Growing Food. Cultivating Community. 

Grow our farm with us

                                     

After eight successful growing seasons, we have literally outgrown our current produce storage, so we're partnering with the Washington Architectural Foundation to build a walk-in cooler and produce storage system on the farm. You can help us safely and secuely store more of our farm fresh produce to go into your Market CSA purchases. 

Here's how you can help - On Thursday, June 8, we are joining the United Way NCA and hundreds of other nonprofits for Do More 24, a 24-hour giving day raising money for DC-area nonprofits. Your tax-deductible donation will help us reach our goal of $1,500 to finish our build. Do More 24 is about the power of numbers, so donations of all sizes are welcome and we encourage you to share this giving opportunity with your networks. Plus, all contributions will be matched by the Jack Johnson Foundation, doubling your impact.

You don't have to wait until June 8! Visit our giving page now and pledge an advanced gift to be processed on June 8. Or join us for the 24-hour giving day, starting 12:01am on June 8.

bag stolen from car parked on the unit block of R Street NW

See this 06-01-2017 message:

My friend just moved to Maine from the Bloomingdale area and yesterday, after packing up his car, his window got smashed and a bag containing 3 laptops, some books, and some other items was ripped from his car. I was wondering if you could share with the listserv to see if anyone came across the bag? We're thinking possibly they took the laptops out and ditched the bag with the books in it (which carried great personal value).

The car was broken into while parked on R St NW between First and North Capitol St.

It was a black Swissbrand shoulder bag with lots of zippers. We're trying everything at this point, but if you hear of anything, please contact me at 646-247-3652 or jmcgonnigal@gmail.com.

just added: A New Section of Our Storytelling for Performance Class at The Unified Scene Theater

Just Added: A New Section of Our Storytelling for Performance Class at The Unified Scene Theater



Our last section of our Storytelling for Performance class sold out in two days. I mean, we're pretty stupid at The Unified Scene Theater, but we're not Donald-Trump-on-Twitter stupid: We've added another section!  
                                                                             

That's right: our newest section of Storytelling For Performance starts on Wednesday, July 19th and goes through Wednesday, August 16th, from 7-9 p.m.. (four weeks of instruction, with a graduation show in week 5, on the evening of August 16th).

Team taught by TUS co-founders Kathy Baird Westfall and Shawn Westfall, you'll learn the art of storytelling for performance, including:

  • Identifying the stories in our lives that make for great content. Everyone has stories to tell and you will shut down the inner censor that might be telling you the opposite.
  • Learning the narrative structure of a story, and how to apply these critical elements to yours
  • Practicing with peers to help shape each other’s pieces week-over-week
  • Gaining feedback, critical to getting better
  • Shaping your story for an audience
  • Working with coaches who help guide your piece into an 8-10 minute performance piece
  • Performing on stage in a graduation showcase and having the opportunity to invite friends and family to see you perform
More info (including instructor bio) here. Ready to register? Go here. But act fast! This one will definitely sell out, too!
