A week without football? Whatever will we do? Your trusted friends at The Hill is Home have a few suggestions:
At Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, registration for spring classes is underway this week, with more than 20 compelling courses scheduled to begin within the next week alone. Visit http://chaw.org/ to sign up for art, poetry, pilates and more.
Peter Pan: The Boy Who Hated Mothers opened yesterday at the H St. Playhouse. This fresh take on the classic tale now runs through March 3. Tickets available at http://www.hstreetplayhouse.com/.
Stop longing for a season past; look ahead to the season that will be! Friday is the last day to submit your application to become a racing president at Nationals Stadium. If you’ve watched the race between innings and long thought you could smoke them all (especially Teddy), now’s your chance! Details here.
In celebration of the weekend, visit H St.’s HR 57 on Friday to hear the Antonio Parker Quartet, stop by Saturday’s monthly Southeast Library Book Sale, or do your civic duty by participating in the One City Summit, where DC residents come together Saturday at the Washington Convention Center to brainstorm about ways to make our District even greater than it already is. Local history also comes to life Sunday and Monday as neighborhood author Mary Gray reads from and signs her new book, “301 East Capitol: Tales From the Heart of the Hill.”
And did we mention that pesky holiday called Valentine’s Day? Cheer on not-so-faint of heart runners participating in Saturday’s sold-out Cupid’s Undie Run around the Capitol to benefit The Children’s Tumor Foundation, sign up to sweat it out Saturday at a dance workshop at Joy of Motion, where participants will learn the choreography from Beyonce’s Single Ladies video, or get moving at a Valentine’s Day Dance Party with the Fabulettes Saturday night at the Corner Store. Create crafty Valentines with your children Monday afternoon at the Southeast Library or simply use the Tuesday holiday as an excuse to indulge in a dinner date at one of our fabulous restaurants on Barracks Row. Everyone knows our neighborhood takes the (cup)cake when it comes to sweet desserts!
