BOOKS
Of Lamb, the beguiling-looking new book from poet Matthea Harvey and artist Amy Jean Porter, is purported to be “the mercurial story of a lamb who wants desperately to be human and the human who loves that lamb—-told in more than a hundred short poems and paintings.” Aw! Harvey and Porter will discuss and sign copies of the book at 826DC headquarters at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments to follow. Free.
NUTCRACKER
Itching for some Sugarplum Fairy? You got it. There are at least two performances of Nutcracker tonight: Moscow Ballet’s Russian version at George Mason University and Washington Ballet’s production at Warner Theatre. WCP dance writer Amanda Abrams has a list of other performances for you Nutheads out there.
