We went to the Naval Heritage Center in Penn Quarter for DC Shorts LAUGHS! to see a special comedy performance followed by one of its short films, to preview the upcoming DC Shorts Festival. We snapped the emcee, comedian Katherine Jessup, doing stand-up for the sold-out theater.
Guests mingled with the performers before the show. Here, NOVA communications professor Shireen Bedi joins Deloitte's Ashley Higgins.
The DC Shorts Festival will run Sept. 8-18, with dozens of unique screenings. Here, US Treasury's Ryan Rogers, Laura Falk, and Tim Naughton anticipate seeing their friend Chris Wood perform.
Biology researcher Celine Petit-Jean, administrator Jeanne Kaplan, lobbyist Liz Hoopes, and international development professional Ann Canavan.
