National Union Building

A story about the things we never talk about. But we should. iregretnothingshow.com
I Regret Nothing is a one woman show about the funny, shocking, and ultimately redemptive story of a successful entrepreneur who found herself in way over her head, and couldn't figure out how she got there in the first place. It started with a Jewfro, took a detour to bombing on a comedy stage in NYC, and included a 4am pitstop in the ER with her pants at her ankles. And it gets a little worse from there. You will laugh. You might cry. And you might leave regretting things a little less.
Dates: September 1, 2 &amp; 3, 2026
Venue: National Union Building · 918 F St NW · Washington, D.C.

After the 2024 election, Sarah Longwell—CEO and Publisher of The Bulwark and host of “The Focus Group” podcast—did what she’s done nearly every week for the past eight years: She sat down with voters. She conducted hundreds of focus groups, listening to thousands of ordinary Americans from across the political spectrum with the goal of understanding politics through the eyes of the people who will decide our country’s future.
American voters, and what they want for their country, are at the heart of How to Eat an Elephant. Drawing on her own unlikely political journey from a lesbian Republican operative to the vanguard of the anti-MAGA movement, Longwell offers an explanation of how we got here and presents a playbook for building a coalition to defeat authoritarian populism for good, one that’s designed to appeal to the most important but overlooked people in the country: the voters themselves.
She answers the question: How do you eat an elephant? One voter at a time.
Longwell will be in conversation with Kara Swisher, host of “On with Kara Swisher” and co-host of the “Pivot” podcast. She’s editor-at-large at New York Magazine, co-founder of the technology website, Recode, and the author of Burn Book: A Tech Love Story.

Washington experienced an unprecedented rise in prostitution during and after the Civil War.
During this period, Pennsylvania Avenue became DC's most notorious red-light district, from the ramshackle "boarding houses" of Murder Bay to the glamorous pleasure houses of Marble Alley, all within sight of the Capitol. Also, a new profession for women was rising, that of the "female lobbyist." This tour will introduce you to some of the most notorious women of mid-19th Century DC. The route starts at the Willard Intercontinental and travels down Pennsylvania Avenue, which was the main thoroughfare along which DC's red-light district arose. The tour ends at the National Museum of the American Indian.

In the 1980s, the Reagan Administration was reinstating the Selective Service, hippies were turning into yuppies, and the punk scene rose as a reaction to what they saw as a conformist, soulless government. While punk is often associated with London, New York, and LA, there was a substantial scene in DC that had anchors in downtown and elsewhere. The original 9:30 Club and other spaces were the venues where bands like Minor Threat and Bad Brains got started before going on to world renown. On this tour, you'll discover what made the DC punk culture distinct from others, the major contributors to the scene, and its lasting impact on the local music scene today. Tour begins outside of the F and 7th Street Exit of Gallery Place Metro Station (red, green, and yellow lines) and ends at the MLK Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G Street NW DC. This tour includes stops at iconic punk landmarks and a chance to learn about pivotal figures and their influence on punk rock.

Pearl Street Warehouse

The ASCAP Foundation, under the leadership of President Paul Williams and Executive Director Patricia Leonard, partners with the DC Jazz Festival, headed by President &amp; CEO Sunny Sumter, to support the next generation of jazz creators for a fourth year.
The 2026 DC JazzFest will take place September 2-6, 2026, supporting DC250's celebration of the nation's 250th anniversary through the quintessential American art form. This year's lineup features The ASCAP Foundation Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award recipient Hannah Marks alongside jazz's most influential players, from Kurt Elling &amp; Yellowjackets to Lisa Fischer. Marks will take the DC JazzFest stage at Pearl Street Warehouse, 33 Pearl Street SW, Washington, DC, on Saturday, September 5 at 4:15 p.m. "As we commemorate 250 years of America, there is no better way to celebrate than by supporting the emerging creators who are shaping the future of one of our nation's most storied art forms," said ASCAP Foundation President Paul Williams. "We are honored to partner for a fourth year with DC Jazz Fest to champion the next generation of jazz composers."
"Jazz is a living art form, sustained by extraordinary artists who honor its rich legacy while boldly shaping its future. At The ASCAP Foundation, we're proud to support creators throughout their artistic journeys, which is why our partnership with DC JazzFest is so important. Providing this opportunity to one of our Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award recipients reflects our shared commitment to the future of jazz," said The ASCAP Foundation Executive Director Patricia Leonard.
The Hannah Marks Quartet features Marks on bass, Jonathan Paik on keyboard, Mark Valdes on drums and Max Light on guitar. Earlier that day, Marks will join "ASCAP FOUNDATION CONVERSATION: NEXT VOICES," a free "Meet The Artists" discussion at DC's Arena Stage. She will also be a featured guest on "VERSED: The ASCAP Podcast" in August.
Marks, recognized on DownBeat magazine's 2026 Critic's Poll Rising Star Bassist list, is a bassist, composer and educator living in New York City. She leads a risk-taking acoustic jazz quartet and has showcased her music at the Detroit Jazz Festival, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, 80-35 Music Festival, Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival, Iowa City Jazz Festival and Indy Jazz Festival.
Produced by Jason Moran, her second album, Feed the Fire, was released in June 2026 on Endectomorph. Marks' debut album, Outsider, Outlier (2023), is an explosive rendering of her search for belonging and empowerment. Citizen Jazz called it "…a very mature record from a young artist with very strong ideas who does not hold back anything." Trumpeter Marcus Printup has praised her "fresh, modern, and original approach to playing the bass."
Marks tours internationally with NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater's project "We Exist!" and has performed with Geoffrey Keezer, Nasheet Waits, Terri Lyne Carrington, Anna Webber, Miles Okazaki, Ingrid Jensen, Kalia Vandever, Matt Wilson, Ted Nash, Morgan Guerin, Marcus Printup and Sasha Berliner. Her discography includes Geoffrey Keezer's Grammy-winning "Refuge," Amanda Ekery's Grammy-nominated Arabé, Kristen Lee Sergeant's Falling, and Heartland Trio's Year One.
The Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Awards
The Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Awards were established by The ASCAP Foundation in 2002 to encourage gifted jazz composers up to the age of 30. The program carries the name of trumpeter and ASCAP member Herb Alpert, recognizing The Herb Alpert Foundation's multi-year financial commitment to this unique program. Recipients, who receive cash awards, are selected through a juried national competition.

Emerging NYC Jazz Composer, Bassist And Educator Hannah Marks To Perform At DC Jazz Festival On Sept

Come on a winding journey through an era in which the U Street neighborhood of Washington, DC was giving rise to a vibrant jazz scene and establishing the roots of a new movement in black intellectualism.
Also known as "Black Broadway", the U Street corridor was where the big names in jazz came to play at one of the dozens of clubs and theaters, and hobnob with writers and thinkers such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alain Locke. Tour begins at the historic Howard Theater at 620 T Street NW and ends at the corner of S and 15th Street NW. The tour also makes a halfway stop at the famous Ben's Chili Bowl for a bathroom break and optional refreshment.
