The Adventure Theatre in Rockville will have its first in person show since before the pandemic on July 10 for a preview and July 11 for its opening night of Fairy Tales in the Sun, according to their website. This performance will include two one-act plays by DMV area playwrights: The Flood in the Future by Lyra Yang and From Cinders to Ella by Michelle Lynch.
