Happenings at the Harman
All events are held in the Forum of Sidney Harman Hall at 610 F St.
NW, Washington, D.C. Performances begin at noon. Reservations not required.
There is no better time to discover new art than in the middle of the week. There
is no better place to do so than at STC. Join local artists for Happenings
at the Harman at noon every Wednesday from September through June. Bring
your lunch and we will bring your shot of culture.
Each week’s performance features a different type of performance. With
musicians, dancers, actors, puppeteers and genre-mixers you are sure to return
to work inspired and excited.
All performances are FREE and reservations are not required. Performances
will last less than an hour to ensure you the perfect lunch break.
