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.

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.

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.
