Glimpses of the Moon, a Jazz Age musical based on a novel by Edith Wharton. The story follows the journey of Nick and Susy, who, popular but penniless, devise the ultimate fundraising scheme: to marry and live off the wedding presents while they continue to look for suitable millionaires to marry. The plan works perfectly—until they fall in love. This new romantic musical portrays the jazzy whirl of New York society in 1922, from champagne soaked dinner parties to luxurious vacation cottages to New York’s elegant hotels.” Featuring Natascia Diaz, Stephen Schmidt. Gia Mora, Matt Anderson and Lauren Williams. At MetroStage, 1201 No. Royal St, Alexandria, VA.
