SUMMARY:Arachne
DESCRIPTION:Glen Echo Park Cuddle Up\, 7300 MacArthur Blvd\, Glen Echo  \nArachne is an extraordinary weaver. She takes great pride in her work\, so much so that she begins boasting of how no other could rival her skill\, not even Athena\, goddess of Wisdom & patron of Weaving\, who had herself blessed Arachne with the skill she now boasts about. The hubris enrages Athena\, who then challenges Arachne to a tapestry competition. Arachne weaves into her tapestry stories of the gods and their follies\, particularly Zeus. Athena knows the work is better than her own – embarrassed by the defeat and maddened by the stories Arachne has depicted\, she turns Arachne into a spider\, the first ever. Now\, Arachne and her descendants will weave their webs forever. \n35 minutes | ages 8+  \n  \nFree and open to the public!

SUMMARY:Winter’s Tale @ Lime Kiln Theater
DESCRIPTION:Lime Kiln Theater\, Lexington\, VA \n  \nBy William Shakespeare \nThe Winter’s Tale is an epic romance that spans two kingdoms\, four marriages\, and sixteen years.  A friendly visit from the king of Bohemia to the neighboring kingdom of Sicily becomes an international scandal when the local King Leontes accuses his own wife of adultery with his guest.  The situation quickly spirals out of control\, and Leontes is left with no wife\, no children\, and a kingdom in decline.  Shakespeare’s Tale explores how jealousy\, redemption\, and forgiveness can tear families apart and bring them together.  Join Traveling Players in a world of thieving pick-pockets\, omniscient oracles\, and very hungry bears.” \n2 hours\, 15 minutes (plus a 15-minute intermission) | ages 12+

SUMMARY:Remembering Argo Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the life of the absolutely remarkable Argo Barnes. Argo was such an incredible pillar of our community\, and we would like to bring together the people who loved him to honor what he meant to all of us. \nArgo was a talented collage artist\, and in his name we will create a collage to honor him. \nHis friends have asked that those in attendance wear bright colors to honor his bright spirit. \nUPDATE:  \nWe are utterly touched and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support for Argo. We are so glad so many of you loved him the way he deserved to be loved. \nUnfortunately\, our Studio is quite small\, so we are making the very difficult decision to close this event to just Traveling Players’ students\, their families\, and our faculty.  Anyone is welcome to join virtually. \nWe know that there are so many of you who loved Argo and would like to celebrate him. As we get information about future memorial events\, we will be sure to share it to the best of our ability. \nCan’t join us in person?\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89901008329?pwd=9SUlEBIoTSjscdjahJTSt2mH9eb7He.1
