WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GEICO Gecko theatre presents another season of Midweek Matinee live
performances at the Prince George’s County Publick Playhouse.
This popular series is back for its sixth season, sponsored by a $30,000

creativity and get them excited about learning through art and cultural
experiences.”
