WEEKEND

Plan Ahead Noteworthy events over the next few weeks

Sept. 7 Rosslyn Jazz

Festival

A Houston-based big band with

appearances on “Late Show with

David Letterman” and NPR’s Tiny

Desk concert series on its

résumé headlines this year’s

Rosslyn Jazz Fest. Hear the

Suffers play what it calls “Gulf

Coast Soul” at this free outdoor

festival, which also brings in food

trucks and a pop-up beer and

wine garden. The day’s lineup

includes D.C. go-go musicians

JoGo Project and two New

Orleans acts: funk band Cha Wa

and cellist Leyla McCalla.

1 to 7 p.m. Gateway Park, 1300 Lee

Hwy., Arlington. rosslynva.org. Free.

Sept. 10 Leslie Jones

Here’s a chance to see Leslie

Jones’s coming Netflix stand-up

special way before it starts

streaming in 2020: The

“Saturday Night Live” cast

member will film her set in front

of a live audience at the

Warner Theatre. “I picked D.C.

out of all the cities because D.C.

got one of the best comic

crowds,” she explained during a

recent appearance on “Jimmy

Kimmel Live” The ebullient

Jones, who was a stand-up comic

for years before she joined SNL in

2014, is performing two shows;

the 7 p.m. one is already sold out.

7 and 10 p.m. Warner Theatre, 513

13th St. NW. warnertheatredc.com.

$37; 7 p.m. show sold out.

Sept. 17 ‘Cats’

If you were intrigued, rather than

frightened, by the CGI-heavy

trailer for the new movie version

of the classic musical “Cats,”

you’re in luck. The national

touring version of the Andrew

Lloyd Webber musical is

stopping at the Kennedy Center

this fall, well before the movie

starring Jennifer Hudson, Idris

Elba and Taylor Swift hits

theaters in December. The

costumes for this show devoted

to a feline tribe look as intricate

as the movie’s so-called “digital

fur technology.” Through Oct. 6.

Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW.

kennedy-center.org. $49-$149.

Sept. 21 H Street

Festival

The festivities go on for

11 blocks during the H Street

Festival, one of D.C.’s most

popular neighborhood

celebrations. The Saturday

event is expected to draw a

crowd of 150,000 to the

H Street Corridor in Northeast

for performances from local

musicians, artists and dancers

on 14 stages. Shop for

something handmade at the

festival’s Artist Alley, sample

food and drinks or just take in

the scene from one of H Street’s

rooftop bars. Noon to 7 p.m.

H Street between Fourth and 14th

streets NE. hstreetfestival.org. Free.
