28	29 Dramathon 2024 Dramathon 2024 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm April 29, 2024 Don't miss your chance to perform alongside some of DC's best actors in readings of brand new plays by leading playwrights! The Dramathon is tons of fun for a great cause, and it's one of our MOST EXCITING events of the year. All funds benefit our Send a Kid to Theatre Camp campaign, which provides scholarships to children and teens for our summer camps and institutes. All you have to do is raise a minimum of $100 by April 12. The Dramathon performance returns in person this year on Monday, April 29. Participants will meet area directors, actors, and playwrights in a one-of-a-kind performance experience - with no previous acting experience and no memorization required! The first step toward the Dramathon spotlight is to register online. We'll set up your donation page, and then your friends, family, colleagues, and community will help you raise money for a great cause. The more scholarship money you raise, the better the roles you will be assigned to play. Once you're cast, you can then invite your family and friends to the event on April 29 for an evening of fun and entertainment.

The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with celebrated classic songs, including “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage.
