The Coffee With Conscience Concert Series concludes its 13th season with our usual "Ice Cream Social" and by proudly presenting Lipbone Redding and his band at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 18 at 1 East Broad Street. Lipbone Redding is an inventive voicestrumentalist and southern gentleman, who creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. Though his songs stand alone, his entire show is greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting (AKA THE LIP-BONE*), booming mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics.

Westfield's Hedgehog & Feather Theatre Company presents 'The Secret Garden' - Spring Version Mother's Day weekend
When recently orphaned Mary Lennox (Edison School 8th grader Emmanuelle Nadeau) is sent to England to live with her uncle Archibald Craven (Ty Jacobs of Millburn), Mary discovers a garden, locked and neglected, and wonders how she can find the key to get into it.

Show director Sara Hedgepeth explains how this show came to be. “The first I knew of 'The Secret Garden' was as an adult seeing the original Broadway version soon after opening night.
