Turn back the clock to the golden age of arena rock as Asia brings its iconic 1980s sound to the stage. Formed in London in 1981, the English rock supergroup exploded onto the scene with their 1982 self-titled debut—the year’s biggest album in the U.S.—fueled by soaring synths, towering guitars and radio anthems that defined a generation. Their signature hit, “Heat of the Moment,” became an instant classic, climbing to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and remains one of the most recognizable songs of the decade.

Fronted by powerhouse vocalist and bassist John Payne, who joined the band in 1992, Asia entered a new era that carried the band’s melodic rock legacy across the globe. Over the next 15 years, Payne led extensive international tours celebrating the band’s beloved classics while introducing new material, releasing seven studio albums along with multiple live recordings.

Expect a night packed with shimmering keyboards, driving rhythms and the larger-than-life sound that defined ‘80s rock radio—a nostalgic journey back to the days of mixtapes, arena lights and unforgettable hooks. Whether you grew up with Asia or are discovering them for the first time, this is pure retro rock energy at full volume.

The Gilbert Players celebrate movie history with The Shark is Broken.

The historic first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed – but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with dueling co-stars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers and short circuits of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of the play’s co-author Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble and pray for an end to the film shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.

April 9 + 10 @ 7 pm
April 11 @ 2 pm
