The Arlington Players: Waiting for the Host
When: March 6-13
Where: Live streamed online
As the pandemic begins and life shuts down, the rector of a small church convenes a handful of parishioners via video conference to put on a “passion play.” Chaos ensues when the actors bicker, technology confuses the process and the socially distant endeavor starts to fall apart. Yet, bitten by the acting bug and motivated to recreate Biblical stories in new ways, the group comes together with the help of an unexpected guest in this live streamed “play within a play” by Marc Palmieri. Tickets $8.50.
Ambient Light
When: Through March 26
Where: Gallery Underground, 2100 Crystal Drive, Arlington
Studio 10 is a collaborative of five local artists—Elisabeth Hudgins, Kat Jamieson, Linda Maldonado, Elise Ritter and Deborah Taylor. Their watercolor, oil, acrylic, collage and ink pieces in this exhibit are inspired by the light—real or imagined—that surrounds us each day. Admission is free.
