BEST OF 2009

Best Concert Series: Millennium Stage

Best Concert Series, Kennedy Center, Millenium Stage
FREE. That's the word Millennium Stage has used to win the hearts of theater, music and dance fans across the region. Well, that and a few other things. Garth Ross, the Kennedy Center's director of Performing Arts for Everyone, says the 12-year-old program is a unique viewing experience. "There's a lot of cross-pollination between audience members who come just because they enjoy performances and audience members who come to see a specific act, more so than in a club or other venue," he says. There's also that die-hard dedication: Millennium Stage has a performance every night, 365 days a year.

Brush With Fame: Millennium Stage had a cameo in the Russell Crowe movie "State of Play."
