Plasticine Performance
One thing about living in DC is that you can often find something very cool to do, for free. Now that I'm not coaching hockey anymore, and Martha is working less, we've had some time to actively seek out these opportunities.
We knew that the Millenium Stage at the Kennedy Center has free shows almost every day of the year, so we decided to see one. Martha had read in a print issue of The Onion that this week something pretty neat was going on there.
So, on Monday, Martha and I went to see Tiny Ninja Theatre Presents Macbeth. This was actually a pretty good show, which suprised me quite a bit. First, the Kennedy Center had projected the action up on a screen that was clear from most of the seating area. There were times I had no clue what was going on, but the fact that he was doing Macbeth with tiny ninjas... man, you just can't beat that. It only lasted 40 minutes, but there were a few good laughs (as well as some seriously cheap eats at the snack bar!). If you ever get a chance to see it, I would recommend it, though it really isn't for kids.
They usually post these on the Kennedy Center website, however it appears that TNT is exempt from that - probably because they want people to continue to pay for it!
