Quirky Mystery "Underneath the Lintel" Unfolds on Arts Barn Stage in Kentlands

Underneath the Lintel

The Arts Barn Theatre presents Paul Morella in "Underneath the Lintel," a one-man show by Glen Berger. The play runs March 2 through 18, 2012, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Admission is $24, $22 for City residents. This show contains adult language and is appropriate for those 12 and older, with parental guidance suggested.

Morella stars as the "Librarian," the sole character in Berger's "Underneath the Lintel," who finds a guidebook 113 years overdue anonymously deposited in the overnight return box. It is this discovery, along with a string of clues, which sets the main character off on an around-the-world journey to find the book’s tardy borrower. Through his travels, the Librarian unravels a mystery that brings him to the realization of a world much larger than he ever expected.

The Los Angeles Times says, "Berger has shown a penchant for men obsessively investigating truths that blind them to more ordinary pursuits of happiness. This one-man show is no exception. It's a satisfying mix of intelligent writing and quirky humor in a package that isn't neatly wrapped up with pat answers."

The one man in this one-man performance is area actor Paul Morella, a multiple Helen Hayes award nominee whose 30 year career has included professional appearances in regional theatre, film, television, and radio. His local credits include leading roles at Arena Stage, Signature Theatre, Studio Theatre, Olney, Woolly Mammoth, Theatre J, Folger, and many others. He has presented two other one-person shows at the Arts Barn - A Passion For Justice and A Christmas Carol - both of which subsequently enjoyed extended runs at Olney Theatre. His film and television credits include The Pelican Brief, The Replacements, That Night, The Hunley and Diner, among others, and he has had recurring roles in The Wire, Homicide, The Corner, and The District. He has starred opposite Julie Harris and James Farentino in All My Sons, and Marsha Mason and Fred Thompson in The Best Man, both for LA Theatre Works.

The Arts Barn, Gaithersburg's premier cultural arts facility, is located at 311 Kent Square Road, Gaithersburg. For more information and tickets call 301-258-6394 or visit online at www.gaithersburgmd.gov/artsbarn.

Dolores and I always enjoy our visits to Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, PA. Current visitors will see and enjoy the annual Orchid Extravaganza and the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in the Conservatory.

The Conservatory at Longwood Gardens is a very inviting travel destination on cold winter days. Take you family, with cameras in hand, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Dahlias at Brookside Gardens - Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

Brookside Gardens is one of our favorite places to visit in Montgomery County, Maryland. Dolores and I like to attend the flower shows, the exhibits in the Conservatory and take walks through the gardens when the flowers are blooming.

If you live in the area and have not been to Brookside Gardens, now is the time to see and enjoy the Spring Exhibit that is now featured in the Conservatory. Admission is free and you will enjoy the experience. Brookside Gardens is located in the Wheaton Regional Park.

The photographs below were taken during the Dahlia Show sponsored by the National Capital Dahlia Society at Brookside Gardens.

Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments when you are out and about in your community or during your travels. Life is better when there are flowers to photograph.
