Step Into the Story: hometown DC On Stage

Washington is more than a capital—it is a collection of vibrant neighborhoods shaped by the people who call them home. As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, hometown DC puts local stories at the heart of the District’s commemoration.

hometown DC is series of installations—designed as interactive “cubes”—being showcased at a DC Public Library in every ward and includes free events focusing on experiences and reflections from the people who call the District home. Join us for this free interactive event where Washingtonians’ stories will take center stage.

Verbal Gymnastics Theater Company will bring recorded memories to life using a modified version of their signature Playback Theater method. During this event, the company will perform a selection of hometown DC oral history interviewee stories through movement, music, and drama. We can’t for you to join Johnson and the rest of the cast as they turn these oral histories into a shared, high-energy visual experience.

More than an exhibition, hometown DC is an invitation to connect with the fabric of our city. Visit hometown.dchistory.org to learn more about this project, listen to featured oral histories, and find an installation near you.

THE MINUTES – Closing

Night falls on Big Cherry, USA, a seemingly ordinary town with secrets festering beneath its folksy charm. As the city council meeting unfolds in real time, tensions rise, alliances shift, and a routine agenda veers into chaos. What begins as civic procedure spirals into a gripping unmasking of buried truths and a chilling question: How far would you go to protect your version of the truth? From the razor-sharp pen of Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts (AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY), THE MINUTES is a darkly hilarious, slow-burning thriller that peels back the patriotic veneer of American identity. Part biting satire, part psychological mystery, it exposes the rot at the heart of institutional power and the stories we tell to survive it.
