An Evening With Rahsaan Patterson
2026-03-27 18:30 - 22:30, 2026-03-28 18:00 - 22:00 | Bethesda Theater, 7719 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD, 20814, United States
Music was Rahsaan Patterson’s destiny when he was named after jazz great Rahsaan Roland Kirk then as a child became a star on the television show Kids Incorporated appearing with future music stars Shanice and Fergie. Patterson began his music career behind the scenes writing songs for Brandy as well as session work as a backup singer for other well known artists. By the time he sought a record deal on his own, there was a near bidding war over him by record labels which MCA won and released Patterson’s self-titled debut in 1997. Featuring Patterson’s magnificent voice, the album was simultaneously retro and fresh the way Neo-Soul was always supposed to be. Patterson has an impressive range and control that few male vocalists can match from soaring falsetto to funky tenor-bass to operatic alto.
Patterson’s music made it to urban adult radio garnering a truly loyal following with the popular single “Where You Are” still a favorite at his performances. His sophomore album “Love in Stereo” arrived in 1999 with a much more up-tempo sound and some of the freshest vocal arrangements heard in years. The songwriting was more personal as well, humanizing Patterson to fans by inviting them into a cerebral and complex man’s mind and world. His future albums also featured exquisite singing, songwriting, arrangements and productions that have endeared Patterson to music lovers who appreciate an artist as pure and authentic as he is. Patterson is also known for his thrilling and inspiring live performances where he displays his amazing vocal range and control for a concert experience reflecting the best of Neo-Soul.

When the world is burning around you, who do you want to be? In the wake of an apocalypse, groups of teenagers discuss and explore their fears, hopes, and wishes in a desolate new world. Commissioned specifically for the Round House Theatre Teen Performance Company, At the End of the World rages against injustice and violence, while honoring the power of community, friendship, and taking action.

The Round House Theatre Teen Performance Company is a pre-professional program for the next generation of theatre artists. Round House gathers the region’s most creative young theatre artists and provides mentorship to them as they work on a play at our theatre. Selected students shadow productions on the Round House stage, attend events and master classes with Round House company members, and work closely with professional artists and practitioners at every step of the process.
The program culminates in The Sarah Metzger Memorial Play, which is directed, designed, stage managed, and performed by high school students. The Sarah Metzger Memorial Play was established by the Metzger family and friends to celebrate the memory of Sarah Metzger, an inspiring and active member of the theatre community, who was killed in an automobile accident during her freshman year of college.
