Today, we remember those lost in the Italian Hall disaster. 73 people were trampled escaping a false cry of "fire" at a children's Christmas party.

Out with the @wpcalex cohort tonight to see the new @arenastage Frederick Douglass musical. Missing my @fordstheatre pals during all of Act 2. This makes 3 Douglas/Lincoln story iterations in my DC theatregoing life. If you've seen it, let's chat. ... Then, #Agitate.
