UPDATE: From the listing company, “Our company has been doing some website maintenance over the holidays and whomever sent this in to you must have somehow accessed an older marketing piece showing the theater space as being available for lease, which is not the case. Nothing has changed on the theater space since you last reported on it and only the small 2 storefronts on Connecticut Avenue remain available for lease (816 SF and 836 SF respectively).”
In a call to the Beacon Hotel I was told that BBG was closed for renovations. If all goes well they hope to open back up mid-late next year, possibly in August.
Thanks to DS for sending:

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time for commemorating our ancestors. Rather than a period of mourning, it is an occasion for celebrating with family—both living and dead—and honoring the cycle of life. Learn about La Catrina and her joyful view of life and mortality. Enjoy family-friendly activities throughout the day, including dance performances, coloring activities, and paper marigold and mask making. Visitors are invited to leave photos and mementos of their loved ones on the ofrenda (altar) or commemorate them by writing their names on a butterfly to attach to the memorial arch.
Part scavenger hunt, part casino, and part social puzzle game, Casino Heist is an interactive event that turns Barrel House into a live game board.

The experience is designed to get people moving, meeting, and playing together in a fun, low-pressure setting. No real money is used during gameplay; points act as the in-game currency. Tickets are $10 and proceeds benefit Logan Circle Main Street community events.
