"Wake me up, when September ends"
So September was action packed :-)
Beginning with the Kennedy Center's Page to Stage Festival, ending with the DC XIII International Improvisation Festival and a lotta stuff in between. And now, college is definitely back in gear, as you'll see by the number of shows coming up on area campuses.

October is National Arts & Humanities Month:
"Held every October, National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) is a coast-to-coast collective celebration of culture in America. Coordinated by Americans for the Arts, it is the largest annual celebration of the arts and humanities in the nation. From arts center open houses to mayoral proclamations to storefront banners and newspaper articles, thousands of communities across the United States are recognizing the cultural gems all around them."

I'm going to try adding an events section for everything members are doing outside of the area, organized by state/country. Let me know what you're up to!!
Not much else to say this time. However, I was just thinking about the possibility of a DC PAL movie night in December.
"What movie?" you might ask...
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sorry for the delay with the Bulletin...something funky was going on everytime I tried to send it, yesterday.
Until next time,
JR
