Experience Wolf Trap

Wolf Trap is a fine arts mecca that is known for hosting some of the best entertainment in the Northern Virginia region.  Its calendar is filled with a host of acts from dancing to some of the world's most famous musicians.   There schedule is complete with options for the kids, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa.  This area is one of the best places to visit if you are from out of town and it is in a great location. Wolf Trap logo One of the neatest details about this place is that it is an amphitheater.  You and your family can enjoy in-house seats or take a picnic and enjoy the show from the lawn.  This is especially fun in those warm summer days.  I had a chance to go to a Gladys Knight concert at Wolf Trap and it was one of the best experience's I have ever had in my life.  The crowd was pumped and I honestly thought that the crickets were right in tune with her that night.  The crowd was electric and it was so nice to have the breeze of the night air in the midst of pumped up concert. There amazing acts coming up this spring and summer.  There are some shows you definitely will not want to miss.  The latest act to come to Wolf Trap is Pursuit of Radical Rhapsody.  There are also great children's programs.  This is a great treasure in Northern Virginia and if you get a chance to visit, you'll see why.

Summer season at Wolf Trap a fun, eclectic line-up

If you like Broadway shows, but can’t afford the tickets. Want a night at the symphony but can’t seem to make the time. Or are ready to revisit those rock and roll songs from your youth, make a date with Wolf Trap this summer. The summer concert season at Wolf Trap’s Filene Center kicks off Memorial Day weekend with an eclectic mix of comedy, concerts and symphonies. Where else can you see The Monkees (yes, those Monkees) on a Sunday night and enjoy the Mormon Tabernacle Choir the following Wednesday? Huey Lewis and the News will slip in right after the Aspen Sante Fe Ballet but before “Fiddler on the Roof.” Located between the Dulles Toll Road and Leesburg Pike/Rte. 7 in Vienna, Wolf Trap’s Filene Center will host more than 90 performances from late May through mid-September. The amphitheater nestled in the National Park for the Performing Arts, seats 7,028 including more than 3,000 lawn seats. This year’s line-up includes perennial favorites Garrison Keillor (of Prairie Home Companion fame), Bill Cosby, The Beach Boys and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Broadway visits Wolf Trap with performances of “Sweeney Todd,” “Mama Mia” and Fiddler. Take a step back in time with concerts by The Go-Go’s, Peter Frampton, The Temptations, The Four Tops and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Symphony lovers will enjoy performances by the National Symphony Orchestra with “Tcheers to Tchaikovsky,” and “Three Broadway Divas.” Tickets are now on sale for many shows. (Too many to list here) For a full list of the summer concert series and ticket availability, see wolftrap.org. Make plans for a great night (or two) under the stars or, as Wolf Trap says, “Where the arts come out to play.”
