Folger Shakespeare Library is staging a unique romantic comedy titled DC, I Love You: First Dates, where the audience moves along Mt. Pleasant Street to watch performances. The event, happening on May 31 and June 1, merges live theater and community exploration. The production emphasizes local stories gathered from workshops led by artist-in-residence Katherine Harroff, who previously directed a similar show in San Diego. The outdoor performances include vibrant sounds from the surroundings, making the experience immersive and interactive for attendees.
"Some people are probably so annoyed by this, but I just kind of love that it's part of the soundtrack. It's fun to be outside and suddenly the whole world is a part of this."
"The play is created by Folger Shakespeare Library artist-in-residence and director of engagement Katherine Harroff, who first launched the show in San Diego more than 10 years ago, though the DC version has a distinctly local flavor, thanks to romantic comedy writing workshops Harroff ran across the city."
