A Natural History of My Husband's Cars, which premiers July 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Takoma Park auditorium, is the story of Jim Landry's love of automobiles.
In the 75-minute performance, Landry and his wife Nicole Burton weave stories, photographs and original music with a social history of the cars' vintages.
