Shakespeare Free-For-All...

...has moved! Sadly, FFA is now going to be downtown at the Company's Harman Hall (the new theater they built on F and 6th Streets). It will now be metro-accessible and, to make up for the lack of green space, I believe the National Building Museum will allow people to picnic on their grounds. Just to further confuse things, they also changed the dates to August 27th to Sept 12.

More free theater!

The National Theater has two free series of random comedians, magicians, dancers, and other acts. The Saturday morning shows are geared more towards kids while Monday evenings are more adult oriented.

This week...

Time to break out the stage combat skills. The Source Theater is debuting their new space at 1835 14th St NW with an all weekend celebration (Nov 22-23). Saturday evening's performance costs $20-25, but the workshops and classes on Sunday are all free. Personally, I think I need to add belly dancing, stage combat, and light saber skills to my repertoire.

To get your culture on mid-week, check out the Beaujolais Nouveau release party at Bistrot du Coin this Wednesday (Nov 19th, 11PM). Beaujolais Nouveau is a wine made from young grapes and only aged 3 weeks. French law dictates it can't be opened until the third Thursday of November, hence there are often big parties the night before. I'm sure other places in DC are also staging events, but this one seems to be the biggest. Sadly, this probably means it'll be super crowded, so go early.
