Let There Be Light

If you have ever attended a Thursday night concert or other event at the Rockville Town Square stage, you might have found the performers in the dark as sundown neared.
This past Tuesday the Gizmo Guys made a big deal about it. They commented about the City’s stage being very different from any other performance stage. It was very unique! For the first time ever, the audience was in more light than they were. Of course they were clowning around but it was difficult to see the ping pong balls and pencils by the end of the night.
So when I happened to run out to the pharmacy last night and decided to catch a couple of songs by the Blaggards, I couldn’t believe there were colored lights at the front and back of the stage. Although not very big, the different hues added a little bit of rock star quality. I wasn’t sure if the Blaggards had brought the lights or not, but upon inspection this morning, they were still in the pavilion.
If anyone can shed any additional light on the subject, then by all means do! In the meantime, Rockville Town Square is alive for the summer. Here’s our Ultimate Summer Guide for Rockville Town Center.

The stage lights were installed by the City of Rockville. City staff are currently working on a way for non-City groups to turn on the lights for evening performances. The lights should be available for non-City groups next week. Colleen McQuitty, City of Rockville Special Events Manager
