The Little Theater of Alexandria (LTA) is the oldest award-winning theater in the Washington Metropolitan area and is located at 600 Wolfe Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. It is one of the few community theaters in the entire country with its own building and a seven-show season.
It landed in its current and permanent home in the 1950s and its first production was in November 1961. The space was rented for $1 a year from the City of Alexandria until the 1970s when it was formally purchased. The LTA has come a long way since it was founded in 1934 as a small play-reading group.
I am fortunate enough to have a friend who volunteers in the carpenter's shop at LTA. He graciously donated two excellent tickets (third row center!) for a Saturday evening show in May for my April 30 fundraiser!
The Odd Couple - The Female Version, written by Neil Simon and directed by Joanna Henry, is a comedy classic with a twist! According to LTA, "Unger and Madison are at it again -- Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is -- in Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic. Come watch this time-honored comedy reinvented from a different perspective as the ladies take over the juicy roles of the famously mismatched couple to give this well-known play a whole new life. Watch and laugh as this “odd couple” learn that friendship may have its ups and downs but in the end it overpowers all."
Who doesn't love live theater? Who doesn't love Old Town Alexandria?
Put them together with dinner reservations and I see a fantastic date night (or girls night) in store!
