One of many perks of living in the D.C. area is the number of performance arts centers. The…read moreStrathmore is no exception. Making the trek from D.C. with a friend to hear Yotam Ottolenghi, a chef and food writer, speak was worth it. Here's why. 1) Space: The music center itself is massive with a hall that holds almost 2,000 people. The space also comes with a few bars and dining areas with a buffet and grab-n-go food. There are an art gallery and classrooms too. The restrooms are clean and spacious. 2) Location: It's very far from the city, but a free parking garage is nearby that connects to the music hall. Additionally, the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Station is right there too.

I was pleasantly surprised by this concert hall. It was beautiful and designed well. The seats were…read morea bit on the smaller side but it was angled well where you shouldn't have problems seeing the stage. The location is great and connected via walkway to the Metro parking lot (Go to Floor 4 directly for the walkway). Getting out of the parking lot is a bit harder, but not impossible. The bathroom facilities could be updated, but they are also strategically placed all over for intermissions. The photo is from the Promenade Right. Would I come here again? Yes if the event is right. Also, always eat before coming to an event. The food served here is way too expensive.

Mark Phillips and Ryan Phillips were both terrific. The one we voted for did indeed win, but they were both great! The Saturday we were there, there were two performances. We chose the 5pm one. It's a fast-paced show that kept us laughing, intrigued and highly entertained. A very fun, wonderful way to spend entertainment dollars in DC. Not a bad seat in the house! This is downstairs in the historic Mayflower Hotel, nice and close to the Farragut North Metro Stop. Definitely appropriate for all ages. Highly recommend!

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

If you want to donate you can do it on your own upfront. No loud announcements on who pay how much. The people are polite and treat you equal no matter how you look.

Please extend my greatest appreciation to the entirety of your team.

We first became aware of ATMTC through a Groupon offering at their location in Wintergreen Shopping Center in Rockville. In just a hour a week, they accomplished amazing things with my son who has a lot of difficulty paying attention and following directions. He danced his way through two different numbers and loved it. So, at his prompting, we signed him up for two weeks of muscical theater camp and hoped for the best. This is a professional group. They were well organized and were very capable of handling the "drama" that comes along with kids of this age group. I was amazed by what they were able to accomplish with the kids by the end of the two short weeks. Whether you think yor think your kids are on their way to a professional career or just for a hobby, I can't recommend their programs more. We are looking forward to following up camp with their team! Thank you for making it fun and caring about my son this summer.
