Sherry Truhlar of Red Apple Auction will conduct the live auction—which in addition to event ticket sales and sponsorships, will raise funds to provide direct support to local programs including:
Turning Point Center—Founded in 1999, Turning Point Center is a transitional housing program meeting the needs of young homeless mothers and their children in the heart of Northwest Washington, DC. The program is open to women between the ages of 18 and 24. In addition to a safe and secure living environment—including fully furnished living quarters during their stay—the mothers receive independent living and life skills, encouragement to complete their G.E.D and beyond, and secure meaningful employment during the course of the program. Turning Point Center provides expert case management and skilled staff members to empower young mothers to take control of their lives.
Camp Happyland—For more than 50 years, this sprawling 220-acre residential camping facility in Central Virginia has offered activities for kids including outdoor swimming, fishing, paddle boating, arts and crafts, hiking, zip-lining, archery and more. Every summer, The Salvation Army gives 400 local children, mostly from low-income families, the opportunity to spend a week at Camp Happyland, providing them the opportunity to learn while having fun and fellowship away from the hustle and bustle of Washington, DC.
Anti-Human Trafficking Program—Founded in 2017, The Salvation Army National Capital Area Command’s new Anti-Human Trafficking Program provides a 24-hour emergency response, with a residential component that includes comprehensive services designed to bring restoration to women and men who have been exploited. The program offers a 24-hour hotline and intake process, emergency transportation to the shelter, emergency beds for adult victims, a comfortable living environment in a secure and undisclosed location and specially-trained staff to work with victims and survivors.

Cultural Capital: 19: The Musical
Monday–Wednesday, Nov. 25, 26 and 27, 7–9:30 p.m.
NMWA hosts the world premiere of 19, a musical telling of the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Inez Milholland and all of the suffragists who fought to get women the right to vote—the 19th Amendment. The inspirational story of these fearless women is brought to life through jazz, traditional musical standards style, spoken word, hints of gospel and dance. The suffragists and their fight for equality have been reimagined for a new generation with a poignant and uplifting message. In an age when women’s rights are again front and center, the time to tell the story of 19 is now. Please note: the Nov. 25 showing is a live recording. Reservations required. $50 general; $45 members, seniors, students. Register online.
A “rousing, ovation-generating musical, full of history and dance, 19: The Musical is the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, and the other suffragists who fought to win American women the right to vote nearly 100 years ago,” (DC Metro Theatre Arts). Locally-based creators, Jennifer Schwed and Doug Bradshaw (Jules & James, A Dream Within A Dream, The Upside of Iris) and Charlie Barnett (Saturday Night Live, Weeds, Royal Pains, and Archer), bring the inspirational story of these fearless women to life through jazz, spoken word, hints of gospel, and expressive dance.
Creators Schwed and Bradshaw bring together a talented and diverse ensemble cast including Katie Ganem (Imagination Stage), Millicent Scarlett (Washington National Opera Summer Institute), and Debora Crabbe (Shear Madness, The Dog in the Manger). We follow as these inspiring women face an unjust system, that employs violence, humiliation and imprisonment, yet they eventually overcome the odds, but not without the inevitable sacrifices to their psyche and in some cases, their lives.
“19 is more than a musical, it is part of a movement,” says Schwed. “In an age where women’s rights have finally become an important issue again, and on the eve of the amendment’s 100th anniversary, the time for 19 is now!”
