pt film and stage
There will come a time when the life of Patron Saint Sarah Palin will be turned into a full length feature film that everyone will have to see. And before this happens, we can expect someone will produce artsy films about Our First Black President, how the Teabaggers killed the motorized scooter, et cetera and [...]
Saturday, April 3: Well, if you haven’t already seen the Cherry Blossoms, turns out that they peaked on Wednesday. Oh well, so sad. But now you have no reason not to spend Saturday indoors at the Freer Gallery with Japan’s greatest gift to the world: anime. The Eighth Annual National Cherry Blossom Festival Anime Marathon [...]
Today through Sunday, December 20: Get ready for legs, legs, legs. Legs that extend higher than is humanly possible. It can only mean that the Rockettes are in DC for Christmas.
Saturday, December 12 through Sunday, December 13: Dance as if you just got rejected and are stuck to the floor because there’s beer all over it. That’s what the Jane Franklin Dance company will be doing in their show The Floor is Sticky, which combines poetry, spoken word and theater. Modern dance is fascinating.
Tonight, Friday October 24: One more reason that the EU was a damn good idea: it hosts a continent wide competition to see which country can produce the best pop song. The House of Sweden is holding its own rendition of the contest tonight, complete with past contestants, karaoke and an open bar. Tickets are [...]
Tonight, October 16 through Saturday, October 26: The gays take over the big screen! See them in all their gay glory in the Reel Affirmations Film Festival. Tickets are $10. [Reel Affirmations]
Tonight and Saturday, October 3: Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance. Dance if you want to, but it’s way more fun to pay $15 to watch some of the best do it. [Velocity DC Dance Festival]
Saturday, September 26: Laura Bush did not read to her children and she felt bad because her kids became losers. To make up for it, she invented The National Book Festival. Even though she is gone from DC and one daughter is now on the teevee, the festival continues, but it is now hosted by [...]
Tonight through Saturday, October 10: Messing with gender is a surefire way to make a play successful, or at least more interesting. The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop gives you ALL-GIRL Shakespeare in their rendition of Measure for Measure. And what better to have an all-female cast in one of Shakespeare’s most sexually-charged plays. [Capitol Hill Arts [...]
Friday, September 11-Thursday, September 17: A celebrity is in town, and it has NOTHING to do with Obama! See Billy Crystal perform a play all about HIMSELF, because he is so important and witty that he wants you to experience every single one of his moments of love, laughter and loss. Tickets are $42-$150. [700 [...]
Tonight, Friday, September 4:Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is helping us bid adieu to watching movies outside during the summer. The late John Hughes directed this tale of some rich kids in Chicago or somewhere, and how they have sex with Sarah Jessica Parker, in space. It’s the final film being screened as part of Rosslyn’s [...]
Friday, August 7: While it may not be nearly as exciting as the Air Sex Finals that were held in DC this past June, the US Air Guitar Championships at the 9:30 Club tonight should still be an entertaining evening. Watch people awkwardly strum their stomachs for a chance to be crowned Champion and the [...]
Tonight through Saturday, August, 1: If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were Christopher Walken, or contemplate good versus evil using only pantomime, or if you just like watching people attempt to be funny on the spot (and then laugh at them when they don’t succeed), go to the Improvapalooza at the Source theater this [...]
It’s here! Well, OMFG the second installment of Screen on the Green is coming up on Monday, July 27. The first one may have almost been rained out, but we CAN’T WAIT to see the next film, Dog Day Afternoon, on Monday. What’s it about? Is it any good? Who cares! [This is a very [...]
