This week is packed with performance art, Japanese denim, Hamilton, and theater of various genres. Get after it.

MONDAY, APRIL 8

BLOOM: Apparently something is going on with pink trees—strawberry blooms, they may be called? Have you heard of this? If you’re curious, digital exhibit space ARTECHOUSE will take you on a guided tour of the real live raspberry buds surrounding the Tidal Basin, stopping at three monuments nestled in the cranberry petals. The tour will end at ARTECHOUSE’s exhibit, In Peak Bloom, so you don’t have to spend too long in actual nature. Ticket price includes the walking tour and admission to In Peak Bloom. (MLK Jr. Memorial Bookstore, 6 p.m., $40)

IT’S A SMALL WORLD: I’d make fun of full-grown adults with Disney obsessions, but I don’t want to wake up to a severed Pegasus head in my bed, The Godfather-style. Disney fans are notoriously passionate, so this evening of themed trivia at Nick’s Riverside Grill is bound to be a lively evening. BYO mouse ears. (Nick’s Riverside Grill, 7 p.m.-9 p.m., FREE with registration)

BUT IS IT ART: The Danish and Swedish Embassies collaborated with DC Arts Center to bring us The Machinery: Oppressive Mechanics, an “ARTivistic encounter” where guests will explore “an artistic creative dialogue” about light, frothy topics like respect, narcissism, empathy, destruction, creativity, pain, pleasure, corruption, generosity, oppression, and freedom. (DC Arts Center, 7:30 p.m., $15)

TWO-ACT FAIRY TALE: Catch Ford’s Theatre’s smart, playful take on beloved Sondheim and Lapine musical Into the Woods. Swap out the harsh realities of Monday for a storybook world of surrealism and singing. (Ford’s Theatre, 7:30 p.m., $28-$64)

TUESDAY, APRIL 9

SWASHBUCKLING BALLET: If real-world adventure is too much for you, take in word-famous Mariinsky Ballet’s presentation of Le Corsaire, a ballet of epic proportions: We’re talking pirates, maidens, betrayal, AND a shipwreck. If only real life had intermissions every thirty minutes. (The Kennedy Center, 7:30 p.m., $49-$209)

TOTES ORIGINAL: Forget magazines and museums—the latest status tote comes from your own blood, sweat, and tears. Or, like, your own mild effort and some paint. Artist Maryanne Pollock, whose textiles sell in museums like the Phillips Collection and the Whitney Museum in New York, will teach you how to print original designs onto a couple of canvas totes to take home at this class. (Shop Made In DC, 6 p.m.-8 p.m., $79)

PEST CONTROL: This month’s Capitol Hill Garden Club meeting will hear from the program manager of D.C.’s Rodent and Vector Control Program, Gerard Brown, who will address the latest strategies for dealing with outdoor and indoor pests. On the fence about attending? This story might turn your maybe into a yes. (Northeast Neighborhood Library, 6:45 p.m.-8:45 p.m., FREE)

DIRTY DADDY: Bob Saget went from beloved TV dad to totally unfiltered comedian faster than Aunt Becky could scam her kids into college. He’s in town this week performing his raunchy brand of stand-up comedy with opening act Mike Young. If you want to know what to expect, copies of his book, Dirty Daddy, are currently available at the D.C. Public Library. (Sixth & I, 7 p.m., $45)

Now that you do, educate yourself further at this screening of Weaving Shibusa, a film about the passionate Japanese denim craftsmen who make what is considered to be the world’s finest denim. Two leading figures from the Japanese denim industry will lead a discussion following the screening. (Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan, 6:30 p.m.-8:30, FREE with registration)

THURSDAY, APRIL 11

MORE HAMILTON: Hamilton is coming back to The Kennedy Center next summer, but, since 2020 feels painfully far away, you can get your Hamilton fix at this week’s Profs & Pints. Richard Bell, associate professor of history at the University of Maryland, will talk about the successful marriage of history and show business, what the musical got right and wrong, and the choices the creators made to “simplify, dramatize, and humanize the complicated stories on which the show is based.” (Social Circle Bistro at the Cambria Hotel, 6 p.m., $12)

FLIPPING ART: Touring LA-based art pop-up Pancakes and Booze is stopping by Howard Theatre to celebrate its 10th year flipping flapjacks and introducing the masses to the nation’s emerging artists. Tickets get you in the door, access to over 100 local artists exhibiting over 500 art works, all-you-can-eat pancakes, live body painting, and a real unique vibe. (Howard Theatre, 7 p.m.-1 a.m., $18)

FAR-EAST COASTER: Yesterday you had the chance to learn about Japanese denim, but if you’re more of a doer, here’s your opportunity to create the denim coasters you didn’t know you needed. Doesn’t your coffee table look empty now? Cover it in little denim squares. Participants are also encouraged to bring jeans they’d like distressed, as a few lucky attendees will be chosen for a denim distressing demonstration (say that five times fast). (Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan, 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m., FREE with registration)

THE JUMPSUIT PROJECT: Once Sherrill Roland was exonerated after spending 10.5 months in a D.C. prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he returned to art school and turned his experience into The Jumpsuit Project. This performance art piece questions mass incarceration and biased assumptions and culminates with a dialogue between Roland and Dr. Marc Morje Howard, a professor at Georgetown Law.
