The best things to do in Washington, D.C. this weekend

The first special presentation to grace the galleries at the Folger Shakespeare Library after its major renovation, this exhibit is a look at the life and work of Esther Inglis, one of the most influential woman artists you may never have heard of. Inglish, who was alive from about 1570 to 1624, is best known for her detailed decorated mini books, some of which are only about the size of a deck of cards—and many of which are now on display at this new exhibition, which you can view for free. Take a look at Inglis' intricately detailed works and illustrations, and learn more about the social and political environment that drove her to create. 

It’s always a treat when stars take the stage in D.C. Emmy and Tony Award-winner John Leguizamo stars in a play he penned himself about how a Colombian-Puerto Rican laundromat owner deals with his flagging business and family secrets that surface after his son returns home from a mental wellness facility.

Start your Saturday mornings off right with a 60 minutes of guided yoga in a gallery adorned with stained glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (yes, that one).

Every Sunday, Shop Made in DC makes space for crafters of all kinds to set up shop at its two locations (Saturdays take place at Union Market, Sundays in Georgetown). Bring whatever project you’re working on, or sit at the community table stocked with art supplies and let your mind wander.
