The Not-Its! come to Wolf Trap

July 12, 2016

Written by children’s music blogger Carolyn Ross. View her monthly live music and arts calendar for families across the Washington, D.C. metro area at Kindiemusicdc.

Jump1

“All politics is local.” A saying familiar to those in Washington D.C. and all around the beltway where bambinos and their parents live and work.  So what does a kids music band out of Seattle have to say about that? Well, quite a lot actually!

As we look toward the 2016 Presidential elections, The Not-Its! are hoping both kids and adults are listening to their message of speaking up and speaking out.  The band’s new album title: Are You Listening? echos this sentiment, as do the lyrics from the single named for our own town, Washington D.C.

A bit like the travelouge, Places to Go With Kids in Washington D.C., “Washington D.C”. by the Not-Its! starts out all about monuments and ruby red slippers at the Smithsonian, but then spirals quickly into a kind of punk activist’s lesson asking what many in the national electorate seem to be saying these days, “D.C. do you hear me, D.C. are you tuned in to me?”

As parents of young children, we often teach them to stop and think about what to say when someone gives you a gift. Or how to apologize for bad behavior. But when was the last time you encouraged your bambinos to tell you what they might have to say to the leaders of our country?

Other Are You Listening? highlights include Kid of the Week a song about basking in the glow of classroom leadership, and Bird on A Wire a kind of introspective song that reminds us to think of our feathered friends when it comes to lunch.

Get tickets for The Not-Its! performance on July 26 & July 27, 2016 at Theatre-in-the-Woods and experience these positive jams in person.

Encore Stage and Studio presents Snow White

January 11, 2016

Prince and Snow White

What: Snow White

When: January 8, 2016 – January 17, 2016

Where: Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre
125 S. Old Glebe Road
Arlington, VA. 22204

Why: Snow White is a beautiful young princess who lives with her jealous stepmother, the Queen. When the Queen discovers that Snow White is truly “the fairest of them all,” she devises a plan to continue her reign permanently. After being banished to the woods, Snow White happens upon seven new friends that give her a place to call home. Your family will enjoy this musical adaptation of the classic fairytale. You won’t hear the name Grumpy or Sneezy and you won’t hear any familiar songs. The songs are so catchy, creative, fun and brilliant– they work as good as the songs in the classic. Your children will love the “theatre for kids by kids” approach and may leave the play asking to be enrolled in classes so they can perform in the next play. Recommended musical for ages 4 and older.

I especially love Encore’s mission– “to build life-long appreciation for live theatre by involving young people in all aspects of theater arts- onstage, backstage, in the classroom, and in the audience. Encore strives to educate and entertain by offering productions each season that are by and for young people, and through enriching classes, camps, and workshops. We believe that participating in live theatre builds problem-solving skills, teamwork, creativity, literacy, and self-confidence. We are cultivating the next generation of active and engaged art lovers.”

Details:
Running time is 1 hour and 40 minutes with an intermission

Tickets can be purchased here. Price is $15 for adults, $10 for children
