WaPo 1889: "Washington's new reservoir: will it some day cause a disaster like that of Johnstown?"
See this Washington Post article from 1889 regarding DC's new reservoir -- the McMillan Reservoir.
In June, 1889, following a heavy
rain and flooding in the Washington area, a reporter for The
Washington Post was told that the new reservoir was strong, and was not located
where it would receive drainage, therefore, "there is no danger of the
Johnstown disaster repeating in this city".
(1889, Jun 03). The Washington Post

New
Classes Starting In September at The Unified Scene Theater: Intro To Improv
Comedy and Storytelling for Performance!
80 T Street NW
Bloomingdale
The
Unified Scene Theater has just announced their latest round of classes for
September and October, featuring two that are ideal for the novice performer,
with no experience necessary or required. Read on...
Our
Next Introduction To Improvisational Comedy Begins Monday, September 11th!
Our
next seven-week Introduction to Improv Comedy Class Improv Class will be held
on Mondays, 7:00 p.m. – 9 p.m., September 11th through Monday, October 23rd
(six weeks of instruction, with a graduation show in week seven, on Monday,
October 23rd). We'll focus on and take a deeper dive into some of the things
that inform great (and hilarious) improv scenes: agreement, commitment, energy,
and context through exercises and games that demonstrate the fundamental
principles behind this fun and exciting art form. Again, no experience
necessary.
Our
next Storytelling for Performance Class Begins on Wednesday, September 13th!
The
Unified Scene Theater's next Storytelling for Performance Class begins on
Wednesday, September 13th and goes through Wednesday, October 11th, from 7-9
p.m. (four weeks of instruction, with a graduation show in week 5, on the
evening of October 11th). In this class, you'll learn everything from how to
gather information for a story, shape into a recognizable narrative arc, and
then strategies for telling it in public. We take you from having an unshaped
story idea to having a performance-ready story to share in a few short weeks.
Also: our graduation show will be held at Big Bear Cafe, our neighbors only a
few blocks away.

You On The Scene,
Shawn

Patience and grace have become my two favorite words since deciding to open Creative Grounds DC.
We
are so anxious to open our doors to the community. But before we do that we
must plead our case to the Board of Zoning. In preparation for our hearing I am
securing signatures of support from residents within a 200mile radius of the
site, 1822 North Capitol St,, NW
If
you would, kindly visit the petition below and show your support by
signing.
Thanks
in advance, and have a great Sunday!
