Keep Engaged Activities offer by Chevy Chase at Home

Boredom Busters #48
More Fun to Keep You Engaged This Week!
Local theater - Looking for a different way to experience a play online?


Come together on Zoom on Tuesday, March 2nd, 7 pm, for a FREE reading of Israel Zangwill's 1908 hit The Melting Pot, a retelling of Romeo and Juliet that also examines immigrants’ essential role – and dilemmas - in the U.S.

Sign up to read a part – no acting experience required – or just watch and listen to a theater classic that still speaks to us today. Find more information and registration on Theater J's website.

Black history
Watch "The Black Freedom Struggle in Maryland," presented by the Maryland Historical Society and the University of Maryland College Park.
Check out these Black History Month Biographies.

Scientific food for thought...
"Music, Loneliness and Isolation" shows a conversation between Renee Fleming and Dr. Vivek Murthy. This is episode 1 of the Music and Mind LIVE program, a cooperative program between NIH, NEH and the Kennedy Center.

Did you hear that NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover safely landed on the Red Planet? Look back on past Mars exploration with "10 images that reveal what we’ve learned about Mars after decades of exploration" from the PBS NewsHour.


Just for fun...
