2 Shows Of 'Paddington Gets In A Jam' Coming To The Alden In McLean

MCLEAN, VA — The Alden Theatre at the McLean Community Center is hosting two performances of Jonathan Rockefeller Productions’ “Paddington Gets in a Jam” on Saturday, Feb. 25.

“Paddington Gets in a Jam” debuted in New York City in 2019 and is a New York Times Critic’s pick. The family-friendly comedy has gone on to play internationally and is touring the United States.

In the show, while making his favorite marmalade jam, Paddington, children literature’s accident-prone bear, runs out of sugar and goes next door to borrow some from Mr. Curry. The usually grumpy Mr. Curry is even more short-tempered as he is preparing for a visit from his great aunt, who is a stickler for tidiness.

Paddington volunteers to help him with his chores, but his good intentions end up leading to chaos. Will Paddington be able to fix everything before Mr. Curry and his great aunt arrive home?

The two shows at The Alden will be at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Feb. 25. Admission tickets are $30 ($20 for McLean Community Center district residents) and $27 for seniors and students. Visit The Alden's website to purchase tickets.

The Alden Theatre is located at 1234 Ingleside Ave., inside the McLean Community Center.
