In psychologically charged works, Schneider-White creates haunting scapes populated by figures of indeterminate expression and features. At once passive and simmering with energy just beneath the surface, they hover on the edge of reality. Suspended in time, their state is unknown and perhaps unknowable too: are they merging, trapped, or coming out of space? The neutral background and agitated brushstroke heighten their existential isolation, while the earthen palette reinforces their humanity and ties to nature.

Elizabeth Croydon will be joined by comics Eli Sairs and Michael Seamus Reed for an evening of high comedy. Very high comedy.

With your musical host Eli Sairs, Ms. Croydon invites you to be privy to her new material sewn together into one enormous "Flying Freak Flag", earning Ms. Croydon's title - the Betsy Ross of comedy. Join us as these three "Riot Actors" read you the "Riot Act." Long before Barack Obama, Warren G. Harding was a hard-living, hard loving rockstar. Was he a man ahead of his time, or a bumbling idiot? Celebrate the election craze with the DC Premiere of the hit New York rock musical by Kyle Jarrow, Creator and Composer of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant.
The DC Songwriter Circle returns after a decade-long hiatus. The Circle, which proved to be a sold-out success, took musicians out of his or her usual safety net to share their songs - without microphones or amplification - to an attentive audience in a small black box theater. The new sessions will highlight a variety of performers: from the traditional folkie or the American Roots songwriter to the Hip-Hop artist, from the musician with a jazz background to the alternative/indie songwriter. So, come and sit in on two unigue and intimate sessions of 4 songwriters each as they perform new material and some old favorites. Come see some of the best songwriters from the DC Metro area.
