| |  | | |  DC by Foot DC by Foot offers pay-what-you-like walking and bus tours of the National Mall and Tidal Basin as well as walking tours through Arlington National Cemetery. The tours have been described as whirlwind performances of history that draw on jokes, stories, anecdotes, trivia competitions, and obscure facts and figures. The guides do their very best to inform and entertain you! | |  | |  Fun Home The groundbreaking, life-affirming and exquisite musical Fun Home was celebrated on Broadway, receiving raves from critics and audiences alike and winning five 2015 Tony Awards including Best Musical. Based on Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir, Fun Home introduces Alison at three different ages as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her childhood. A refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes, Fun Home is at the National Theatre through May 13. | |  Forty Out Of One Million: The
Human Cost of the Syrian War Berlin-based photographers Kai Wiedenhöfer and Daniel Sonnentag portray the human impact of the Syrian conflict. Their works, which approach the subject from different points of view, are being exhibited at the Goethe-Institut and Gallery Al-Quds to highlight this humanitarian crisis. See Kai Wiedenhöfer's forty portraits of Syrian war-wounded in towns, villages and refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon between spring 2014 and 2015. By showing the aftermath of this ongoing war, Wiedenhöfer shows people who are in need. Wiedenhöfer's work will be at the Goethe-Institut, along with two pieces from Daniel Sonnentag's exhibition They Have Names, on display through June 16. | |  Friday, April 21 Event - Friends and Fashion: An American Diplomat In 1820s Russia
