It’s the holidays, and we know you’re busy. But, if you have a moment of free time in your busy schedule, here are some ideas on how to fill it…
Tonight at the Hill Center learn about the the world’s bees and why you need to care more about them. A screening of More Than Honey by Swiss film maker Markus Imhoof will be shown. Imhoof will also discuss the film post-screening. The event is free but reservations are suggested. Learn more here.
Friday the Great Noise Ensemble returns to the Atlas with a program of contemporary compositions exploring grief and loss, Naiskos: For Those We Love. The concert begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are available here.
The Hill Center continues their pre-Hayes code film series Tough Dames in Satin Slips with Heat Lightning. The series explores the history of sex and violence in the movies, censorship and the ratings system is curated by movie critic Nell Minow and journalist Margaret Talbot. The screening begins at 7 p.m. and is free. Register here.
Saturday and Sunday the Boy Scouts are running their annual coat drive. Bring your outgrown and unused outerwear to Eastern Market near C Street, SE. Look for the Capitol Boy Scout Banner, and they will take the coats off your hands.
Sunday get moving on your holiday baking at the Holiday Cookie Baking Class with Washington Post food writers Bonnie Benwick, Stephanie Witt Sedgwick, and Jane Touzalin at the Hill Center. Were you intimidated by the annual cookie issue in the Post yesterday? These ladies can help you. Participants will make Fennel Macaroons with Fresh Mint Ganache, Glazed Pain d’Epices, and Pear Gingerbread S’Mores. The best part — you get to take the cookies home! The class is from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. and costs $65. Register here.
