Looking for fun ways to beat the summer heat? Starting this week and running through August 4th, you can head down to Signature Theatre and enjoy live music six evenings a week at the annual Sizzlin' Summer Nights series.

There's a different concert each and every night, so you should be able to find something that's just your taste. The two-week extravaganza starts with a performance from the DC Gay Men's Chorus on July 19, and then moves through soul performances, bluegrass shows, includes soul performers, a Stevie Wonder tribute show, and Broadway homages (just to name a few). There will even be some shows where the theatre's usual tables and chairs are cleared away in order to make room for a dance floor. Check the website for a full schedule, and purchase your tickets in advance, as these concerts often sell out.
