Quick hits: Boom and Cirque du Soleil

I am introducing a new piece of the blog. I will use “quick hits” to tell you about adventures I am planning on taking or cool things that I have heard of but won’t be able to make. I hope that you will join me when you can. And of course, I will review all these things afterwards. As always, the point of this blog is to share the wealth. So, here is the information on two events I am going to in the next few weeks:

Play: Boom
Theater: Woolly Mammoth Theater (Gallery Place-red or Archives/Navy Memorial-Green)
Genre: Comedy
Cost: There are student tickets for $15
Dates: Through December 7
I am going: 11/21
Site: here
Note: I’ve never seen a show at Wooly I did not like and I hear good things about this one.


Performance: Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza
Theater: Plateau at National Harbor (not metro accessible)
Genre: Circus arts
Cost: Student tickets start at $49.50
Dates: Through December 14
I am going: 12/2 (I’m taking Lady AWesome for her birthday)
Site: here
Notes: I know that $50 is not so true to my “culture on a budget” mission, but if you’ve never seen a Cirque show, I recommend that you do. It’s worth it. It will blow you mind. Seriously And, I hear that Kooza is particularly good. So if you have the money, this is definitely the way to spend it.
