The co-working company’s District locations remain open at a time when public health experts urge people to stay apart from one another.
DCist’s highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. Repertory: D.C. Labor FilmFest Strictly speaking, the D.C. Labor FilmFest isn’t a repertory festival, but with over half of their programming falling into that category, plus a dedicated retrospective to the great Ken Loach, we’ll go ahead and shoehorn it into the category this week. The festival is put on by the Washington Metro Council of…
It’s officially December, so we find our thoughts turning to holiday shopping. Will you be giving the gift of local theater (or hoping to receive it) this season? Here are a couple of things on our wish list for the D.C. theatre community: 1. For tiny companies like Meat & Potato and Natural Theatricals to have their seats filled more frequently, and for small but innovative companies like Rorschach to get Helen Hayes nods this…
After the news of The Great Pumpkin Shortage and the one-month anniversary of Steve Irwin’s passing, you may need an excuse to laugh. We gots one. Washington Improv Theatre has two nights-worth of back-to-back improv comedy at the Mead Theatre Lab at Flashpoint. Tonight’s 8 p.m. show includes two performances, one by the Daily Grind. Think Office Space on stage. In case you didn’t get enough Janet in HR at work today, Daily Grind will…
Washington is about to be overrun by film festivals, so get your comedies and dramas, your Hollywood actors and local wannabes, your serious documentaries and hilarious animations starting tonight.

The DC Shorts Film Festival is playing 94 movies by independent filmmakers from all over the world. Most of the festival, which runs until September 21, will…
In its first weekend, the Capital Fringe Festival turned downtown D.C. into a moveable feast of performance, as show after show made its Fringe debut. As we enter Day Five of the festival, it’s now time to go get a second helping—a show you want to see again or a show your friends have told you is a must-see. Even still, a handful of shows will get their start today. At DCist, we’d love to…
The insular world of the local media may have been broken wide open by NBC 4 today, allowing us a valuable insight into what some employees at the television station think of each other. I was perusing the news early this morning, and only quickly glanced at an NBC 4 story titled, “Some Say They Are Annoyed By Coworkers.” Not seeming like anything new, I didn’t give it much of a second thought. But upon…
Your computer freezes. Your mouse barely works. The program you need to run immediately to get that report done just won’t load. You press ctrl-alt-del, manually reset your machine, and just when you think the problem is solved, there it is: the blue screen of death. These are moments when you long to smash your computer to bits. After all, it is just a stupid machine, right? Unfortunately, in addition to the monetary damage…
