In Montgomery County, You Can See a Lot for a Little

This weekend, come out and bring the family to the various reasonably priced attractions in the D.C. area. Your biggest decision will be where to start. A good place would be the National Capital Trolley Museum. They’re sponsoring a commemoration of 50 years without trolley cars in the Capital. That is coupled with a celebration of a RETURN of trolley cars which will begin soon. You can see presentations at different times, and, for a small extra charge, even take a ride on a trolley car. Admission to the museum is only $4. For details call 301-384-6088, or visit www.dctrolley.org.

If you like live drama, you can go the Rockville Little Theatre at F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre. They are presenting their interpretation of “The Royal Family”, a play written in the late 1920’s by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman. It’s a spoof on the Barrymore family. If you’ve seen any of the old movies with these great dramatic/comic thespians, you’ll enjoy the parody. Tickets are a very reasonable price. For details call 240-314-8690, or visit www.rockvillemd.gov/theatre.

Another theatrical presentation will be presented by the Lumina Studio Theatre Group at the Round House Theatre in Silver Spring. They are performing “Tom Jones”, John O’Connor’s comic adaptation of Henry Fielding’s novel, “A HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING”. This tale about the antics of an 18th century youth in England, and is accompanied by music from John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera”. These tickets are also very reasonable. Call 301-565-2281, or visit www.brownpapertickets.com.

Perhaps music is your cup of tea. The Swedish National Youth Orchestra is being hosted at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda. Maestro Tonu Kaljuste will conduct music by Sergey Rachmaninov, Arvo Part, and August Soderman. Another feature will be a newly commissioned concerto, “Samsara”, by composer Tobias Brostrom, performed by violinist Hugo Ticciati and marimba player Johan Bridger. Tickets are a veritable steal. Call 301-581-5100, or visit http://www.strathmore.org/.

As you can see, there is something to entertain just about everyone in the Montgomery County area, even if you’re on a budget. Come out and see D.C.!
