Adventure Theatre, the children's theater based in Maryland's Glen Echo National Park, recently launched an original adaptation of Jim Davis' long-running Garfield comic strip. The path to creating a new work for younger kids can be bumpy and winding. Arts Desk interviewed some of the principals to find out how the show came about.
WEDNESDAY 8/5/15: JOHN FLOOD #1 Signing event with JUSTIN JORDAN (Luther Strode, Spread)
Click here for the event info on FACEBOOK
We're HUGE fans of writer Justin Jordan and his work on series like DEEP STATE, STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE, DARK GODS, and of course, the Image series, SPREAD, so when we had the opportunity to bring Justin in to launch his new series, JOHN FLOOD, we didn't just jump at it - we dove at it!
JOHN FLOOD is a must-read for fans of John Constantine Hellblazer, and series like the DRESDEN FILES and BLACKLIST, featuring a very cool take on the classic detective story with a very metaphysical twist.

Congressman Lewis is writing a series of comic books called "March," showing historic moments in the struggle for civil rights. Though Lewis was beaten and arrested many times as a young man during the civil rights movement, he still believes change can come through peaceful protests. That's the message he's hoping the comic books will get across to children. Jan Crawford reports.

We have experienced a few too many logistical issues with our August 16th date that we are not able to overcome. Unfortunately, we will need to CANCEL the August 16th Leesburg show.
We do hope to have these issues resolved very soon. It does not look like we will be able to schedule any additional Leesburg shows in 2015.
Apologies for any issues this may cause. We hope to reach out very soon regarding dates in 2016.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to a full schedule in 2016!
