What’s Booming: InLight-en Yourself with a Few Fifths
Lights, a tipsy festival, and plenty of music
InLight-en yourself with a few fifths: From sips of great bourbons to a fifth of Beethoven. From tasty vodka to the singing Taters. Plus InLight brightens up Richmond’s waterfront.

Beethoven’s Fifth

No, it’s not yet another sequel featuring that loveable St. Bernard. This is the real thing – the world’s most famous symphony – performed by the Richmond Symphony under Music Director Valentia Peleggi.
Music Theatre International’s All Together Now!
Sunday, Nov. 14 and Monday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at The Cultural Arts Center – Glen Allen
You’ll leave the theater whistling your favorite Broadway tunes, or, at least, the favorite tunes of the Henrico Theater Company’s performers. There’s a little of everything from Beauty and the Beast to Little Shop of Horrors.
The Taters
Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Firehouse Theatre Project
No offense, Ludwig, but if you prefer words with your music and if your tastes lean towards American Pop, R&B and Rock ’n’ Roll, then join The Taters for an eclectic evening of the music that used to fill your AM dial.
