Bell Wringer | Pinky Swear Productions Hootenanny or horror show? Ghost story or get-together? Find out for yourself at Pinky Swear’s Bell Wringer! This totally one hundred percent very made up version of the Bell Witch legend features a bluegrass band and a few songs. So why don’t you sit a spell and watch? Maybe after- ward you can tell us what happened to the Bell Family! 70 MINUTES | Arlington, VA Wed 7/12 7:45 PM | Sat 7/15 7:00 PM | Fri 7/21 6:00 PM Sat 7/22 8:30 PM | Sun 7/23 3:00 PM Brunch with the Boys | Sean Pflueger Five guy friends gather for cocktails and waffles while their sassy wait- ress plays matchmaker. This all-LGBT cast will spill the tea and sing their hearts out to an original score. Anything but bottomless, like a mimosa this story’s a little sour and a LOT of sweet. CONTAINS NUDITY & PROFANITY 60 MINUTES | Fairfax, VA Thu 7/13 6:00 PM | Wed 7/19 6:00 PM | Fri 7/21 8:00 PM Sat 7/22 1:00 PM | Sun 7/23 11:15 AM #Charlottesville | Voices Festival Productions A tour-de-force performance about the power of witnessing, con- structed from interviews with residents of Charlottesville impacted by events surrounding 2017’s “Unite the Right” rally and counter-protests. Award-winning performance artist, Priyanka Shetty, was away that August and could only decipher the trauma through Twitter. She returns to interview, assessing the personal toll, while following up from recent trials of the co-conspirators. 75 MINUTES | Washington, DC Fri 7/14 8:00 PM | Sat 7/15 5:00 PM | Sun 7/16 2:30 PM Drown the Muse | (Um)Laut Productions Drown the Muse explores the relationship between performer and self. Following Zoë and Hannah, Drown the Muse chronicles two artists lost in a sordid sea of doubt, ambition, fear, and success. Both comedic and tragic, Drown the Muse borrows imagery from the Greeks to weave a tall tale fit for them. Content warning: Depictions of abuse, mental illness, and panic attacks. 75 MINUTES | Washington, DC Fri 7/14 6:00 PM | Sun 7/16 8:30 PM | Sat 7/22 4:45 PM Sun 7/23 1:00 PM
