Norton to Give Thanks to D.C. Military and Their Families at Arena Stage Thanksgiving Dinner and Show, Tonight

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will offer her gratitude at the Arena Stage's Fifth Annual Military Thanksgiving to more than 200 District of Columbia-area wounded warriors, service men and women, and their families, who will enjoy dinner and a performance of Oliver! tonight, Friday, November 27, 2015, at 5:30 p.m., at Arena Stage (1101 Sixth Street SW). Norton thanked Arena Stage Artistic Director Molly Smith and Arena Stage for sharing first rate live theater with members of the military and their families in D.C. and the region.

"Many often thank our military women and men when they see them in uniform, but tonight we show them our gratitude with dinner and a show, courtesy of the Arena Stage," Norton said. "Our community's wounded warriors, servicemembers, and military families alike sacrifice so much for our nation while the rest of us go about our daily lives. Thanksgiving is a special time to be thankful for all we have received, particularly we who live in the nation's capital and this region, where there are so many military bases and so much protection for all of us."
