ADRIFT returns for 3 weeks this summer! July 16-Aug 2 at Round House Theatre in Bethesda. https://roundhousetheatre.org/on-stage/explore/adrift/

Come take a workshop with Mark and Sabrina! If you’re in Vermont or environs we’d love to see you!

On June 26th from 10am–4pm, Happenstance Theater will lead a physical comedy workshop. These skilled artists will help participants explore the nuances of clowning, mimetic gesture, stage presence, and comic timing. The workshop is open to participants ages 16 and up. The workshop requires a minimum of 6 participants and maximum of 16. Tickets to the full-day workshop are $75. To register, please visit, https://app.arts-people.com/?show=322020 or sandglasstheater.org

The Washington Post describes their work as “visually striking and whimsical without being precious" and calls Happenstance Theater "DC’s leading peddler of whimsy.”

Last call for PHYSICAL COMEDY workshop this weekend! https://roundhousetheatre.org/education/classes/classes-for-adults/

Born in Nuremberg on this day in 1471, the painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer. Read an essay on an early series of illustrations he made for Sebastian Brant’s The Ship of Fools, and how in their subtlety of allegory these woodcuts show promise of his masterpieces to come: https://buff.ly/3wonVgd
