Ok, I know it’s wrong, but I want to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at some point because a co-worker of mine whose wife is really into the knitting said that he goes because of the lamb kebobs. Yes, not only do they fleece ‘em, but they then grill them as well [...]
Stating that something will be “beamed via satellite” to select theatres sounds antiquated, but that’s the charm of This American Life which will be taping a stage show tonight, April 22nd, in New York City (natch) and “beaming” it using “technology” to movie theatres where we TAL nerds will sit munching on our German licorice [...]
Everything’s better with sour cream (I actually made this into a bumper sticker). But you know what’s especially good with sour cream? Pierogis. And say what you like, Mrs T’s frozen pierogis will never come close to those pinched by the hands of little old Ukranian ladies (god bless them). This is why you must [...]
You know there’s nothing I love more than free concerts. And good concerts in places built for outstanding musical sound – all for free… this is why I love Washington. The Library of Congress has announced their 2007 – 2008 series of concerts, and I’m impressed. The 50th birthday of West Side [...]
I keep forgetting that the Carter Barron Amphitheatre is in my backyard (well, if my backyard were really, really, really big). But there it is, and with a Schedule of Events no less – a schedule which is culminating with this Labor Day weekend’s 19th Annual DC Blues Festival on September 1 from noonish to [...]
If you’re looking for something cultural to do after work, don’t have a lot of money to spend, and are just hot, more sympathetic I could not be. But I’m all about solutions. The Kennedy Center’s Millenium Stage has free shows every night at 6 p.m. ranging from jazz to kabuki to participating in the [...]
It’s time for the Capital Fringe Festival – a 10 day art festival for fringe artists – not quite the mainstream, but who needs mainstream art anyway. All the fun kicks off Thursday night at Avenue Night Club and runs through the Wrap party on the 29th at R&R Bar & Lounge. In between see [...]
Speaking of films, the National Gallery of Art has put together quite a collection of art films including a festival of films dedicated to “little-known, rediscovered, and restored cinema from the world’s most innovative archives,” as well as a “Journey through the Russian Fantastik.” They also have art films such as “Paul Mellon in [...]
You might even say there’s a whole festival of Shakespeare going on in town (and really there is in case you haven’t noticed). And the Library of Congress Pickford Theatre is in on the act, showing some of the best adaptations of Shakespeare on film. This Friday is the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Macbeth with Ian [...]
I have to admire a man who saw a bunch of tiny plastic toys in vending machines and thought to himself, “I can put on a Shakespearean play with those fellows.” And Tiny Ninja Theatre was born.
I saw MacBeth a few years ago over at the Warehouse Theater and always hoped he’d be back, [...]
