Live music night
Join us on Friday, May 11 to attend a special night of live music in the vibrant H Street Corridor. Jeff Martini & the One Two Soul Revue, featuring Avy Mallik '07 and Alexandra Wood '07, will be performing at the Red Palace and sharing songs they have written over the past two years. Their style is a blend of modern indie rock with '60s soul, funk, and gospel--think Otis Redding crossed with The Clash. The rest of the evening will be filled with fantastic Americana/folk music.
We will meet for food and drinks at the Red Palace at 8 p.m., and music will begin at 9 p.m.
Friday, May 11, 8 p.m.
Red Palace
1212 H St. NE
Washington, DC
Tickets are $8 and are available for purchase at the door.
RSVP to Alexandra Wood '07 at alexandraw@gmail.com.
Theatre night
Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn ‘91
Thursday, May 31 at 8 p.m.
Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co.
“Armageddon has hit, and all that remains is our nostalgia for a lost pop culture. In Anne Washburn’s riveting vision of post-apocalyptic America, survivors invent a new entertainment industry from the ashes of the old. With music by Obie Award-winner Michael Friedman, their enterprise gives redemptive new meaning to the pop hits and cartoon icons we can't live without.”
This is the vision of incredibly talented Reedie Anne Washburn ’91. If you saw her trans-adaptation of Euripides at the Folger a couple of years ago, you know how lucky D.C. is to have one of her performances premiere here again.
Buy tickets online and use Super Secret Special Reed College Student & Alumni Ultra Discount Code of 1505 for a 15% discount when checking out.
Anne will do something with us before, during, or after depending on her hectic schedule. Once she irons it out, we'll let you know. Likely it will be a post-play discussion at the theater or a nearby venue. Updates will be posted on facebook.
