Local Live Theater This Weekend and Next

We are certainly fortunate in the Potomac area to have several very good local theater companies. I have the privilege of being the photographer for two of them: the Victorian Lyric Opera (VLOC) and the Potomac Theatre Company (PTC). Both companies are performing this weekend and next weekend.



VLOC is performing Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", which is a fun spoof through the world of Victorian poets and the swooning maidens attracted to them. Here is the Wikipedia article on Patience. The show has typical G&S bubbling music and witty dialog and the VLOC performance is fantastic. Find out more and order tickets here.


PTC is performing "On Golden Pond", an exploration of the sometimes tense relationships between three generation of a family. Here is the Wikipedia description of On Golden Pond. The Potomac Almanac ran a story on this production this week (along with my photographs of the cast). If you missed it, here is the link: Potomac Almanac story about On Golden Pond. Reservations at 301-299-8571.

I'll be the lighting operator for all the performances of On Golden Pond except the June 22 matinee (I'll be at the performance of Patience that day). Stop by the tech booth at the back of the theater to say hello to me after the show.
