Listen to Your Mother

Listen To Your Mother comes to The Synetic Theatre on May 6th!

by Stephanie April 30, 2012 Around Town

Giveaway: “Frozen Planet” DVD for Nature-Loving Kids

Even if there’s little chance your family ever travel to the remote North and South Pole, what happens there is still important. That’s why I love the documentary “Frozen Planet,” which aired on Discovery last [...]

The Washington Ballet: Alice and Wonderland – and More!

by Elaine April 16, 2012 Entertainment

Team Wallace or Team Gromit? (w. Giveaway)

by thien-kim March 28, 2012 DVD

I was lucky enough to be indoctrinated in the world of “Wallace and Gromit” by a former boss over 10 years ago. Having just moved to a small town for a summer job, my coworkers and I relished our Friday movie nights with our boss. We ate popcorn and watched films I’d never heard of, [...]

Sharing a Childhood Favorite with Your Kids: ‘The Muppets’

by Jill Berry March 23, 2012 Entertainment

Growing up, Britain’s three TV channels showed mostly news, horse racing, and comedy shows. Slim pickings. On a day home from school, I would often take a nap to while away the day since there was nothing good on TV. But, weekend evening TV was another story. The dearth of choice during the day was [...]

Strathmore: Cultural Beacon in the Suburbs

by Sandie February 20, 2012 Around Town

I will admit that I’m a bit of a New York snob when it comes to DC. I’ve lived here nearly five years, and for the first 3.5 years, I prefaced every introduction with “I just moved from Brooklyn” (code for: don’t try to impress me with anything about DC and its suburbs, because everything [...]
