How To Make a Scene: Two Elected Officials Are Shaping the Future of Theater in D.C.

As traditional stages disappear, two hyperlocal officials are making sure artists still have places to perform.

Ahoy Friends! Tonight at 7 pm at the Shipyard it's Rebecca Berlin, Juels Bland and Jasper Hobbs! Fun fact - Juels is in the running for having played the most Shipyard shows of anyone which is impressive considering from how far away he comes to be here. tinyurl.com/Shipyard809 to RSVP

Back to where it all started. Boy Meets Pearl actually got our start at the Shipyard doing a show with Emmett and Be Steadwell back when we were just a duo and doing mostly covers. Help us rediscover our roots while supporting indie artists, DIY venues and local nonprofits! tinyurl.com/Shipyard927

Yesterday was a gift.

First day in a bit where I didn't have to do anything and got to reflect on how cool the folks are who are building community and making cool shit happen in the local music scene. Biked with Christian past Pierce Mill and to Fringe.

These days we need all the balm for our souls we can get. Like live music, in an intimate venue, sharing food and drink. Name your ticket price and that gets split between the artists and Abodes Joy, a nonprofit providing free training in house repair and restoration Tinyurl.com/Shipyard809

Yesterday was a gift.

This Did Go Boom!!! The culmination of the week of amazing performances and community building! Ella and I managed the Sangfroid Distillery stage and it was lovely. The Sangfroid folks are delightful. Everyone who played was fab.

Friday was a gift catchup.

Mostly because I got to hang out with the Queen o'Boopsnoots. Caught up with friends. Rested up for Saturday which was the right thing to do.
