 | |  The Korean Culture Center Join the Korean Cultural Center (KCC) on Saturday, May 5 to celebrate global culture during Passport DC's Around the World Embassy Tour! Each year in May, dozens of embassies open their doors for this special city-wide celebration of international culture. The KCC offers a full day of free performances and activities designed to help visitors learn about Korean food, art, dance, fashion, music and more. In June, visit the center again to enjoy the exhibit Artistic Records, which features the art of four Korean artists. | |  |  Dead Men's Hollow Concert Beloved local band Dead Men's Hollow returns to the Congressional Cemetery Chapel for two final shows – one early, one late – before the award-winning Americana/bluegrass group ends its 17-year run. On March 24, 2018, catch DMH's early or late show. All tickets are $20 each. Beer and wine are available at a cash bar for pre-show happy hours from 6 to 8:30 pm. Arrive early to secure your seats and grab a tasty beverage (or two) for the concert. |  Translations Set in Ireland circa 1833, Translations is a rumination on the power of language. The British army arrives in County Donegal and begins drawing new borders and translating local place names into the King's English. As a result, disagreement, violence and even romance collide in this compelling play by master Irish playwright Brian Friel. The show continues at Studio Theatre through April 22. |  To Dye For: Ikats from Central Asia Ikat is a popular type of fabric made in Central Asia. The word means "to tie" in Malaysian, which is appropriate for the technique used to make ikats: threads are carefully patterned by binding and dyeing before being woven together. Ikats have been increasingly used by designers, resulting in items from couture gowns to T-shirts to sofa coverings. This exhibit at the Freer|Sackler galleries will display roughly 30 ikat hangings and coats, showcasing the technical wizardry and historical prominence of the fabric. See this exhibit on display through July 29. | | Friday, March 23 Theater - Hold These Truths Arena Stage Concert - Luce Unplugged Community Showcase: Governess and Antonia Smithsonian American Art Museum Tour - Haunted Georgetown DC by Foot Exhibit - Vanishing Traditions: Textiles and Treasures from Southwest China The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum Exhibit - Beyond Words: Book Illustration in the Age of Shakespeare Folger Shakespeare Library Saturday, March 24 Theater - The Wiz Ford's Theatre Exhibit - Viewfinders Hill Center Event - Botanical Cocktail Complements: Herbal Tonics, Bitters, Shrubs, and Sodas U.S. Botanic Garden Exhibit - Women House National Museum of Women in the Arts Sunday, March 25 Tour - Blossoms on the Tidal Basin DC by Foot Exhibit - Visionary: Viewpoints on Africa's Arts Smithsonian National Museum of African Art Event - HERSTORY: Fierce, Fabulous & Feminine Double Nickels Theatre Company Exhibit - The Plane of Tomorrow, Today!
