What to do and see in Bethesda, Maryland (MD): The Best Concerts & Shows
Bethesda is an unincorporated, census-designated place in southern Montgomery County, Maryland, United States, located just northwest of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. It takes its name from a local church, the Bethesda Meeting House (1820, rebuilt 1849), which in turn took its name from Jerusalem's Pool of Bethesda. In Aramaic, ܒܝܬ ܚܣܕܐ beth ḥesda means "House of Mercy" and in Hebrew, בית חסד "beit ḥesed" means "House of Kindness". The National Institutes of Health main campus and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center are in Bethesda, as are a number of corporate and government headquarters.

We've subscribed to the National Philharmonic at Strathmore for years. The music director typically selects the classics (example: on Saturday, it was all Mozart, including my favorite, the "Jupiter"), which always keeps me coming back. Although we previously had a Kennedy Center subscription, logistics made it difficult. It required two trains and a 20 minute walk from the Metro station. Strathmore is conveniently located just off the Beltway, making it only a 35 minute drive. Glorious music in a good location.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening when friends invited us to see “The Legend of Georgia McBride” at the Roundhouse Theatre. With about 400 seats, it’s hard to imagine a bad seat at the theatre, and the fully-equipped and modern stage does justice to Broadway productions, such as In the Heights and Angels in America. High quality productions, cozy, comfortable, convenient, and reasonable. Highly recommended. Our show was excellent and the seats ideal – just a few rows from the stage. The production included a rotating stage with alternating sets, lights, and showers of confetti. Some of the acting was particularly good, the rest was very good. The seats were comfortable, and the sound system was first class. The season normally includes six modern shows, and these season’s other shows were: “In The Heights” by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes, “I'll Get You Back Again” by Sarah Gancher, “The Book of Will” by Lauren Gunderson, “Handbagged” by Moira Buffini, and "’Master Harold’ ...and the Boys” by Athol Fugard. The location can’t be beat, just a block off Wisconsin Avenue, on East-West Highway, and there is ample public parking across the street. We didn’t have time before the show, which had no intermission, so we didn’t get a chance to check out the bar but, from the glance we were able to take on the way in, it seemed just about right. Can’t wait for the next season to begin!
