Curtain Closings

Summer vacation is nearing its end–DCPS is back in session in just over a week–and so are the runs of some of the season’s most popular childrens plays.  If you’re hoping to treat the kids to some theater before school starts again, you can still catch a few shows before the curtains close.  Here are a few performances on the way out with seats still available.

How I Became a Pirate at Imagination Stage will have its final performances tomorrow, August 14.  There are still a few seats available for the 11am, 1:30pm, and 4pm shows.  Get your tickets here.

Also at Imagination Stage, Pirates! A Boy at Sea will take the stage for the last time on August 15.  Seats remain for the Sunday shows at 1:30pm and 4pm. Get tickets here.

Mary Poppins will be taking an umbrella ride into the sunset after August 22.  Tickets are still available for most shows, though availability is limited.  To see what is left and reserve seats, go here.

At Wolf Trap, the cast of Legally Blonde The Musical will sing their final notes this weekend at Sunday’s 8pm show.  You can still get tickets for all of the remaining shows, which take place tonight at 8pm, tomorrow at 2pm and 8pm, and on Sunday at 2pm and 8pm.  Go here for tickets.

With every curtain close, there is an opening on the way.  Look for a post on upcoming theatre performances soon!

Deal Me In!

How about starting off the week with a deal or three? Some great offers are currently available for local entertainment, sports, and treats!

Goldstar has a couple of discounts on family fun. You can get reduced-price tickets to see Mary Poppins at the Kennedy Center. These are not the cheap seats, but the deal makes a big difference—tickets normally priced from $85-$90 are $51-$54 at select times.

If you’re looking for something with more intrigue and interaction, see Goldstar’s Interational Spy Museum deal: Admission half off on most weekdays—get $18 tickets for $9!

For a sports deal, check out Groupon’s lastest offer on tickets to see the Washington Nationals vs. the Arizona Diamonbacks on Friday, August 13, or Saturday, August 14. For $20 you can get seats worth $30 or $36, depending on which date you go. Get in on this offer today only.

Sweetening the discount pot, Certifikid has a deal on cupcakes from The Last Crumb in Gaithersburg. For $30, you can get three dozen gourmet cupcakes—that’s 50% off the regular price. If you have something to celebrate in the next six months or you just really like cupcakes, that’s a fantastic offer! Delivery is available at an additional cost.
