SUMMARY:Pride Poetry Workshop: "Weird Way to Protest...but\, Yes!"
DESCRIPTION:2026 PRIDE POETRY WORKSHOPS AT THE ARTS CLUB\n\nThe Arts Club of Washington announces a slate of free community writing workshops for 2026\, led by five Pride Poets-in-Residence. Workshops are designed to be generative\, so participants will leave each session with a new poem-in-progress\, and are open to writers of all levels of experience and backgrounds. \n  \nPride Poetry Workshop: “Weird Way to Protest…but\, Yes!”\nUsing popular protest signs and memes as prompts\, participants create short poems in three veins: love\, abstract\, and erotica. This approach highlights the accessibility of inspiration\, examines protest poems from new and imaginative angles\, and boldly stands in queerness in a world that wants to pretend us away. Led by Angelique Palmer. \nAngelique Palmer is a performance poet\, kindergarten teacher\, and spoken word instructor at Wilkes University\, author of two books of poems\, who is in her second year of a three-year tenure as Fairfax County Poet Laureate. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Story District Presents: New Year\, Who Dis?
DESCRIPTION:New Year\, Who Dis? Some stories start with a plan. Others start with a breakup\, a burnout\, or a late-night idea that won’t shut up. This show is about the moments that push us to change –– to leave\, to leap\, or to try something new even if it scares the hell out of us. You’ll hear from people who made big moves\, took weird detours\, and ended up somewhere totally unexpected. Why Come? Real stories about what it takes to change even when it’s messy. A crowd that gets how hard (and hilarious) fresh starts can be. A night that?ll leave you thinking about what?s next. The night doesn’t end when the curtain falls. All audience members\, storytellers\, and friends are invited to stick around for the Storytellers Lounge: a relaxed\, post-show gathering where the stories keep flowing. \n  \nRegister here.
