Guests are invited to Macy’s Metro Center to celebrate the magic of the holiday season at its annual window unveiling. Customers will experience an evening of cheer at Macy’s Holiday Market featuring festive shopping, treats, live entertainment, and a special appearance by Santa who will reveal this year’s themed windows. The evening will include musical performances by Natasha Bedingfield and other surprise guests with more fun inside for the little ones where they can enjoy arts and crafts and take a photo with Santa.
The theme of this year’s windows is “Believe In The Wonder.” The six windows located on G Street will be centered on the joy of sharing holiday season festivities with those we love. Generations of visitors will find variations of their own holiday traditions mirrored in the windows; each featuring a cast of enchanting characters sharing the spirit of the season in Washington, D.C.

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!”
