Normally the Leaving the Theater podcast brings you fresh reviews of television and film while exiting the movies or sitting on the couch. However, on this night we are inviting all of you to join us at the historic Miracle Theater in Capital Hill as we gather to celebrate LOVE ONSCREEN. Host Ronald Young Jr. and friends will bring you a night of comedy, storytelling, and discussion on some of our favorite love scenes in television and film. Ronald will be joined by comedian Marcus Jackson, award-winning and critically acclaimed storytellers Diana Veiga, Shannon Cason, and Yasmin ElHady, as well as talented producers and executives Jonquilyn Hill, Mark Pagan, and Daisy Rosario. You won’t want to miss this!

One of the oldest, youth-led Black History Month film festivals in the Washington Metropolitan area returns for its 20th year, free and open to the public with suggested donations. Solutions Through Film leverages the power of film as a medium to inform, advocate, galvanize, and inspire solutions to challenges facing the Black community and the broader global community. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, three films–You’re Watching Video Music Box, Fresh Dressed, and Dave Chappelle’s Block Party–will be screened at this year’s festival followed by a special panel discussion with members of our community about the evolution of Hip-Hop from past to present.
