My Journey to Washington, DC
By Nate Feldman I headed down to Washington, DC from Philadelphia on Friday, February 20, 2026. The purpose of the trip is to take part in an open mic being held by the Theatre Lab, a dramatic arts school in the downtown area. After arriving at Union Station in Washington, DC, I took the Red Line metro to the Farragut North stop. Then, I checked in at the Hampton Inn/White House in the downtown area. In the evening, I went to Theatre Lab, an acting school downtown, which was holding its first monthly open mic night. Many people gathered to put on 5 minute performances of a variety of artistic styles. Some sang, did standup comedy, or read poetry. I, personally, did a scene from the play I am working on called "Camp Doomsday." I also sang "Halloween Night," something I have composed that will be used in the play.
