Trailer on Youtube:

 Following its acclaimed return to the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Klein Theatre earlier this season, Synetic Theater brings its celebrated adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra to Arlington, continuing performances at the Thomas Jefferson Theatre. Audiences will experience Synetic’s signature approach to storytelling which fuses dynamic physicality, striking visual design, and original choreography to reimagine Shakespeare’s epic tragedy without a single spoken word.

Long regarded as one of Synetic’s most powerful productions, Antony and Cleopatra transforms Shakespeare’s sweeping tale of political ambition and impossible love into a visceral, movement-driven experience. Upon its premiere in 2010, Peter Marks of The Washington Post wrote “With its spectacular rendition…Synetic Theater unquestionably ascends to the first rank of Washington ensembles.” See for yourself Synetic’s stunning synthesis of original music, precision movement, wild acrobatics, and Georgian sword dancing–bringing to life one of the Bard’s most epic tales.

A Letter to Arlington from a guy trying to build something honest

By Drew Cuthill
Drew Cuthill, Co-Owner and CEO of All Team Exteriors.

Hi Arlington,

My name is Drew, and I wanted to take a moment — not as a business owner, not as a marketer, not as someone trying to sell you something — but simply as your neighbor.

This past year, I took a leap that honestly scared me. I challenged the comfortable path I’d been on and built something new with trusted partners and friends: a local roofing and home‑exterior company called All Team Exteriors. On paper, it’s a business. But in my heart, it’s something much more personal than that.

Together we’ve been here decades and this community has shaped who we are. As I thought about what I wanted my next chapter to be, I kept coming back to one simple idea:

I don’t just want to make a living here — I want to contribute something meaningful to a place that’s helped mold me. (more…)

Colonial Beach: Washington’s Potomac Playground

By Carolanne Korolowicz

Image from Colonial Beach: Washington's Potomac Playground

This regularly scheduled sponsored column is written by Carolanne Korolowicz, Arlington-based Realtor and Arlington resident. If you would like to work with Carolanne in Northern Virginia and the greater D.C. Metro area, you can reach her directly at [email protected].

As the snow steadily fell, the temperature continued to plummet, and the ice encased the ground, I couldn’t help but dream of warmer days. Curled up on my couch, I escaped by scrolling Zillow and envisioning myself on a rocking chair with a water view. Deciphering my future vacation home, I thought the following, “Cancun is too distant, Florida’s weather is too unpredictable, and Rehoboth is too crowded…leaving the only option; Colonial Beach, Virginia.”

Though my previous statement is mostly in jest, Colonial Beach is honestly one of the area’s best kept secrets. Located just 85 miles from Arlington, the river town is low-key enough for a day trip and activity-filled enough for a long weekend. My parents recently purchased their get-away just steps from the Potomac River (the body of water that the beach is off of). They have found it to be a reprieve from city-life, a fantastic place to host all ages, and home to a great community of locals, part-timers, retirees and business owners.

Statutes of Liberty: Arrests in Immigration Court Double the No-Show Rate

By James Montana

This sponsored column is by Law Office of James Montana PLLC. All questions about it should be directed to James Montana, Esq., Janice Chen, Esq., and Victoria Khaydar, Esq., practicing attorneys at The Law Office of James Montana PLLC, an immigration-focused law firm located in Falls Church, Virginia. The legal information given here is general in nature. If you want legal advice, contact us for an appointment.

American immigration courts are civil, not criminal. Failure to appear in immigration court is not a criminal offense. If you fail to appear in criminal court, you can expect a bench warrant to be issued for your arrest, and you may later be charged with Failure to Appear. Immigration judges lack the power to order arrest, and failure to appear in immigration court is not a crime. So, how are immigrants incentivized to show up in court? It’s simple. If you show up for your court date, you have a chance of winning; if you don’t show up, you will be instantaneously ordered removed in absentia, and your chances of ever getting the case reopened are slim.

Until recently, therefore, the game-theoretical calculus was simple. The upside of appearing in court was that you might win; if you lose, you might be ordered removed. The downside of appearing in court was that, if you lost, you might fear being arrested and detained. But, again, until recently, the risk of detention at immigration court was slight. (more…)
