Livestreamed DJs at TTT
When: Fridays and Saturdays, 9 p.m. – 1 a.m.; Sundays 4-8 p.m., starting Sept. 4
Where: TTT, 2900 Wilson Blvd., Arlington (Clarendon)
The classic and cucumber margaritas are fan favorites at this Mexican hotspot, and they taste better with music.

Playlists will be posted on the restaurant’s website.
The Tempest at Synetic Theater
When: Through Sept. 7

If you missed Synetic’s cinematic, live-stage adaptation of the Shakespeare classic in 2019, you can now stream the performance, and it’s a spectacle to behold. When the magical and powerful Prospera (played by Synetic co-founder Irina Tsikurishvili) conjures a storm, she gets more than she bargained for as romantic drama, deception and quests for vengeance emerge from the depths. Pay-what-you-can pricing is in effect, with tickets starting at $5.

Fall for the Book Festival
