From an email:
My name is Hannah Nielsen-Jones, I work at GALA Hispanic Theatre at 14th and Park. I’m emailing you with a somewhat bizarre request. In June, we will be premiering a new musical called ‘Momia en el closet,’ about the journeys of the embalmed corpse of Eva Peron. We are bringing actors and dancers to DC from Argentina to be a part of this production. We’ve already got several of them staying with our people who usually provide artist housing but we need spots for three more, ideally for $300 a month
per person (which is crazy, but theatre budgets are crazy!) either in Petworth/CH or near a Metro so they can get home late after rehearsals. The dates they would be here are April 24th through June 30th.
I think what we would get ideally are some people who have basement apartments they don’t want a long-term tenant in, or are
in-between tenants, who are interested in an intercultural experience, for whom the cash would be a secondary factor … we can offer free tickets to the show as well.
It runs Thurs-Fri-Sat at 8 pm and Sundays at 3 pm, from June 4th through June 28th, at GALA Hispanic Theatre, 14th
St and Park Road, NW. Rehearsals for the show start next week and we are looking for housing asap! People can call Mariana Osorio, the Production Manager, at the GALA office at 202 234 7174, if they have any leads.

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!
