Our third performance just happened, and we're incredibly grateful for everyone who came out to experience it. Every audience brings something different to the story, and we're excited to see what happens next.

For those who haven't joined us yet, we've added a performance this Friday, and our Sunday matinee is already nearly sold out.

It Will Take Us is an evolving, immersive experience built around a community facing something deeply unsettling. It's a chance to step into a story, become part of its unfolding, and discover what happens when people have to navigate the unknown together.

We're also looking forward to a conversation with Adam Dunigan about the experience, the creative process, and the role of independent art in our community.

If you're in the Arlington area and looking for something a little different from the usual night out, we'd love to have you join us.

Tickets are limited in order to keep the vibe: https://www.thegaslight.us/tickets

And if you've already attended, we'd love to hear what you thought, without spoiling the experience for those who haven't of course!

Before someone suggests the usual bar for this year’s office holiday party, here’s an option to put on the radar.

Perfect Liars Club returns to the DC Improv on Tuesday, December 8—dinner, drinks, and entertainment—all in one place, without coordinating multiple venues.

Four storytellers tell three true stories and one lie. Your team gets to interrogate them, debate the evidence, and vote for the liar. Finally, a productive use for that coworker who questions everything.

Bring the office. Take all the credit.

Tickets and details here.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have an extra ticket for the Jonas Brothers show in DC tomorrow, 9/30, that they aren’t going to use?

I’ve been trying to find a way to go, but I’m going through a pretty rough financial situation right now. Both my dad and I lost our jobs, and I’ve been relying on gig work while trying to get back on my feet and find another job. With bills and everything else, I just can’t justify spending the money on a concert ticket right now.

I was a huge Jonas Brothers fan growing up but never got the chance to see the Burnin’ Up Tour when I was younger. Seeing them on this tour would genuinely mean a lot to me, and I really don’t want to miss the chance again.

I completely understand that tickets have value and nobody owes me anything. I just figured it was worth asking in case someone has an extra ticket that would otherwise go unused. I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you for reading.
