Register here. |  |  | Passport DC@Home--Coming to Your Computer Screen We couldn't let another May pass without engaging with Washington's diplomatic community and celebrating International Cultural Awareness month in the District of Columbia. While the pandemic prevents us from producing the used-to-be-annual embassy open house program, many embassies have curated a collection of videos that feature the tourist attractions people travel thousands of miles to experience. If an online cooking demonstration can't fully fill your cravings, we'll introduce a new feature next week that we think you'll find pleasing to your palate. It all starts on Saturday, May 1. Oh, and if you can't wait until next May to visit an embassy, put an "X" on your calendar on Saturday, October 16, 2021 because if health officials permit, we'll hold an autumn version of Around the World Embassy Tour. |  |  |  |  |  | Wednesday, April 28 Museum of the Bible Lunch and Learn: The Bible in America Pop Culture | Thursday, April 29 DAR Museum Tour of the Period Rooms: Women at Home in Early America |  | | Friday, April 23 Shakespeare Theatre Company Shakespeare Hour LIVE! featuring Claire Danes | Friday, April 23 The Hamilton Live Vanessa Collier | Sunday, April 25 Russian Chamber Art Society Tea Time with Vera: A Celebration of Jewish Music | Monday, April 26 Georgetown University Okinawa Field Trip | Tuesday, April 27 Woodrow Wilson House Speaker Series: Philip Zelikow, The Road Less Traveled | Tuesday, April 27 Embassy of Austria Austrians in the United States: Meet Foreign Minister Schallenberg | | Thursday, April 29 Yunus Emre Institute Ancient Wonders Lecture Series: Pergamon |  |  |    |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Saturday, May 1 Art Jamz Virtual Art Class: Paint Like Frida | Saturday, May 1 Embassy of Argentina Washington DC Tango Festival: Forever Piazzolla |  |  | Tuesday, May 4 Hill Center Family Style Series: Jackfruit Tacos | Thursday, May 13 DC Jazz Festival Jazz at The Corner featuring Chris Grasso Quartet |  | Newsletter for April 22 to April 29, 2021.
