Chalice Theatre presents the Tony-award winning play Copenhagen, by Michael Frayn, Nov 6-15, 2026, at UUCA, 4444 Arlington Blvd. In Autumn 1941, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, the two presiding geniuses of quantum physics, meet for the first time since the breakout of war. Danish physicist Bohr and his wife, Margrethe, live in Nazi-occupied Denmark; their visitor, Heisenberg, is German. The two old friends, now on opposing sides, have between them the potential to change the course of history. Frayn’s play imagines the three characters re-drafting the events of 1941 in an attempt to make sense of what happened. Run time: 2hr 30min with one intermission. Free discussion panels exploring questions raised by the play accompany the Sunday matinees.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lawyer picked by judges to serve as the top federal prosecutor for a Virginia office that pursued cases against foes of President Donald Trump was swiftly fired Friday by the Justice Department in the latest clash over the appointments of powerful U.S. attorneys.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the firing of James Hundley on social media shortly after he was unanimously chosen by judges to replace former Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. While the law says that the district court may choose U.S. attorneys when an initial appointment expires, the Trump administration has insisted that the power lies only in the hands of the executive branch.

Another winter storm could arrive in Arlington in a few days, but forecasts are still shaky going into the weekend.
As of this afternoon, the National Weather Service is predicting increasing odds of a winter storm warning going into effect on Sunday, and places Arlington at “elevated” risk for heavy snow and sleet.
It took a referee’s warning for stalling to propel Washington-Liberty’s Liam Sloan to a region wrestling crown.
Sloan, a junior competing at 190 pounds, wasn’t having much success before receiving the warning midway through the first period during the Feb. 12 6D North Region high-school wrestling tournament at Centreville High School.
A 58-year-old Arlington man has been found guilty of intentionally striking a bicyclist near Long Bridge Park, but he probably won’t serve time for it.
Samuel Thernstrom was found guilty of two misdemeanors on Tuesday: assault and battery and property damage under $1,000. He faced up to a year in jail but received only a suspended six-month sentence, according to court records.
Arlington Public Schools is warning families to beware of fraudulent emails that use the school system’s branding to collect people’s personal information.
The emails ask recipients to click a link and provide usernames, passwords and other information, APS said in a message to families yesterday (Thursday). They are not real APS communications, but they use the APS logo and may appear to come from the school system.
“The Friends of Arlington’s Planetarium is seeking to fill three vacancies on its 2027 Board of Directors. Interested candidates seeking information and an application can find details at the FOAP Elections web page. The deadline for submission is Nov. 15, 2026.”
