April 29, 2024(1 event) Dramathon 2024 – Don't miss your chance to perform alongside some of DC's best actors in readings of brand new plays by leading playwrights! The Dramathon is tons of fun for a great cause, and it's one of our MOST EXCITING events of the year. All funds benefit our Send a Kid to Theatre Camp campaign, which provides scholarships to children and teens for our summer camps and institutes. All you have to do is raise a minimum of $100 by April 12. The Dramathon performance returns in person this year on Monday, April 29. Participants will meet area directors, actors, and playwrights in a one-of-a-kind performance experience - with no previous acting experience and no memorization required! The first step toward the Dramathon spotlight is to register online. We'll set up your donation page, and then your friends, family, colleagues, and community will help you raise money for a great cause. The more scholarship money you raise, the better the roles you will be assigned to play. Once you're cast, you can then invite your family and friends to the event on April 29 for an evening of fun and entertainment. |

May 4, 2024(1 event) Little Shop of Horrors – Join us for our Sensory-Friendly performance of Little Shop of Horrors! Please call (202) 347-4833 to reserve tickets or email access@fords.org with questions. Sensory-Friendly experiences are designed to create a museum or theatre experience that is welcoming for individuals on the autism spectrum or those with other sensory sensitivities who might benefit from an adjusted environment. Our Sensory-Friendly experiences aim to provide a safe environment where individuals and families can relax and be who they are. Little Shop of Horrors is a nonstop blast, sci-fi horror comedy, love story and rock musical that has become one of the most treasured pieces of American musical theatre. Little Shop pays homage to doo-wop and Motown recordings. The story follows a luckless florist shop worker, Seymour, who raises a wisecracking carnivorous plant – Audrey II – that develops a craving for human blood. He delights in the fame and fortune that his leafy, ever-growing friend attracts, while trying to show his co-worker Audrey that she is the girl of his dreams. As Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and intent toward world domination, he learns the lesson: “Don’t feed the plants!” Join us for the return of Little Shop to our historic theatre, directed by Kevin S. McAllister (The Wiz, Ragtime). Ford's Theatre 511 Tenth Street, NW Washington, DC |
