Parking in Shirlington - An Invitation to an Open House



Join Arlington Economic Development for an Open House!

Arlington Economic Development (AED) will host two open houses for the community to learn more about parking in today’s thriving urban village of Shirlington.

Arlington County staff will present an overview of parking and other transportation options in Shirlington and will be available to field questions and receive comments.

Two public open houses will be held to accommodate the schedules of both Shirlington businesses and community members: a late afternoon open house (3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.), and an evening open house (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.). You can stop by any time during the open house sessions to learn more and offer your comments. Scheduled presentations will occur from 3:45 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. and again from 6:45 p.m. – 7:15 p.m.

This is an open forum about parking in Shirlington. Everyone with an interest in parking within Shirlington is encouraged to attend. The open house is free but, to better accommodate you, we would ask you to e-mail us if you plan to attend the 3 p.m. session or the 6 p.m. session.

March Free Community Events at Signature Theatre


BROWN BAG THURSDAY: MARCH 3

Composer JOSEPH THALKEN
 
Thursday, March 3
1 – 2 PM
Signature Theatre's Mead Lobby

The curtain is about to rise on And the Curtain Rises, Joseph Thalken's new musical and the third commissioned work in Signature's American Musical Voices Project. Thanks to a generous grant from The Shen Family Foundation, Signature launched the project in May 2006. The initial Musical Theatre Composer grants were presented to Michael John LaChiusa (Giant), Ricky Ian Gordon (Sycamore Trees), and Joseph Thalken. The premiere of Thalken's new work will begin previews at Signature on March 17.

Emerging composer Joseph Thalken burst into the world of musical theatre with two impressive premieres: Harold & Maude: The Musical with book and lyrics by the legendary Tom Jones, based on the cult film favorite, and the musical adaptation of Geoff Ryman's celebrated novelWas, originally developed at Lincoln Center Theater. Thalken was one of the many young composers who collaborated with lyricist Mark Campbell on the innovative songcycle Songs from an Unmade Bed.

Thalken's And the Curtain Rises looks at a musical theatre birthing process fraught with confusion, disorder, and a whole lot of humor—much like the creation of a modern musical! The show is a classic backstage comedy loosely based on the creation of the first exclusively American musical.
 
Explore the journey of composing a musical with Joseph Thalken and get a preview glimpse ofAnd the Curtain Rises before the curtain rises in Signature's MAX Theatre. Join us and bring your lunch if you like—refreshments are welcome.

Brown Bag Thursday is part of Signature Theatre's Community Event Programs. There is no charge, and no tickets or reservations are required.

7 – 8 PM
Arlington Public Library, Shirlington Branch
4200 Campbell Avenue
 
For over nine years, Sara Jaffe has been a valued, respected and admired member of the Signature family.  She recently has left Signature to become the Vice President of the Northern Virginia Community Foundation.  As Director of Development, Sara broadened and deepened relationships between Signature Theatre and the community. She created and implemented fundraising strategies to increase the organization's visibility and support from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and manages a variety of Patron Services issues. Under Sara's direction, Signature raised $10.3 million (exceeding its $7.5 million goal) for the new building and grew Signature's donor base from 500 to well over 2,000.  
She was also the force behind planning and implementing Signature's annual Sondheim Gala.  Sara worked closely with the Signature Board of Directors, staff, and key volunteer leaders to advocate and achieve the fundraising goals and mission of the organization. Her experience in strategic planning, research, cultivation, special event planning, and close relationships with the philanthropic community have been instrumental to Signature's growth and sustainability.

Sara holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with distinctive honors in Theatre and Dance from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. An avid tennis player and visual artist, Sara resides with her husband and their daughter Hannah in Arlington, VA.

Get a behind-the-scenes look from one of the experts at one of the most important and challenging components of non-profit theater: fundraising. Donations will not be solicited, but all questions are welcomed and will be answered. So bring yours and join Sara on Monday, March 7.
