Slut-shaming is rampant in contemporary culture, be it in casual conversation or political discourse. The creators of SLUT: The Play, which first played off-Broadway and makes its D.C. debut at the Warner Theatre, aim to end that by sharing their empowering work with audiences around the nation. Originally conceived by teenagers participating in the Arts Effect All-Girl Theater Company, the play tells the story of Joey, a 16-year-old girl who is assaulted by high school classmates at a party. When the men are arrested, rumors start flying and more young women question their actions moving forward. House of Cards creator Beau Willimon, whose show has its own brand of interesting sexual politics, sponsors this presentation with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

The so-called “upwich” is made a la Seinfeld with two muffin tops—no “stumps.” The $4.99 dessert comes in two flavors: chocolate chip muffin with vanilla ice cream and double chocolate muffin with vanilla ice cream.
