THEATER: Studio Theatre’s
The Motherf***r With the Hat has been extended through March 24.* The play has been recommended by the Helen Hayes Awards and, as its
title maybe implies, is a bit racier than what usually makes its way through DC. The
play features “very strong language, adult content, nudity, and simulated drug use”
as it follows Jackie, an ex-con, try to stay sober and in a healthy relationship.
For more details, read Sophie Gilbert’s review. Tickets ($42 to $75) are available
online. 8 PM.
Wednesday, March 6
DRINK: Artini feature night heads to the Passenger, which has arguably the best mixologists in the city. Alex
Bookless stirs up concoctions based on Antonio Canova’s iconic Venus statue. Hopefully
the drinks aren’t concrete-flavored. Free. 6 PM.
Thursday, March 7
FILM: The
DC Independent Film Festival opens Thursday at the US Navy Memorial Theater. Things start off with a screening

the male gender. Afterward, there’ll be a reception with beer, wine, other reception-y
things. Tickets ($15) are available online. 6:45 PM.
