Experience a showcase of some of Arlington’s cultural gems in the “Spotlight Series,” the centerpiece of an extended outdoor concert season at Lubber Run Amphitheater. The series runs from Friday, Sept. 10 through Friday, Oct. 1. Unlike the traditional summer series, the schedule is designed so most ensembles will be in residence at the amphitheater throughout a particular weekend.
Arlington’s multiple Helen Hayes Award-winning Synetic Theater kicks things off with “Shhhhhhhakespeare Revue” (Friday and Saturday, Sept. 10-11 at 7:30 p.m.) and a special 11 a.m. family performance of “The Miraculous Magical Balloon” (Saturday, Sept. 11). Rounding out the opening weekend is The Arlington Philharmonic with a one-night-only presentation of their popular “Pops For Pets” (Sunday, Sept. 12, at 4 p.m.).
