| |  | | |  Wandering Docent LLC Most visitors spend less than a minute viewing pieces of art at the museum. Wandering Docent helps audiences better understand art so they spend more time appreciating paintings, sculpture, ancient ritual objects, medieval era-luxury items, and ordinary trinkets from various cultures, regions, and time periods. The company provides educational, entertaining, and enriching tours and lectures on a variety of topics that may be structured specifically for your group. The services are available to art lovers of any age. To learn more, see descriptions of their tours and lectures on their website. | |  | |  ACM Anniversary Mardi Gras Family Day Celebrate the Anacostia Community Museum's 50th anniversary this Saturday, February 10.

With 10 Tony nominations including Best Musical, Something Rotten! is set in the ‘90s – the 1590s! This hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Rob McClure and Broadway's Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare (Adam Pascal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer says the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first MUSICAL! See this production at the National Theatre through February 18. | |  Ocha and Wagashi: The History of
Japanese Tea & Sweets! Learn about the history and culture of ocha (tea) and wagashi (sweets) through this sensory exhibit at the Japanese Information and Culture Center (JICC). The wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets that portray the seasons with their shapes, colors and ingredients. They are works of art designed to appeal to all the senses. Tea has been enjoyed in Japan for nearly a thousand years. Learn about both through this exhibit, which was produced with the award-winning Japanese confectionery Matsukawaya and tea company Myokoen. It is on display through March 2. | |  Friday, February 9
