Supporting the Arts with Night at the Theater
Sunday, April 13, 2025
The Crystal City-Pentagon Rotary Club (CCPRC) recently attended a performance of the thought-provoking play Chicken and Biscuits, showcasing their support for the arts. Club members Steve Leisge, Peter Anderson, and Sue Walia, along with two friends, enjoyed an evening of theater at the First Stage.
The play, a 2015 hit from London's Royal Court, explores the complexities of justice and human nature through a gripping story line. The talented cast includes Lolita Horne, a three-time Helen Hayes award recipient and former Rotary Club speaker. Horne's impressive career includes performances at Arena Stage and other prominent area theaters.
One of the four areas of focus of the Club this year is arts and culture, along with education, veterans, and environment.
By attending the play, the CCPRC members demonstrated their appreciation for the arts and their commitment to supporting local cultural events, while also raising over $100 for the club. The evening was a wonderful opportunity for socializing and enjoying a stimulating performance.
