definitely consider checking out...

be well,

==================================
This week!

DC Hip Hop Theatre Festival.
Today through Saturday July 12
All events are free! But come one hour early for tickets, as it fills
up quickly. Highlights include: Sol & Soul’s Elegies in the Key of
Funk & awesome dancer/slam poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph

==================================
Now Through August 10
See me in The Neverending Story at Imagination Stage!

It’s really fun, I get to play with puppets in hot-air balloons, wind
giants, and extremely quick costume changes in this great ensemble
show. A fantastical adventure based on the international best-selling
novel by Michael Ende (which you must read, it’s beautiful).

A thrilling adventure tale in the epic spirit of The Lord of the
Rings, The Neverending Story begins with a lonely boy, Bastian, who
sneaks up to his school’s attic to read. There, he discovers the land
of Fantastica, whose Childlike Empress is dying. Bastian follows the
brave Atreyu as he searches for her cure, losing his horse in the
Swamp of Sadness, befriending a flying dragon and outwitting the
Werewolf Gmork. But when Atreyu returns to the Empress empty-handed,
it is Bastian whose courage must be tested. Recommended for ages 6 and
up.
