SUMMARY:An Evening with the Residents: A Comedy Show
DESCRIPTION:Historic Congressional Cemetery is pleased to host a unique comedy program this spring. An Evening with the Residents\, a nod to the affectionate nickname for those permanently interred at the Cemetery\, invites guests to experience an evening of humor that explores themes of remembrance\, mortality\, and the ways we talk about life and legacy\, in only the way that some of DC’s top comedians can. The program continues Congressional’s commitment to death awareness\, encouraging open\, approachable conversations about death awareness in a historic setting dedicated to memory and community.\n\nWe hope that you will join us for an Evening with the Residents on Friday\, April 3rd!\n\nFlexible Rain Plan \nThis event is designed with a flexible rain plan and will proceed rain or shine. Two ticket tiers are available:\n\n\n$20 Lawn Seating: Outdoor seating on the chapel lawn if weather permits. In the event of rain and a pivot indoors\, guests who purchase this tier will receive a refund due to limited chapel capacity.\n\n\n$25 Guaranteed Seating: Lawn seating in fair weather\, with a guaranteed spot inside the chapel if the event moves indoors.\n\n\nIf the show is outdoors\, make sure you bring your blankets and low lying chairs\, as the seating will be in a grassy area. \nPlease note: there is no rain date. In the case of inclement weather\, the performance will move into the chapel.\n\nBuy Tickets \n\nFeatured Comics: \n \n  \nSamson Shete is a stand-up comedian from Columbus\, Ohio\, now based in the DMV area. He was passed at the Columbus Funny Bone\, where he hosted and featured for touring comedians. Samson was named Columbus’s Funniest Comic and was also runner-up in the Cincinnati Funniest competition. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeer\, wine\, and soft drinks will be available for purchase.\n\nDoors & Bar Open at 7:00 PM in the HCC Chapel\, with the show scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM.\n\nThe cemetery will be closed to dogs from 6:00pm-10:30pm.

Registration begins at 7:30 AM in the Chapel.\n \nPre Race Packet Pickup: April 8-April 10\, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM  at the Congressional Cemetery Gatehouse. \nCost: $40 for the race ($35 early bird pricing for all reservations prior to February 23!) \nNot only is this a fun race\, but it comes with the good feeling you get when supporting a non-profit! \nWe are unable to offer refunds or race transfers. \nThe Course: \n \nStart and finish are within the cemetery\, and the course goes out on the adjoining Anacostia Trail for a quick out and back. Water is available at the start/finish line and at a water stop around the halfway point of the 5k course. \n \nAwards: \nPrizes will be rewarded for the top individual performers overall and for age group. A prize will also be awarded to the team with the best collective time! Water and snacks are provided to all race participants \nDogs:  \nWe do allow strollers and dogs on this course for registered runners. Keep in mind the cemetery is closed to dog walking for the duration for the race\, but leashed pups running with their registered humans are welcome! In addition\, please keep in mind that all those with dogs and strollers will be asked to start at the back of the group to minimize confusion. Please no retractable leashes! \nChildren’s Race: \nWe are also offering a children’s race prior to the start of the 5k. Participation in the children’s run is free for any child who has a parent\, guardian\, or friend registered for the 5K. Children may still participate\, if no runners are registered\, for a $5 fee. Registration for the children’s race is in our chapel the day of the race and a parent or guardian must sign a waiver. \nAll proceeds from Congressional Cemetery events\, including the Cherry Blossom 5k\, help support our 501(c)(3) organization and fund the preservation of this National Historic Landmark” \nShirts: \nAll Cherry Blossom 5K Registrants who register by the deadline will receive a unisex event t-shirt!\nDid you miss the deadline or want a different type of shirt? Check out our online Bonfire store!\nMore questions?
