This Valentine’s Day, why not try something a little unusual? Skip the candlelit dinner and the romantic walk on the promenade in lieu of less traditional events. You can still take your loved one by the hand and gaze deeply into his or her eyes, but this time, let your passions ignite over more stimulating fare. These are just some of the many “non-Valentine” events you can catch going on in the MidAtlantic on February 14th.
Washington, DC
The Mansaku-no-Kai Kyogen Company
Japanese comedy and drama company featured this year as part of the Kennedy Center’s Japan Culture + Hyper Culture Series. On the 14th, the company will perform ”The Kyogen of Errors. Tickets are $40, and the show starts at 7:30pm in the Terrace Theater.
Who doesn’t remember the joy of auditioning for the high school play? Or getting the lead in a major production? Relive the joys of high school extra-curricular activity with a ticket to Walt Disney’s hot, family-friendly feature. When I checked, tickets on StubHub! were available starting at $89 for a balcony seat. You might still be able to find cheaper tickets elsewhere, though, if you hurry. The show starts at 7:30pm at the National Theater.
Philadelphia, PA
Warm up to a little ice on Valentines Day in Philadelphia with a ticket to see the Philadelphia Flyers in action. The Flyers are Philadelphia’s official ice hockey team, and they will play on the 14th at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. The game starts at 7pm against Tampa Bay.
Angels and Airwaves
Take in a concert at the Electric Factory with the rock band Angels and Airways. They’re a pretty decent band, and they’ve got a pretty decent music video up on YouTube. Check them out live on the 14th at 8:30pm. Tickets sales start at $60.
Richmond, Virginia
Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus
Yes, Virginia is for lovers, and so I would be remiss if I did not let you in on one or two of the happenings here. Fortunately for us, the circus is in town. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus will perform on the 14th at the Richmond Coliseum at 10:30am. Note that this a morning show. Take the day off and have a little fun. Check the web for ticket prices.
Richmond Boat Show
The Richmond Boat Show held at the Richmond Speedway Complex will be around from February 14th to the 17th. Even if you can’t make it out on Valentine’s Day, be sure stop by at least some time later that week.
