The Guitar Studio

One to One and Group sessions for complete beginners to advanced players

The sessions will explore the fundamentals of guitar playing including chords, theory, and soloing.

Washington Theatre Group

Washington Theatre Group is made up of members of different ages, backgrounds, skills and experiences working together to put on a great show.

We welcome and encourage new members to join and take part in whatever aspects of theatre production interests them, but also encourage people to dip a toe outside of their comfort zone and try new things such as painting set, writing a script, acting on stage and controlling light and sound. Everything is important. It’s also a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
