The Marx Brothers in Duck Soup
introduced by Frank Ferrante
Friday, March 2 at 8 p.m.
Preposterous political disregard, buffoonery and cynicism at a time of economic and political crisis. No, it's not a current newspaper headline; it's a description of the great Marx Brothers film Duck Soup. The classic political farce that was banned by Mussolini makes the Capitol Steps look like pale imitators, and you will enjoy it even more with Groucho historian Frank Ferrante's introduction.

American Shakespeare Center on Tour
(formerly Shenandoah Shakespeare Express)
Called “shamelessly entertaining” by The Washington Post, ASC doesn’t just make Shakespeare accessible, it makes it engaging and, yes, even fun. ASC’s endlessly energetic, tremendously talented casts draw the audience into their performances—you can even snag a seat onstage to be truly a part of the action. Their briskly paced interpretations typically last two hours… after all, brevity is the soul of wit. Don’t forget to come early and hear the cast play everything from The Beatles to Weezer in a musical pre-show.
