Catalogue charities bring you an arts-filled weekend and great events through next week. Great performances for kids, families, and adults! Take a look below and we hope you’ll be inspired to (possibly) hop up on stage and join some of the best small nonprofits in the DC region!
“While there was a large national discussion about the school-to-prison pipeline and the challenges facing African-American boys, there was little conversation about the girls. We kept thinking to ourselves, what about the girls?”
In honor of Black History Month, we welcome Sister Mary Bourdon, Head of School at Washington School for Girls. Washington School for Girls offers a solid and holistic education in the Catholic educational tradition, featuring intellectual challenge, respect for diversity, and support for the spiritual, social and emotional growth of each student.
From dance and theater performances, to community walk-through’s, and gala events to support worthy causes in our region, this week Catalogue nonprofits offer a host of activities for young, old, and the creative (clay workshops!) No better way to beat the cold than getting out and enjoying DC culture and volunteer opportunities!
“Right now theaters are integrating and experimenting with technology and social media in their artistic work, as well as in their outreach efforts.”
In honor of Black History Month we welcome Thembi Duncan, Artistic Director of the African Continuum Theatre Company. The African Continuum Theatre Company presents high-quality productions, workshops, and programs that illuminate African-American experiences, examine multiple facets of identity, and explore the connections of African-Americans to the African Diaspora. A native of the Washington D.C. area, Thembi has performed as an actor, playwright, director, and teaching artist in the region for almost 15 years. Many of her most treasured and formative onstage experiences were in African Continuum productions, so she is honored to serve as the leader of this renowned artistic?organization.
“I’m hopeful that systemic change will take root, offering the promise of the American Dream to a subset of our society for whom that dream remains particularly elusive.”
In honor of Black History month we welcome James Woody, Executive Director of Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys. The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys is an Episcopal School for children of low-income families that welcomes boys of all faith traditions. James talks about how the Bishop T Walker School?exists uniquely in the DC education landscape and how he’s working to provide high quality education to boys of color in South East DC.
