Dickens Parlour Theatre in Millville, Del., has taken its acts to Ocean City, Maryland. Summer nights at the Holiday Inn on 67th Street will feature ‘Dicken’s On The Road,’ a magic-comedy show for all ages. The shows are intimate, and not what one might expect, giving the audience plenty of chances to participate. “It’s truly a wow factor that you’re not expecting,” says Jason Gulshen, General Manager at the Holiday Inn, “It’s comedy, but it’s high-level magic.”
The theater is able to pull magicians that have performed at venues in Las Vegas and Atlantic City thanks to its founder, attorney and renowned magician Rich Bloch. Bloch opened Dickens Parlour Theatre in Delaware five years ago and the venue has won a slew of awards since, including Baltimore Magazine’s Best of the Beach, several Chamber of Commerce awards and a five star rating on Trip Advisor. Bloch and the theater have been featured in The Washington Post Magazine. General Manager of Dickens Parlour Theatre Cheryl DeBois refers to Bloch as “the Godfather of magic.” “He’s got an incredible reputation and a lot of awesome stories,” she said of the theater owner, who designed more than 80 magic effects and served as a magic advisor to Orson Welles.
The Delaware theater —described by DeBois as an “intimate Victorian parlor theater” — seats about 60 and is one of just two magic theaters in the country. It’s named after author Charles Dickens, who was an avid amateur magician. “The best magicians in the world want to perform here because there’s really only one other magic theater in the country,” DeBois said. “We’re putting little Delaware on the map.” Now, the same premier magicians will be in Ocean City, Maryland.
Dickens on the Road takes place every night from 6/28/17 through 8/29/17 at 7 p.m. in the conference room — now converted into a theater — at the Holiday Inn on 67th Street. Tickets cost $15 for adults and children 3 and younger are free! Also, guests of the Holiday Inn Oceanfront receive $5 off their tickets! Just check with the front desk. Tickets can be reserved by calling 410-524-1600 or visit www.ocmagicshow.com. Check the Web site for a full lineup of summer magicians.
Police Officers have one of the most hectic jobs, and an unfortunate side effect to that is they don’t always have an opportunity, or time, to speak with citizens about general questions or concerns they might have. Departments all over the country do their best to try and combat this disconnect between police and citizens, but it’s easier said than done. However, locally, right here in Ocean City, police are attempting to start a program that they feel will help fight this issue ...read more

Take it from a local: September is one of the best months to be in Ocean City. The air temperature is ideal, the water temperature is close to its highest point, and all of the shops, attractions, and restaurants are still open. That being said, often times Marylanders find that they can’t enjoy Ocean City in September because their kids have to go back to school in late August. Is this fair? No. Do you want that to change? Of course you do. Is there a way to change it? There most ...read more
