Take Your Sweetie to Woo at the Zoo

Tickets are selling fast! Reserve your spots today for Woo at the Zoo on Friday, February 14, from 7-10 p.m.

Learn all about dating, mating and procreating — in the animal kingdom, at least. Bring a special someone, grab a cocktail and dance the night away at a throwback ’80s prom.

Tickets include two hilarious, raunchy presentations on animal dating and mating. Hour-long sessions begin at 7:30 and 9 p.m. Choose your preferred session at checkout, but remember to come early and stay late — the dance party and other activities continue from 7 to 10 p.m.

Each hour-long session includes both talks, followed by a Q&A. The talks are:

Waddle I Do Without You: Penguin Speed Dating

Presented by Small Mammal House Curator Steven Sarro. When there are 100,000 potential mates to meet and everyone is wearing the same outfit, how does a penguin find its soulmate?

Performance Anxiety: Breeding at the Zoo

Presented by Smithsonian Global Health Program Director Suzan Murray. Breeding endangered species here at the Zoo is a science. How do we make sure the Zoo’s animals are getting down to business — and how do we help them survive in the wild?

Tickets include complimentary desserts. Guests will be given one drink ticket each for a specialty cocktail, beer or wine. The ’80s prom dance party will feature a DJ in a heated tent, plus there will be trivia and an Instagram-friendly photo station. When purchasing tickets, guests can add an exclusive Valentine’s Day gift to their ticket — a mini Adopt a Species package to pick up at the Zoo the night of the event.

Parking for event attendees is free.

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!
