If you’re planning an exterior home renovation in Fairfax, VA in 2026, you’re in good company — demand for outdoor upgrades across Northern Virginia continues to grow as homeowners invest in curb appeal and long-term value rather than relocate in a competitive market.

In its mission to interrogate both the classics and the current days, Avant Bard Theatre proudly presents the final weekend of “The Two Gentlemen of Killarney,” an adaptation by Séamus Miller (“Coriolanus,” “The Margriad”) at Gunston Arts Center – Theatre Two.
The play is a timely immigrant love-comedy with live Irish music. Adapted from Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” the story follows friends-turned-rivals from Ireland to America during the Great Famine, blending Shakespeare’s wit with traditional Irish tunes and delivering a rollicking and dynamic celebration of love, immigration, and humanity. All performances are free to APS students and federal employees affected by the DHS shutdown (just show ID); all Saturday matinees are Pay-What-You-Can.

“I love that The Village School preserves childhood through play,” says Avani Cheriathandum, a parent of two students at the school. “In an area so focused on achievement, it’s refreshing to find a school that recognizes the unique and critical role of play in a child’s development.”
At The Village School, we believe that play is not just a break from learning, but an essential part of it. While many schools have been cutting back on playtime in favor of more academic instruction and structured activities, we’ve taken a different approach. All of our learners (in PreK-8) enjoy an average of 2 hours of daily playtime – and the results speak for themselves.
