Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter,&nbsp;Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse &amp; Guy Bolton&nbsp;and Howard Lindsay &amp; Russel Crouse


New Book by Timothy Crouse &amp; John Weidman
Anything Goes (2022 Revision) is a vibrant, dance-heavy version of Cole Porter's classic musical about romance and mistaken identities aboard the S.S. American, following stowaway Billy Crocker's quest to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her stuffy fiancé, with help from singer Reno Sweeney and gangster "Moonface" Martin, all set to iconic songs like "You're the Top" and the title track, with the 2022 revision updating the book for modern audiences and boosting its dance numbers. 
This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater.
ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.<a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>
The 2022/2021 revival of Anything Goes is generally considered appropriate for ages 10+ and often rated PG, offering a fun, tap-heavy, and witty romantic comedy. While it contains mild adult humor, innuendo, and references to alcohol/smoking typical of the 1930s setting, it lacks heavy violence or explicit scenes

Curious what daily life actually looks like for a family at Washington Waldorf School? Join us for a candid virtual conversation with two current parents at our school as they share their personal experience of the joys of and adjustments to being part of the WWS community.
Whether you’re considering enrollment in our early childhood or elementary school programs, already part of our community, or simply want a real parent’s perspective, this is your chance to ask anything. How do families navigate limited screen time at home? What does the transition from a more traditional kindergarten or elementary school look like? How has Waldorf education shaped their child’s development — and their own parenting? No question is off-limits.
We’ll start with a quick virtual tour of our elementary school and early childhood spaces and have plenty of time for Q&amp;A.

MD Company Solves The DIY Wedding Bar Problem

Chesapeake Bartenders and Events

If you're planning a wedding in Maryland you've probably had this conversation: "We love your bartending services, but we just can't afford $3,000." Courtney Smith, owner of Chesapeake Bartenders and Events, heard that line hundreds of times. After serving 150+ weddings across the DMV, she finally did something about it. She took everything her team does to plan seamless wedding bars and packaged it into a $99 digital guide couples can use themselves. "I got tired of watching couples stress over their wedding bar," Smith says. "They'd find some random calculator online, and I'm thinking, 'That's either way too much or not nearly enough depending on your crowd." The Real Problem: Most couples make the same mistakes: buying wrong quantities, forgetting ice melts faster in summer, not accounting for setup time, choosing glassware that breaks easily. "I've seen couples run out of alcohol at 9 PM because they used a generic calculator," Smith explains. "Or bought $500 worth of liquor they didn't need." What She Built: The DIY Wedding Bar Planning Guide includes interactive calculators that adjust for your actual wedding—time of day, season, guest demographics. It includes a 16-part audio guide and a real wedding case study showing what 155 guests consumed over five hours. The guide answers: - How much does ice melt in July vs November? - Should you buy champagne for toasts? - What's the cost difference between wine bottles and boxes? - How do you set up a bar so guests aren't waiting? Who It's For: Budget-conscious couples, couples whose venues require in-house bartending, or anyone wanting to understand what they're paying for. Smith, who has 20 years of bartending experience and runs three businesses including 1631 Event Venue, says: "Free calculators tell you what to buy. We tell you why, and how to avoid disasters." The guide is available at chesapeakebartenders.com/diy-wedding-bar-planning-guide
