Announcements
Starting April 6th, EvolveAll Martial Arts and Training Studio is opening its doors for Intro Week — one full week where every class is free to try, no experience or membership required.
Whether you’ve been thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, want to sharpen your striking skills, or are ready to find a fitness routine that sticks, next week is your chance to walk in and see what EvolveAll is all about. New this season: ongoing Self-Defense classes and expanded Fitness Bootcamp sessions have been added to the schedule — two of the most-requested programs at the studio.
If you’re over 50, the biggest threat to your health isn’t just weight gain; it’s the gradual loss of muscle, bone density, and metabolism.
On April 2, Revolutionary Fitness is hosting a limited DEXA Scan Day, giving you access to one of the most advanced body composition tests available.
In its mission to interrogate both the classics and the current days, Avant Bard Theatre proudly presents the final weekend of “The Two Gentlemen of Killarney,” an adaptation by Séamus Miller (“Coriolanus,” “The Margriad”) at Gunston Arts Center – Theatre Two.
The play is a timely immigrant love-comedy with live Irish music. Adapted from Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” the story follows friends-turned-rivals from Ireland to America during the Great Famine, blending Shakespeare’s wit with traditional Irish tunes and delivering a rollicking and dynamic celebration of love, immigration, and humanity. All performances are free to APS students and federal employees affected by the DHS shutdown (just show ID); all Saturday matinees are Pay-What-You-Can.

The Capitol Hill Chorale is proud to share Zoltan Kodály’s masterpiece “Psalmus Hungaricus” in collaboration with the Washington Saxophone Quartet.
Kodály wrote the piece against the devastating backdrop of post-World War I Hungary, weaving traditional Hungarian musical motifs with the biblical story of King David. The result is an impassioned plea for justice.
At a certain point a lot of guys realize their social life has narrowed more than they expected. Friends move away, people get pulled into work or relationships, and actually seeing the same guys regularly becomes rare.
That’s what led me to build an app called Choros here in DC.
Metropolitan Culinary Arts Institute (MCAI) located in Arlington, VA, is proud to announce that it has received approval to accept VA education benefits. Eligible veterans, active-duty military members, and qualified dependents may now use their GI Bill® benefits to enroll in MCAI’s professional culinary programs.
This approval allows qualifying students to apply GI Bill® education benefits toward MCAI’s intensive certificate programs in ‘Culinary Arts’ and ‘Breads & Pastry Arts’, both designed to prepare students for careers in the professional food industry.
Theatre arts is growing in the City of Alexandria! Encore Stage & Studio is proud to bring theatre directly to young students at four Alexandria City Public Schools thanks to support from the City of Alexandria Arts Grants Program and a matching grant from the Revada Foundation. This season, Encore toured bilingual Spanish-English short plays to students at Charles Barrett, Cora Kelly, William Ramsay, and Ferdinand T. Day Elementary Schools.
Students enjoyed A Sidewalk Stroll in the fall, and this week Encore completed the second leg of the tour with a brand-new piece, Rainy Day Rhythms / Ritmos de la Lluvia. These performances introduce young audiences to the magic of live theatre while celebrating storytelling across languages and cultures.
