Gotta Do, Georgetown: Gotta Eat, Gotta Watch, Gotta Drink

Goings on this week in and around Georgetown.

There's lots to do in and around Georgetown this week, and you can see a full calendar of events (and add your own events) here.

But let's concentrate, for now, on eating, watching and drinking, just because.

Creative Dining: Monday, Nov. 4, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Join CB2 Georgetown (3307 M Street, NW) for an exciting dining experience celebrating creativity with Matt Hill, the innovative Chef de Cuisine at Bryan Vollaggio's Range, and CB2's favorite blogger Girl Meets Food's Mary Kong-DeVito.

Your $50 ticket includes dinner and drinks, plus 1-hour parking validation, and all proceeds go to help children struggling with hunger through Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign. Tickets are limited!


Appropriately, "Appropriate": Monday, Nov. 4 (through Dec. 1), 8 p.m.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company presents, "Appropirate." In this searing and audacious comic drama, the estranged members of the Lafayette family return to Arkansas, and their crumbling old plantation home, to settle the accounts of their recently deceased patriarch. As they sort through a hoarded lifetime of mementos and junk, they discover a gruesome relic that sends the family spiraling into a dark history of repressed memories and family secrets.

Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins returns to his hometown of Washington, DC with a production that appropriates a classic trope—the great 
white family drama a la O’Neill or Tennessee Williams—to brilliantly subvert 
our assumptions, and challenge us to re-consider our own histories and souls.

Wednesday through Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 3pm & 8pm, Sunday at 2pm & 7pm. There will be no performance on Thursday, Nov. 28, Thanksgiving.

Scottish Georgetown: Thursday, November 7, 7 p.m.

Celebrate Scottish Heritage!

Dumbarton House receives its name from the Rock of Dumbarton, located near Glasgow, Scotland. In 1703, Scottish immigrant Ninian Beall was awarded 795 acres of land of what is now the Georgetown neighborhood and named it after his homeland. Join us for this evening to explore the Dumbarton House's Scottish connections with a guided tasting of 5 different scotch whiskeys representing different regions of Scotland. Admission: $30
