Went to the National Theatre for the first time ever. The group I was with saw "Suffs" (short for…read moreSuffragists). It is a Tony Award winning musical that retell pivotal moments from the Women's Suffrage Movement, especially events that led up to the Suffrage March in 1913, the The National Woman's Party White House Pickets in 1917, and the subsequent events after over the decades. The story was told beautifully through a lot of music and dancing, humor, disagreements, losses, tragedies, and wins the women faced individually and together over the decades. I appreciate the play also addressing tough discussions that needed to be had, such as the movement often & purposely excluding women of color. I also appreciate the play highlighting the significant contributions Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. made with the 1913 March despite facing racial tension from the organizers who wanted them to be in the back of the march. Overall, I will say the theatre itself is very professional, especially with seating patrons and ensuring easy transitions before, after, and throughout the show. They absolutely do not allow any outside food nor drinks. I would suggest eating before or getting something light from the theatre. It is also very close to the metro rail (Metro Center) so transportation there isn't a hassle.

I came in expecting to be entertained and giddy, but left with a conflict of emotions. The stories told had me on a roller coaster of emotions that was 10x better than any Kardashian / Scandal / True Blood binge watching weekend I could ever go on. I was really impressed by the wide range of performers who came from all ages, ethnicity, sexual and gender orientations, bodies, health -- everything. Their short stories celebrated their triumphs and hardships and also was a mental reminder that everybody is not as they appear. For those who are obsessed with Humans of NY -- you'll love Story District. Shows are every second Tuesday of the month and tickets were $16 per person. Seating is limited so I recommend coming an hour early if you would like some tush cushion. I highly recommend attending this show if you are looking to have some great post dinner conversation with someone you are looking to know better....or even someone you've known for years. Five Stars all around. Now who's going to the next show with me?!??!?!

I have been going to StoryDistrict since it was held in Town Danceboutique back in 2016. If you are…read morea fan of the Moth Radio Hour, StoryCorps, or any other story-based performance venue, you will love StoryDistrict. The best part about StoryDistrict is that anyone can submit a story to tell. Yes, they do have classes that you can take to help hone your story-telling craft, but anyone can submit stories based on the themes that change bi-monthly/monthly. The audience is always very supportive of everyone who gets on-stage and while not every story is moving, funny, or eccentric, they each have their own relatable quality to them. If you haven't checked it out, you really are missing something special in the DC area.

There is also a bar to order drinks before the show and during intermission. Tonight we saw the CrazySexyCool TLC musical and it was phenomenal! The show was a biopic of TLCs journey as a musical performance group, the ups, downs, challenges and losses. I really learned a lot about the group as I listened to them growing up without knowing much about their personal history and life details. The main actors for T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli were spectacular. Their voices were incredible and evoked a lot of emotions. The show highlighted many of TLCs music as expected and the show exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!
