CC@H is delighted to invite our members and volunteers to attend a showing of the the world premiere of “A Jumping-Off Point" on Thursday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. Round House Theatre is providing us free tickets as part of its program to partner with nonprofit community organizations.

About "A Jumping-Off Point": Leslie Wallace is a promising Black writer who has just landed her first deal with HBO. Her celebration is cut short when she gets a surprise visit from Andrew, a white man from her grad school cohort, who accuses her of plagiarizing his script. Their confrontation—and eventual uneasy alliance—forces a reckoning on representation, privilege, and who gets to tell what kinds of stories. Full of humor and complex characters, "A Jumping-Off Point" is a sharp and electric new play from rising star playwright and screenwriter Inda Craig-Galván, and is part of the National Capital New Play Festival.

Round House Theatre is located at 4545 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Up to 20 tickets are available on a first come first served basis for CC@H members and volunteers only. RSVP required by the evening of Wednesday, April 3.

RSVP by email: info@chevychaseathome.org or phone: 301-657-3115. When you RSVP, please note if you require any ADA seating accommodations.
