Arlington County is advancing Arlington’s Transportation Future, an initiative to create a refreshed transportation plan that will better address the community’s transportation needs; help create a safe, equitable, accessible, easy-to-use, and sustainable transportation network; and guide community investments in the years to come.

Are we on the right path for transportation? The County used community input to develop a draft vision and goals for the next transportation plan. Does the draft vision reflect your ideal future for Arlington? Do the draft goals include your priorities? Is there anything missing from the draft vision and goals? Join the conversation online or in-person to share your feedback!

Avant Bard Theatre proudly presents The Margriad, a compelling adaptation that brings to life one of Shakespeare’s most formidable characters, Queen Margaret of Anjou. Conceived by Séamus Miller, this production weaves together four of Shakespeare’s history plays—Henry VI Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Richard III—to tell the complete, epic story of Margaret’s rise and fall. With seven actors taking on all the roles, and three different actors embodying Margaret at various stages of her life, The Margriad offers a powerful and streamlined exploration of ambition, power, and tragedy. This production invites audiences to experience Shakespeare’s history plays as a cohesive narrative, centered around the indomitable spirit of Queen Margaret.

Free admission to Middle and High School Students and Unjustly fired federal workers. Tickets available here: https://avantbard.org/project/the-margriad/
