From an email:
“May is mental health awareness month, but most of us aren’t aware just how many of us struggles. Hearing that 1 in 5 of us has a mental health challenge isn’t as meaningful as hearing the humans facing those challenges.
That’s the point of All The Feels, a mental health variety show, that is next Wednesday, May 29th at Union Stage. Ten local performers will tell stories, do stand up comedy, share poetry and sing about their experiences with challenges from depression and bipolar, to substance abuse and suicide.
Among the performers, Mikael Johnson, a long time DC actor with so many diagnoses and prescriptions he’s stopped keeping track, shares his experience of finding a therapist who laughs with him. Gabrielle Zwi, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter, shares her music about struggling with labels and identity and how they overlap with mental health. And Joani Peacock, an Episcopal priest, shares about writing sermons through a manic episode until a car accident forced a reality check.
The goal of the show is to encourage people to feel normal and less alone, the first steps to feeling better. Come hear their stories and more. For details and tickets, check out AllTheFeelsShow.com“

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!
