The Street Stage
Now in its fourth year, The Street Stage is an all-volunteer effort to spotlight what unifies us rather than what divides us by providing a creative outlet for those experiencing homelessness. Each event not only serves as a stage, but also as a way to break down barriers by bringing together artists and art enthusiasts regardless of socioeconomic background.
On Saturday, Nov. 6, from 3 to 5 p.m., the Street Stage will welcome homeless and housed artists from around DC for open-mic performances to include music, poetry, dancing and drama. The event will also feature displays of visual arts, including drawings, photographs and paintings by artists who are currently or formerly homeless. It's all at the Josephine Butler Parks Center (2437 15th St. NW); admission is free. For more information, call 301/233-2911 or send an e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
