WEEKEND

Plan AheadNoteworthy events over the next few weeks

Sept. 28 Audra

McDonald

Soprano Audra McDonald is so

close to EGOT status: All she

needs is an Oscar to go along

with her Emmy, two Grammys

and six Tonys. The much-lauded

actress and singer, who was

bestowed with the National

Medal of Arts in 2015 by

President Barack Obama,

makes her first appearance at

George Mason University’s

Center for the Arts, where she

will sing Broadway hits and

American standards

accompanied by a three-piece

musical ensemble. 8 :30 p.m.

George Mason University Center

for the Arts, 44 00 University Dr.,

Fairfax. cfa.gmu.edu. $50-$100.

Sept. 28 ‘Peppa Pig

Live! Peppa’s Adventure’

Let little ones skip nap time in

favor of an afternoon with life-

size “Peppa Pig” characters. The

popular British animated

children’s series is reimagined

as a musical theater live show

with puppets and costumed

characters. In this new

performance, called “Peppa

Pig’s Adventure,” kids can sing

along with Peppa and her

friends, Pedro Pony, Suzy Sheep

and Gerald Giraffe, as they head

off into the woods on a camping

trip. Noon and 3:30 p.m. Warner

Theatre, 51 3 13th St. NW.

warnertheatredc.com. $33-$53.

Oct. 11 ‘The Price Is

Right Live’

If you think you’d be pretty good

at Plinko, put your money where

your mouth is when “The Price Is

Right Live” makes a stop for

multiple shows at the Theater at

MGM National Harbor. The

traveling version (which does not

include TV host Drew Carey) of

the long-running daytime game

show will invite D.C.-area

residents to “come on down”

and test their consumer smarts

to win prizes and cash.

Registration for competitors

takes place at the venue starting

three hours before showtime.

Through Oct. 13. Various times.

MGM National Harbor, 101 MGM

National Ave., Oxon Hill.

priceisrightlive.com. $35-$60.

Oct. 12 Snallygaster

This beloved D.C. beer festival

serves only the “craftiest” of craft

beers, and for its eighth year,

things are getting streamlined.

Instead of the drink tickets of the

past, a flat admission fee covers

unlimited beer and wine tastings.

Choose from approximately

400 brews selected by beer

director Greg Engert, who

maintains the lists at ChurchKey,

Bluejacket and other

Neighborhood Restaurant Group

outposts. VIP ticket holders get

access to Snallygaster two hours

before the gates open for general

admission, for those who want to

get to the rare beers first. 2 to

6 p.m.; VIP access begins at noon.

Pennsylvania Avenue between

Third and Sixth streets NW.

snallygasterdc.com. $50 general

admission; $100 VIP.
