Norton to Appear in Shakespeare Theater’s Annual “Will on the Hill” Performance, Tonight

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), an annual performer in the long-running comedic event “Will on the Hill,” hosted by the Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC), will appear in the performance tonight, June 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW). This year’s play is Heavy Lies the Head, an original play written by Peter Byrne. All proceeds from the event go toward STC’s artistic, education and community outreach programs.

“‘Will on the Hill’ is a D.C. classic that gets Members of Congress and other politicos out of their shells and engaged with the arts in the District,” Norton said. “Its best foils are the Members of Congress who appear on stage and must read from a script making fun of themselves. ‘Will on the Hill’ is one of my favorite evenings of the year because it makes us laugh while supporting arts programs that benefit our local communities.”
