moving delivery. Expect stories about family dysfunction\, modern life\, relationships\, aging\, and all the little irritations people secretly love hearing turned into punchlines. For comedy fans looking for a weekend show with big laughs and zero filter\, these performances should deliver exactly that. \nShowtimes\n\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nFriday\, May 15\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 6:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\n\n

SUMMARY:Anthony Rodia at Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Rodia at Mohegan Sun is bringing his rapid-fire Italian-American family comedy and viral internet energy to the Cabaret Theatre for two nights of stand-up on May 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. Known for turning everyday frustrations into full-blown comedy explosions\, Rodia has built a loyal following by mixing sharp storytelling with the kind of loud\, brutally honest family dynamics that instantly feel familiar to audiences. Inside the more intimate Cabaret setting\, fans can expect a performance that feels personal\, chaotic\, and nonstop funny from the moment he hits the stage. \nAnthony Rodia at the Mohegan Sun arrives during a career surge that has transformed the former luxury car dealership finance manager into one of the most recognizable touring comedians in the country. Since returning to stand-up full time in 2019\, Rodia has exploded online with more than 900\,000 social media followers and millions of YouTube views. His “Road Rage Wednesday” videos became a breakout hit during quarantine\, while recurring characters like Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia turned into fan-favorite personalities that helped define his style of “off the boat” comedy. The humor comes fast and loud\, packed with observations about marriage\, parenting\, family gatherings\, traffic\, and the small annoyances that somehow become major life events. \nThe Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun feels like the perfect fit for Rodia’s style because the room allows audiences to fully feed into the rhythm of his performance. There is a rowdy familiarity to his shows\, almost like sitting in the middle of an over-the-top family dinner where every story spirals into something bigger and funnier than expected. Between his sold-out Road Rage Tour dates\, podcast appearances\, and growing national profile\, these performances are likely to draw a packed crowd ready for a night fueled by loud laughs\, relatable stories\, and the kind of comedy that leaves people repeating jokes all the way home. \n

SUMMARY:Whiskey\, Bourbon\, and Scotch at Kitch Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Whiskey\, Bourbon\, and Scotch at Kitch Mystic offers a guided deep dive into the world of aged spirits\, with an evening focused on whiskey education\, tasting\, and cocktail history. Designed for both experienced whiskey drinkers and curious newcomers\, the class explores Scotch\, Bourbon\, Irish whiskey\, and rye through guided tastings led by acclaimed mixologist and spirits educator Anthony Caporale. \nGuests will learn how to properly taste and evaluate whiskey while sampling a curated lineup that includes Dewar’s White Label Scotch\, Laphroaig 10 Single Malt Scotch\, Green Spot Irish Whiskey\, South County Bourbon\, and Litchfield Straight Rye. Alongside the tastings\, Caporale walks participants through the history\, production\, and science behind whiskey-making\, helping demystify a category that can often feel intimidating to casual drinkers. Spencer and Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants in downtown Mystic provide spirits for the class. \nWhat sets the evening apart is Caporale’s blend of education and entertainment. Known for creating The Imbible series of long-running Off-Broadway musicals about cocktail history\, he brings storytelling\, humor\, and deep industry knowledge into the experience rather than presenting it like a formal lecture. Participants also receive access to an exclusive after-class shopping event with 15% off purchases\, turning the evening into part tasting class\, part social event\, and part whiskey appreciation workshop. \nSEO Description (160 characters max):

SUMMARY:Mystic Seaport 2026 Spring Racing Series
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Seaport 2026 Spring Racing Series brings competitive small-boat sailing back to the Mystic River with a five-week Saturday racing program designed for sailors looking to sharpen their skills before the busy summer season. Hosted by Mystic Seaport Museum\, the series runs Saturdays from April 18 through May 16 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM and combines casual competition with hands-on sailing experience in one of New England’s most recognizable maritime settings. \nParticipants race Dyer Dhows\, the classic small sailboats long associated with sailing instruction and recreational racing throughout coastal New England. The races are designed to balance competitiveness with accessibility\, creating an environment where experienced sailors can stay active during the spring while newer racers build confidence and technique on the water. With the Mystic River serving as the course backdrop\, the series offers both technical sailing practice and scenic shoreline views throughout the afternoon sessions. \nOpen to ages 13 and up\, the Spring Racing Series encourages both full-series registration and flexible drop-in participation for sailors who want to join individual weekends. Space is limited to maintain a manageable on-the-water experience\, helping keep the races interactive and supportive rather than overly formal. For many local sailors\, the program serves as an early-season ritual that signals the return of warmer weather\, boat traffic\, and another busy summer on the shoreline. \n

Organizers note that volunteers using provided kayaks or paddleboards must reserve equipment ahead of time during registration\, and each participant in a group must sign up individually.

SUMMARY:Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks
DESCRIPTION:Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks drops visitors into centuries of maritime mystery and disaster at Mystic Seaport Museum.. The internationally touring exhibition combines massive LEGO® ship recreations with real maritime history\, creating an experience that feels part museum exhibit\, part interactive adventure. As the first American stop for the exhibition\, Mystic Seaport becomes the latest host for a showcase that has previously appeared at major maritime museums in Europe and Australia. \nThe exhibit features eleven detailed LEGO® models recreating famous shipwrecks and maritime disasters spanning thousands of years\, including the Titanic\, the Vasa\, Franklin’s Arctic expedition ships Terror and Erebus\, and the ancient Uluburun trading vessel. Created in partnership with LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan “The Brickman” McNaught\, the displays combine historical storytelling with surprisingly intricate engineering and visual detail. Some models even include cross-section cutaways revealing what happened beneath the waterline. \nInteractive experiences throughout the exhibit invite visitors to test survival scenarios\, operate a remote underwater vehicle\, experiment with ship stability\, and build LEGO® creations of their own. Alongside the models are replica artifacts\, archaeological tools\, and multimedia displays exploring how modern researchers investigate shipwrecks and what those discoveries reveal about trade\, exploration\, disaster\, and human history. The result is an exhibit that works equally well for families\, history buffs\, LEGO® fans\, and anyone who still secretly wants to touch every museum display. \n

SUMMARY:Charlestown 250th Anniversary Historical Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Charlestown 250th Anniversary Historical Bike Tour offers a slower\, more scenic way to experience one of Rhode Island’s quiet historic corners as cyclists wind through the rural landscape of Cross Mills on Saturday\, May 16. Hosted as part of local historical programming tied to America 250 celebrations\, the guided ride blends small-town history\, community storytelling\, and springtime scenery into an experience that feels both educational and relaxing. Riders will stop at several historic sites along the route while learning more about the village’s past and the role the area played in southern Rhode Island’s development. \nLocated within Charlestown\, Cross Mills still carries much of the atmosphere that defines old New England village life\, with historic buildings\, quiet roads\, and stretches of countryside that feel largely untouched by modern development. The route is designed less like a competitive cycling event and more like a moving historical tour\, giving participants time to take in the surroundings while hearing stories connected to the area’s architecture\, early industry\, and local landmarks. For riders interested in photography\, local history\, or simply spending a calm morning outdoors\, the event offers a very different pace from larger festivals and crowded shoreline attractions. \nThe ride begins at 10 a.m. on May 16 and is expected to attract both local residents and visitors interested in Rhode Island history and scenic cycling experiences. The vintage-inspired theme of the event pairs naturally with the setting itself\, where old stone walls\, church steeples\, and winding village roads create the kind of backdrop that feels almost frozen in time. Historical Bicycle Ride Through the Village of Cross Mills requires advance registration\, and participants can sign up by clicking the event link below. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Participants should arrive early for check-in and preparation\n• Riders are encouraged to bring water and wear comfortable cycling attire\n• Helmets are strongly recommended for all participants\n• Guests should be prepared for changing spring weather conditions\n• The event focuses on historical touring and sightseeing rather than competitive riding\n• Respect for village roads\, historic sites\, and fellow riders is encouraged throughout the event\n• Registration is required before participating in the ride \n

SUMMARY:Operation Fresh Start - Annual Plant Drive
DESCRIPTION:Operation Fresh Start – Annual Plant Drive returns to Pawcatuck on Saturday\, May 16\, turning 93 Sunrise Ave into a spring community fundraiser filled with flowers\, garden shopping\, local makers\, and neighborhood support. Running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, the annual event invites visitors to browse a wide selection of plants while enjoying the relaxed\, welcoming atmosphere that comes with small-town spring events in Southeastern Connecticut.

SUMMARY:Stonington Village Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Stonington Village Farmers Market has become one of the defining Saturday morning traditions along the Connecticut shoreline\, bringing together local farms\, food vendors\, artisans\, musicians\, and neighbors inside and outside the historic Velvet Mill. Running year-round since becoming a permanent seasonal fixture in 2008\, the market transforms with the seasons\, moving outdoors during the warmer months and indoors during late fall and winter while continuing to serve as a gathering place for the community. \nThe market offers far more than produce stands. Visitors can browse locally grown vegetables and fruits\, cheeses\, baked goods\, meats\, seafood\, maple syrup\, flowers\, mushrooms\, prepared foods\, and handmade crafts while live music plays in the background. The atmosphere feels distinctly coastal New England\, blending small-town community energy with the creativity and food culture that defines Stonington Village. Families\, dog owners\, and longtime locals mingle throughout the morning while vendors showcase everything from handmade soaps and pottery to organic kombucha and Mediterranean cuisine. \nWhat makes the Stonington Village Farmers Market stand out is how deeply connected it feels to the rhythm of the region itself. Some visitors arrive early for greenhouse spinach or fresh seafood before it sells out\, while others come simply to wander with coffee in hand and reconnect with neighbors. Between the local farmers\, prepared food vendors\, musicians\, and rotating artisan booths\, the market has evolved into more than a shopping destination. It has become a weekly community ritual that reflects the character\, creativity\, and agricultural roots of southeastern Connecticut. \nParticipating Vendors & Farms \n\nAPIS VERDI\nBroad Brook Acres\nDavis Farm\nISSA Catering\nJon Fish\nSeacoast Mushrooms\nSugar Maple Farms\nSweet Acre Farm\nWakin’ Up Waggin’\n18th Century Purity Farm\nStonyledge Farm and Studio Farm Products\nSummer Hill Catering\nCato Corner Farm\nTreatzles\nFiber + Mud\nYALLA\n\nSponsors & Organizers \n\nStonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA)\nVelvet Mill\n\n

SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: JAWS
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: JAWS brings one of the most iconic summer thrillers ever made back to the big screen just steps from the shoreline at Misquamicut Drive-In. Steven Spielberg’s legendary 1975 blockbuster transformed beach season forever with its story of a quiet coastal town terrorized by a great white shark lurking just offshore. Even decades later\, the tension still works. The slow build\, the unforgettable score\, and the feeling that something might be circling beneath the water make JAWS the kind of movie that feels especially perfect to watch near the ocean on a warm summer night. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s most nostalgic seasonal attractions\, blending old-school drive-in culture with the atmosphere of a beach town summer evening. Cars line up facing the massive outdoor screen while families\, couples\, and groups of friends settle into lawn chairs\, truck beds\, and open tailgates with snacks and blankets. On nights when the ocean breeze rolls through the area\, the experience feels less like a normal movie screening and more like a community gathering wrapped in neon lights\, salt air\, and movie quotes everyone somehow already knows by heart. \nPart of what gives the drive-in its charm is how immersive the setup becomes after dark. Guests tune their car radios to 96.3 FM\, where the movie audio is broadcast directly into vehicles\, creating an unexpectedly cinematic experience\, especially with the windows down on a cool night. Speakers near the front rows also project sound toward the screen area\, adding another layer to the atmosphere for guests sitting outside their vehicles. Between the beachside setting\, the giant screen glowing against the night sky\, and the collective reactions during JAWS’ most famous scenes\, it becomes the kind of summer memory people talk about long after the credits roll. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Guests sitting near the screen can also hear audio through front speaker systems\n• Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged for guests watching outside their vehicles\n• Arrive early for better parking spots and easier entry\n• Be respectful of neighboring vehicles by keeping headlights off during the movie\n• Outside snacks may be allowed\, but guests should check event policies before arriving\n• Beach evenings can become cool after sunset\, so bringing layers is recommended \n

SUMMARY:Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center's Stargazing Nights
DESCRIPTION:Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center’s Stargazing Nights turn a quiet Friday evening in Ninigret Park into one of the most atmospheric experiences in southern New England. Hosted by Frosty Drew Observatory & Science Center\, the weekly gathering invites visitors to explore the night sky through powerful telescopes while astronomers guide guests across planets\, star clusters\, distant galaxies\, and the glowing band of the Milky Way overhead. Under some of the darkest skies in Rhode Island\, the experience feels less like a formal science program and more like stumbling into a community of people quietly obsessed with the universe. \nAs darkness settles over Ninigret Park\, visitors can expect views that change depending on the season and sky conditions\, often including Saturn’s rings\, Jupiter’s moons\, the cratered surface of the Moon\, and deep space objects rarely visible in brighter suburban areas. The observatory’s Sky Theatre and telescope stations create an immersive environment where curious first-timers mingle with amateur astronomers and longtime stargazers. There’s something strangely calming about standing in near silence while strangers take turns peering into the cosmos\, especially on clear summer nights when the Milky Way stretches visibly across the sky. \nThe observatory typically opens around 8:30 p.m. on Friday nights and remains active through at least 10:30 p.m.\, sometimes later depending on weather and viewing conditions. Because the event is weather dependent\, updates are posted on the day of the event before 3 p.m. Organizers also note that Ninigret Park’s dark sky rules prohibit white light use after dusk in order to protect night vision and sensitive astronomical equipment\, giving the entire area an almost surreal glow of dim red lights and shadowy pathways. Tickets for Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center’s Stargazing Nights can be purchased by clicking the event link below. \nWhen ticket sales open\, a link to purchase / acquire tickets will be added to the “Cost” field on the event page. Once event capacity is reached\, these fields will be listed as “Sold Out“\, and we will be unable to allow entry to any more guests. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Guests should avoid using white flashlights\, phone flashlights\, or bright screens after dusk\n• Red light flashlights are encouraged to preserve night vision\n• Bug spray is highly recommended during warmer months due to mosquitoes and insects near the wildlife refuge\n• Weather conditions may affect visibility or event operations\n• Children ages 5 and older require tickets\n• Arriving early is recommended for the best viewing opportunities and parking access \n

DESCRIPTION:Take It To The Bridge at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings funk\, soul\, pop\, and dance-floor energy to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Friday\, May 15 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set against the wooded outdoor atmosphere of one of Rhode Island’s most iconic taverns\, the night combines live music\, food\, drinks\, and open-air spring nightlife into the kind of shoreline evening people wait all winter to get back to. \nHeadlining the night is Take It To The Bridge\, an award-winning eight-piece band known for turning dance crowds loose with a mix of funk\, soul\, rock\, pop\, and high-energy party favorites. Since forming in 2014\, the group has built a strong regional following thanks to tight musicianship\, big vocals\, and a setlist built around recognizable songs designed to keep people moving. Their performances lean heavily into crowd energy\, transforming concerts into full-on dance parties by the end of the first set. \nThe Charlestown Rathskeller itself adds a major part of the experience\, with expansive outdoor seating\, fire pits\, lawn games\, and the rustic atmosphere that has made the venue a summer destination for generations. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for dinner and drinks before the music starts\, as the combination of warm weather\, outdoor vibes\, and live music tends to fill the property quickly. Between the atmosphere\, the band\, and the setting in the woods of Charlestown\, this feels less like a concert and more like the unofficial start of summer nightlife season. \n

SUMMARY:Mike Tramp of White Lion at Wolf Den
DESCRIPTION:Mike Tramp of White Lion at Wolf Den brings classic hard rock energy to Mohegan Sun on Friday\, May 15\, giving southeastern Connecticut fans a rare chance to experience one of the signature voices of ‘80s melodic rock in an intimate setting. Best known as the frontman of White Lion\, Mike Tramp helped shape the soundtrack of the MTV era with songs like “Wait\,” “Little Fighter\,” and the power ballad “When the Children Cry.” In the smaller confines of the Wolf Den\, those arena-sized songs land differently\, louder\, closer\, and more personal than they ever could in a stadium. \nInside the Wolf Den\, the atmosphere tends to feel part concert venue and part late-night rock club\, especially when longtime fans start filling the room early. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, and regulars know the line begins forming well before showtime for recognizable legacy acts. The non-smoking venue has become one of the casino’s most reliable spots for live music\, giving audiences an up-close experience that feels surprisingly intimate compared to the larger entertainment spaces throughout the property. There’s a certain nostalgia in the air when acts tied to classic rock radio step onto that stage\, and this show will likely lean heavily into it. \nMike Tramp’s recent performances have blended storytelling\, stripped-down emotion\, and the kind of soaring choruses that defined an entire generation of rock music. For fans who grew up with late-night videos on MTV or road trips soundtracked by power ballads and guitar solos\, this show taps directly into that feeling. The concert begins at 8 p.m. at the Wolf Den inside Mohegan Sun. Guests must be 21 or older\, and seating is limited. \n

SUMMARY:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse brings the Emmy-nominated comedian’s fearless storytelling and razor-sharp sarcasm to Mohegan Sun for four performances from May 14 through 16. Known for comedy that pulls directly from marriage\, motherhood\, family chaos\, and everyday frustration\, Pescatelli has built a career on saying the things other people are usually too polite to admit out loud. Her stand-up lands somewhere between a brutally honest family therapy session and a hilarious late-night rant\, delivered with the timing and confidence of a veteran comic who knows exactly how to work a room. \nTammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse arrives after decades of success across television\, streaming\, and live touring. She first broke out nationally as a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” before winning Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown” and releasing acclaimed specials\, including “Finding the Funny” and “The Way After School Special.” Her humor often draws from her upbringing in a large Italian-American family\, creating stories that feel loud\, personal\, and deeply relatable\, whether audiences grew up in the same kind of household or not. Fans may also recognize her from the WE TV series “A Stand-Up Mother” or her recent appearance in Netflix’s 2025 comedy-drama “Nonnas” alongside Vince Vaughn. \nComix Roadhouse gives Pescatelli the perfect setting for her style of comedy because the venue thrives on close-up interaction and energetic crowds. The room tends to feel more like a packed comedy club than a casino showroom\, which plays directly into her conversational\, fast-moving delivery. Expect stories about family dysfunction\, modern life\, relationships\, aging\, and all the little irritations people secretly love hearing turned into punchlines. For comedy fans looking for a weekend show with big laughs and zero filter\, these performances should deliver exactly that. \nShowtimes\n\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nFriday\, May 15\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 6:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\n\n

SUMMARY:Anthony Rodia at Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Rodia at Mohegan Sun is bringing his rapid-fire Italian-American family comedy and viral internet energy to the Cabaret Theatre for two nights of stand-up on May 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. Known for turning everyday frustrations into full-blown comedy explosions\, Rodia has built a loyal following by mixing sharp storytelling with the kind of loud\, brutally honest family dynamics that instantly feel familiar to audiences. Inside the more intimate Cabaret setting\, fans can expect a performance that feels personal\, chaotic\, and nonstop funny from the moment he hits the stage. \nAnthony Rodia at the Mohegan Sun arrives during a career surge that has transformed the former luxury car dealership finance manager into one of the most recognizable touring comedians in the country. Since returning to stand-up full time in 2019\, Rodia has exploded online with more than 900\,000 social media followers and millions of YouTube views. His “Road Rage Wednesday” videos became a breakout hit during quarantine\, while recurring characters like Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia turned into fan-favorite personalities that helped define his style of “off the boat” comedy. The humor comes fast and loud\, packed with observations about marriage\, parenting\, family gatherings\, traffic\, and the small annoyances that somehow become major life events. \nThe Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun feels like the perfect fit for Rodia’s style because the room allows audiences to fully feed into the rhythm of his performance. There is a rowdy familiarity to his shows\, almost like sitting in the middle of an over-the-top family dinner where every story spirals into something bigger and funnier than expected. Between his sold-out Road Rage Tour dates\, podcast appearances\, and growing national profile\, these performances are likely to draw a packed crowd ready for a night fueled by loud laughs\, relatable stories\, and the kind of comedy that leaves people repeating jokes all the way home. \n

SUMMARY:Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill at Ivoryton Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill at Ivoryton Playhouse brings the music\, heartbreak\, and haunting presence of Billie Holiday to the stage in a powerful production of the Tony Award-winning play set during one of the singer’s final performances in 1959. Blending live music with intimate storytelling\, the production recreates the atmosphere of a small Philadelphia nightclub while exploring the life and emotional weight carried by one of jazz’s most influential voices. \nThe show unfolds as Holiday performs a selection of her most iconic songs\, including “Strange Fruit” and “God Bless the Child\,” weaving memories\, humor\, pain\, and vulnerability between performances. Rather than presenting a traditional biography\, the play places audiences directly inside the emotional atmosphere of a late-career Billie Holiday concert\, where the music and the personal struggles behind it become inseparable. The result feels less like a history lesson and more like witnessing a legend trying to hold herself together under the spotlight. \nKnown for staging intimate productions inside one of Connecticut’s most beloved historic theaters\, Ivoryton Playhouse provides the perfect setting for a story built around closeness\, mood\, and live performance. For theatergoers\, jazz fans\, and anyone drawn to stories about artists fighting through personal darkness\, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill offers an emotionally charged night that lingers long after the final song ends. \n

SUMMARY:Dave Attell
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This show is 18+. \nDave Attell is one of the most respected and relentlessly funny stand-ups working today\, and 2024 only added to that reputation. His latest Netflix special\, *HOT CROSS BUNS*\, premiered in March to strong viewership and sharp reviews\, reminding fans exactly why he’s long been considered a comedian’s comedian. \nHe first broke through as the host of *INSOMNIAC WITH DAVE ATTELL* on Comedy Central\, a late-night staple that turned him into a cult favorite. Since then\, he’s popped up just about everywhere—*BUMPING MICS* with Jeff Ross on Netflix\, HBO’s *CRASHING* with Pete Holmes\, and Hulu’s *LIFE & BETH* alongside Amy Schumer\, Michael Rapaport\, and Michael Cera. \nHis own projects\, including *DAVE’S OLD PORN*\, *DAVE ATTELL’S COMEDY UNDERGROUND*\, and the special *ROAD WORK* (now streaming on Paramount+)\, all showcase the same thing: a sharp\, unfiltered voice that cuts right through the noise. \nOn the film side\, Attell has appeared in *POOTIE TANG*\, *FUNNY PEOPLE*\, *SCARY MOVIE 4*\, *LOS ENCHILADAS*\, and TRAINWRECK and I FEEL PRETTY with Amy Schumer. His TV credits stretch across everything from *THE SIMPSONS* and *BOB’S BURGERS* to *ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT*\, *LOUIE*\, and *EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND*. \nEntertainment Weekly once named him one of the “25 Funniest People in America\,” and he’s been backing that up ever since. When he’s not on tour\, you’ll usually find him doing what he does best—owning the room at the Comedy Cellar\, where he remains a fixture. \nNext up\, Attell appears in the feature *IS THIS THING ON?*\, starring Will Arnett and directed by Bradley Cooper.

SUMMARY:Glow Nights in May at TreeTrails Adventures
DESCRIPTION:Glow Nights in May brings a completely different atmosphere to TreeTrails Adventures Mystic\, turning the aerial adventure park into a glowing nighttime playground every Friday evening throughout May. Running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.\, the experience transforms the wooded climbing courses into a colorful mix of lights\, music\, and movement as the sun goes down over Mystic. Instead of the usual daytime ropes-course vibe\, the park takes on the feeling of an outdoor nighttime festival tucked into the trees. \nGlow Nights in May mixes adventure with a party-like atmosphere\, complete with glow bracelets\, glowing necklaces\, music\, and illuminated climbing trails suspended high above the forest floor. Guests can move through rope bridges\, zip lines\, and aerial obstacles while surrounded by shifting lights that make the entire park feel almost dreamlike after dark. The experience leans heavily into the fun of summer nights arriving early\, blending adrenaline and playful energy in a way that feels especially geared toward groups of friends\, couples\, teens\, and adventurous families looking for something different to do on a Friday night. \nThe event has become one of TreeTrails’ most popular seasonal experiences\, especially as warmer weather returns to the Connecticut shoreline region.

Between the music drifting through the trees\, the glowing equipment\, and the excitement of climbing through the forest at night\, the event delivers the kind of memorable outdoor experience that feels closer to an adventure attraction than a traditional ropes course. \n
