Hello PoP fans! It’s Amy from Free in DC happy to be guest posting here for the third week. Hope you all have been enjoying this new feature. I’m psyched to share with you low cost and free things happening in DC each Thursday for this eve through the weekend. Lots of great things going on tonight and this weekend is also looking pretty good. Hope you enjoy some Here are some things for you to choose from this eve and this weekend!
Tonight, so much to choose from! Happy Hour at ChurcKey on 14th St hosted by Going Out Gurus, 5:00pm – 7:00pm, free food, drink specials and prizes, be sure to see post for special details. Smith Farm hosts a free Talk on the Connection between Smell, Emotions and Health from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Free Ballroom Dance Class at Ebenezer’s near Union Station from 7:00pm – 9:30pm. Film Screening of 10 Shorts from Quebec at Letelier in Georgetown, 7:00pm, not free but reasonable. My personal pick for tonight is Synetic Theater’s Pay-What-You-Can performance of Kafka’s Metamorphosis at 8:00pm. These guys are pretty spectacular, if you haven’t seen them before this would be a great chance to experience Synetic’s surreal style of physical theater. I suggest getting there early to be sure you get in.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
