    "In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette stood high above Washington DC on the steps of Arlington House at Arlington National Cemetery, and declared the view of the Potomac River and the nascent city the finest view in the world. 

    The scene from Arlington House stretches from what is today the Key Bridge on the left, to National Airport on the right.

    Follow along with retired Smithsonian researcher Roger A. Mola (HUMEC '83) as he illustrates how that view has changed in the last two centuries, spanning farms to forts, bridges and cannon batteries, and from airports to amusement parks."

  • Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Production of “On Beckett”

    • 03/03/2026
    • 6:30 PM - 10:00 PM
    • Klein Theatre, 450 7th Avenue NW, Washington DC 20004

     Join us for the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Production of “On Beckett”:

    Tony Award-winning actor and master clown Bill Irwin (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Sesame Street) has spent a lifetime captivated by Samuel Beckett. With little more than a funny hat and a podium, Irwin mines the comedy and tragedy of Beckett’s work—including Waiting for Godot, Texts for Nothing, and more—in a nonstop display of jovial verbal and physical comedy that has become Irwin’s signature. Whether you’re encountering the Nobel Prize winner’s writings for the first time or building on a body of Beckett knowledge, the “pure, energizing joy” (The New York Times) of Irwin’s dynamic showcase is not to be missed.

    Time:  Happy Hour at 6:30, Play begins at 7:30

    We have a block of discounted (35%) tickets ranging from $38 to $78.  Call 202-547-1122 and ask for the Cornell Washington block to purchase your tickets.  Happy hour will begin at 6:30 in the reception area.  Look for an area cordoned off for us.
