Virginia is a hub of cultural activities, and with big acts performing in venues all over the state, we’re lucky that we’re never far from superb music, theatre, dance, and more. If you’ve never been to Wolf Trap, it’s time to mark your calendar for a road trip you won’t forget. Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, located in the D.C. enclave of Vienna, Virginia, combines world-class performances of every genre with the majestic beauty of over 100 acres of scenic nature.
Browse the summer schedule here, or book your tickets now for one of my annual favorites – the award-winning NPR showcase ‘Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me.’ This humorous skit pits comedians, journalists, and celebrity guests against each other in a comedic current events quiz show. Hosted by author and playwright Peter Sagal and featuring Bill Kurtis, ‘Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me’ is well worth the short drive out of RVA.
Tickets are available for $45; the show starts at 8:00 p.m. on August 29 and 30.
