Johnny Angel & The Halos is a hometown band with national stature that has been playing hits from the '50's and '60s to western Pennsylvania audiences for nearly 40 years. The band performs throughout the tri-state region and enjoys the intimacy of the Kean. "One of my favorite gigs is to play the intimate theatres," says Johnny Angel, lead singer who also plays drums and percussion. "We can interact with the audience - they are seated right up to the stage. It allows me to zero in on their emotions and give the audience what they want to hear." The Kean Theatre's intimate 350-seat setting guarantees each audience member the chance to see the performers up close.

Other performances include The Grass Roots on June 18, Jimmy Beaumont & The Skyliners on June 25, The Fabulous Hubcaps on July 9, The Fantasys on Aug. 13 and Pure Gold on Aug. 27.

The Kean Theatre is open to the public and has built a reputation for its convenient location, free parking, quality entertainment and elegant setting. The theatre is operated by St. Barnabas Charities, the fund-raising arm of St. Barnabas Health System. The Health System also includes St. Barnabas Nursing Home, Valencia Woods at St. Barnabas, The Arbors at St. Barnabas, The Village at St. Barnabas, The Woodlands at St. Barnabas, The Washington Place at St. Barnabas, and St. Barnabas Medical Center.
