AEROWINGS Capturing the Essence of Aerosmith performs on Friday, October 9th at 8:00pm. Get ready for a night of pure rock and roll energy as Aerowings takes the stage to celebrate the legendary music of Aerosmith. Hailing from Los Angeles and led by powerhouse vocalist Paulie Z, this band isn’t about imitation—it’s about passion, power, and delivering the ultimate Aerosmith experience.

From the soaring vocals of “Dream On” to the swagger of “Walk This Way” and the high-octane energy of “Dude Looks Like a Lady,” Aerowings channels the very spirit of Aerosmith’s iconic sound and larger-than-life stage presence. Every riff, every scream, and every groove is brought to life with explosive energy and masterful musicianship that will have the crowd on their feet all night long.

The Z Street Band takes over on Saturday, October 10 at 8:00pm. They're bringing the spirit, sound, and soul of Bruce Springsteen to the stage in a powerhouse tribute that captures the magic of “The Boss.” Fronted by dynamic vocalist Paulie Z and backed by a lineup of world-class musicians, this Los Angeles-based band delivers the timeless energy and unforgettable anthems that made Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band one of rock’s greatest legends.

From fist-pumping classics like Born to Run and Glory Days to heartfelt ballads like Thunder Road and Dancing in the Dark, every performance is packed with passion, grit, and pure rock-and-roll electricity. This is not an impersonation—it’s a celebration, performed by musicians who live and breathe Springsteen’s music.

Tickets are $35 and available for purchase online.

An Afternoon with The Duprees closes out the weekend on Sunday, October 11th at 2:00pm. They are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. They have made a career out of giving new life to the big band standards and contemporary hits. If you take the Glenn Miller arrangements of the 1940’s along with the tunes of Joni James, Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Nat King Cole, (just to name a few) and the vocal harmonies of Tom Petillo, Jimmy Spinelli and Shawn Stevens put them together, you have the sound of The Duprees.

The group, originally from Jersey City, New Jersey, was discovered by George Paxton, the president of Coed Records and former big band leader from the 1940’s. Impressed with THE DUPREES’s smooth vocal quality, he had them record Jo Stafford’s 1950’s ballad “You Belong To Me” with a Big Band arrangement. It was an instant national hit and the group’s first million seller.

Tickets are $35 and available for purchase online.

The Broadway Theatre of Pitman is located at 43 S Broadway in Pitman, New Jersey.

State Theatre New Jersey
New Brunswick, NJ

Absolutely unique and utterly original, this fearless, powerful company reigns from France, Algeria, and beyond. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, the dancers defy gravity. Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel, What The Day Owes To The Night traces Koubi’s own personal lineage as a French-Algerian choreographer. After learning about his family’s Algerian roots, Koubi returned to the country of his ancestors to collaborate with streetdance performers from across the Mediterranean basin. What emerged is “a creation of poetic beauty” (The New York Times), a meditative yet strikingly athletic work about the ties that bind us.
