Water Damage Means Early Exit for Smokey Joe's

Looks like Bethesda Theater's production of Smokey Joe's Cafe won't "Keep On Rollin'" into May.

The theater announced today that the remainder of the run has been canceled due to water damage at the theater. A broken water pipe caused extensive damage to the theater on Friday, and the production is not able to be moved to a new venue on such short notice. The show had been scheduled to run through May 11.

We weren't wowed by the show itself, but we hate to see problems emerge for the new theater, which has been a nice addition to the scene since it opened in October. Here's hoping the repairs go smoothly.
