While we await the construction of its Old Town North location, MetroStage invites you to step into the world of Sammy Davis, Jr. and celebrate his enduring legacy in “Beyond the Lights” at The Lyceum the evening of Tuesday, February 27, 2024.

Experience the unparalleled impact on American culture of this iconic artist. Songs, narration, and music that embody the magic of his personal journey. Visual story-telling of the man and his music features beloved classics like I Gotta Be Me, What Kind of Fool Am I, Who Can I Turn To, Candyman and many more. Also discover the women who played a significant role in the life of Sammy Davis, Jr. (Valerie A. Higgs, music director and piano; Steve Novosel, bass; Greg Holloway, percussion)

“The Lyceum has been a wonderful performing space while we are in between theatres, waiting for our remarkable new theatre to be completed. Stay posted for future monthly cabarets, concerts and readings” said Carolyn Griffin, MetroStage Producing Artistic Director.

Pencil in the tentative date of Tuesday, March 5, 2024 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm for an online discussion of the proposed new Monumental Arena.

As you’ve previously read in this space, OTNA is particularly interested in the arena’s potential impacts on Old Town North. Along with our partners, NOTICe and the Old Town North Community Partnership, OTNA is working to organize an online discussion of the proposal’s impacts specifically on OTN.

Two City of Alexandria staff and/or Council members will be in attendance, along with an opposition speaker.

Watch your email for an opportunity to register for the virtual meeting. Questions can be submitted in advance via a special email address created for the occasion.
