Executive Director Scott Harris talks about upcoming programs at the James Monroe Museum and Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont.   We discuss Art After Hours, Sketchy History, History Trivia and Cars and Coffee.   Also, bringing Eliza home.

Director Penny Ayn Maas, Adrianne Hick (Diana) and Andrew Foote (Dan) join Patrick A'Hearn to talk about "Next to Normal," July 2nd thru August 3.   The musical explores a family's struggle with the effects, impact and treatment of mental illness.

The hope is this production will help prompt discussions to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Additionally, the portrayal of therapy, medication, and the struggle for stability provides insights and encourages viewers to reflect on their own mental health and seek support if needed.  riversidedt.com
