#934 Spectacular Factory — the Holiday Multiverse at Artechouse

Happy Christmas Eve! As I look back upon in recent months and our 2022 expeditions — I realize that I almost forgot about all the #holidayfun we had in DC back in November when I journeyed down with my little munchkins (one of them not so little anymore) over Thanksgiving Break! We had loads planned on the itinerary (miraculously all achieved and executed)… one of our activities included visiting the @artechouse for their limited holiday pop-up series “Spectacular Factory — the Holiday Multiverse.” It is display until 1/8/23!! I highly recommend it if you’re in the area…  both in NYC and DC. 🦌🎄💂🏼‍♂️🎁 #tistheseason #immersion #artechousedc 

#933 “A Christmas Carol” at Ford’s Theatre

Another all-time holiday favorite — who can resist a good re-telling/ production of “A Christmas Carol” 🎶🎅🏽🎩 — we were so lucky to have caught this very special staging of Charles Dickens timeless classic at the @fordstheatre {aka when Lincoln was assassinated} when we were down in DC — apparently they brought President Lincoln across the street into what is today a sandwich shop? 🤔 The boys had a great time @fungkface is the best Ebenezer Scrooge! 

About the show:

Join the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as they lead the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption. Originally conceived by Michael Baron, this music-infused production captures the magic and joy of Dickens’s Yuletide classic. Acclaimed actor Craig Wallace returns to play Ebenezer Scrooge in a production heralded as a “rich visual and vocal treat” (TheaterMania) and “infectiously jolly” (The Washington Post).

Length: 2 hours with one intermission. Recommended for ages 5 and older.
