What if someone else found your cell phone? What would they learn about you? And what if they started answering your calls?
That’s the premise of the new Woolly Mammoth play Dead Man’s Cell Phone by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl.
I’ve heard good things about the show, but I also think it’s funny that they’ve created [...]
And it’s like – totally free. Well, free insomuch as you need to show up at the Carter Barron, the Shakespeare Theatre or The Washington Post offices the day of the performance to line up for the free tickets. This year they will be performing Love’s Labor’s Lost beginning May 24th to June 3rd. Can [...]
Wolftrap, a national park for the performing arts, has just announced their summer schedule for the Filene Center. Most of the shows aren’t to my taste (I think they are programming for an older crowd), but there are a couple that might be worth checking out.
I’ll definitely see Bugs on Broadway where Bugs Bunny [...]
I always forget to check the schedule, but there are a lot of good upcoming free shows at the Kennedy Center’s Millenium Stage. Shows are at 6 p.m. and no tickets are required. They have several shows as part of the Arts of Japan celebration that coincide with the Cherry Blossom Festival, including [...]
The same people who bring us Jazz in the Garden, Jazz on Ice and Jazz Brunch also nicely provide weekly Sunday evening concerts during the fall and winter. This is the 65th season of concerts in the West Building of the National Gallery – often the programs are matched to a particular exhibition. [...]
That’s right, bastards. You heard me. Crafts. But we’re not talking macrame owls and plant holders: This is edgy, counter-culture, hardcore, serious crafts. Time to crank the Christmas shopping into full-on, nitrogen-charged, throttle-busting mode and head over to the Washington City Paper’s 3rd annual Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Festival right in the heart of [...]
The Washington National Opera is hosting an Introduction to Opera concert on Saturday, 14 October that will feature selections from Puccini and Mozart. I’m guessing that’s to show that yes, you really do know the music. The concert will be conducted by Placido Domingo but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be singing. [...]
One of the many things I love about the Kennedy Center (and hey, it’s one of the unique things about living in Washington, so take advantage of it), is that they provide a chance to go behind the scenes and see how works are created, refined and brought to the stage. I’ve attended rehearsals [...]
I swear, when I first moved to DC, I went to the Adams Morgan Day Festival along with some friends and we… got… blotto – mainly because the bars allowed us to walk out with beer in plastic cups. I think. I don’t really remember much. I think there was a lot of food too.
Obviously, [...]
