***👑 In a world filled with hate, the King of Pop still dared to hope, to inspire, and to make a difference*** 🕺🏾 **👋 Hello guys!** Let’s hear it for the King of Pop in this upcoming musical biographical drama directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan. The film will follow the life of **Michael Jackson**, with his nephew **Jaafar Jackson** taking on the lead role. Early footage has already drawn attention thanks to his striking resemblance and his natural ability to capture Michael’s iconic stage presence and dance moves. The story is expected to offer a broad and balanced look at Jackson’s life, following his journey from the **Jackson 5** to becoming one of the most famous entertainers in the world, while also touching on the more difficult and complex parts of his story. **The Plan:** is to start out at the **Look Dine-In Bar** (far end, past the box office) for casual drinks and chat. Then we’ll head over to **PX** **Screen 1**, where we'll be seated at **D11-D13**, but you can pick where ever it suits you best. After the film, we’ll regroup for the commentary and **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)**[ ](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)Review. Ultimately, the music is a huge part of building excitement for what’s ahead! **Look forward to seeing you there** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 **drop us a quick message** (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.

## **Vienna Community Center 120 Cherry St SE, Vienna, VA 22180** Come spend an afternoon in Edwardian London with one of the most beloved musicals of all time — *My Fair Lady*. Join Chuck, Tom, and Suellen (who’s part of the production!) for a story full of wit, transformation, and unforgettable music. Follow Eliza Doolittle’s journey from flower girl to high society — guided (and frequently exasperated) by the brilliant, opinionated, and delightfully curmudgeonly Professor Henry Higgins. ✨ You’ll know the songs — and probably find yourself humming along: *I Could Have Danced All Night*, *On the Street Where You Live*, *Wouldn’t It Be Loverly*, *I’m Getting Married in the Morning*, and Higgins’ famously cheeky *Why Can’t the English?* It’s the perfect mix of romance, humor, and sharp-tongued charm — even better when shared with your DTs friends. Tickets are general admission, so we’ll meet at **1:30 PM** to grab seats together before the show begins. **Get Tickets:** [Vienna Parks & Recreation Ticket Page](https://vaviennaweb.myvscloud.com/webtrac/web/addtocart.html?Module=PST&PSTFMIDList=99891628&FromProgram=search&GlobalSalesArea_PSTItemQuantity=1&_csrf_token=ia5U1D656Y0E3J4H3D4Q2L4K6T5K5I446O4T4T4K4K1T5F655H6G075Q4E4T586D573R6O4J6W054E5F55075P4M4Z4P074W5F5W536J6L696D5G1I725W6P4U6N004Z4W)

### Drop-In Improv Class — Beginner Friendly **Improv for good people.** Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly drop-in improv class focused on play, laughter, and connection — in a supportive, no-pressure environment. You don’t need performance experience, improv training, or a “funny personality.” You just need a willingness to try. *** ### What to expect Each session includes: * Friendly introductions * Easy warm-ups * Guided short-form improv games * Lots of laughter in a small, welcoming group The exercises are inspired by shows like *Whose Line Is It Anyway?*, but the focus is on participation, not performance. *** ### A few important reassurances ✔ You don’t need to be “funny” ✔ You don’t need improv experience ✔ You *do* need curiosity and a willingness to play Everything is explained clearly, and you’re never put on the spot. *** ### Who this class is for This class is a great fit if you: * Are curious about improv but a little nervous * Want to meet new people in a genuinely welcoming space * Enjoy playful learning and low-pressure activities * Want a break from overthinking and daily stress Many people arrive unsure and leave smiling. *** ### How Meetup fits in Many participants first discover Laughy Place Improv through Meetup, attend a class or two, and then decide whether they’d like to continue by booking future classes directly through the website. There’s no pressure — Meetup is meant to be an easy, friendly way to try things out. *** ### Location & logistics 📍 **Theatre on the Run** 3700 S Four Mile Run Dr, Arlington, VA Parking and entrance are on the opposite side of the building from Four Mile Run Drive. Use the door labeled **“Arlington Cultural Affairs – Main Entrance.”** Ring the doorbell to be buzzed in. Sunday classes are usually in room 174 and Wednesday classes are usually in room 147, but you can check the class list by the concierge desk to be certain. I’ll be in the room about 20 minutes early to set up and meet folks as they arrive. If you can, please come a few minutes before the scheduled start time so we can kick things off together. *** Looking forward to laughing with you!
