The Drama Committee is organizing a meet-up for Members and guests to a pay-what-you-can preview of the Washington Stage Guild production of "Sofonisba," a new play with an artistic twist. 

While an RSVP is not required to attend, it is helpful for us in reserving preferred seating.

Interested attendees should be in the theatre lobby by 2:15 p.m. for the 2:30 p.m. curtain if you wish to sit with the Arts Club group.   

"Sofonisba Anguissola left her natal city of Cremona in 1559 to serve as a lady-in-waiting and a painter at the court of Philip II of Spain. There she was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to Philip’s third wife, Queen Isabel of Valois. Sofonisba’s position at the Spanish court represented the acceptance of a female member of the Anguissola family into a royal environment, certainly one of the most coveted positions available to a young woman at the time. The appointment offered, as well, an opportunity for the Anguissola family to gain privileges from the king, as well as to establish relationships that would raise the family’s nobility." — Cambridge Univ Press
