Report shows spike in D.C. homeless families
TRANSPORTATION
Feds order immediate repairs to Metro tracks
Increase comes after it became easier for kids and women to get help
Restaurant will fire 4 after insults by staff CLIFF OWEN (AP)
THE DISTRICT The number of homeless families in D.C. has soared by more than 30 percent compared to a year ago, according to a new federal estimate released Wednesday. For the first time since the annual census began in 2005, homeless families in D.C. outnumbered single adults, a population beset by mental illness and disabilities that has historically loomed as the larger and more intractable problem in cities nationwide. On one day in late January, officials counted 4,667 homeless parents and children, compared to 3,686 single adults. It is impossible to know precisely what is driving the increase but city officials and housing advocates agree that rising real estate costs combined with expanded social services have resulted in more families without a permanent place to call home showing up at city shelters. “We are in the midst of a very serious affordable housing crisis,” said Kate Coventry, an analyst at the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute, a left-leaning nonprofit that wants more government resources devoted to the problem. The surge in homeless families can be traced in part to
ARLINGTON
Mayor Muriel Bowser pledged during her campaign to make it easier for vulnerable women and children to receive District services.
Mayor Muriel Bowser’s fulfillment of a pledge to make it easier for vulnerable women and children to receive city services. Her administration dropped a requirement that families must wait until freezing nights to receive open-ended placements in city shelters or overflow motel rooms. The mayor has proposed spending about $173 million on all homeless-related services this year. That’s more than the city spends to operate all libraries, parks and the University of District of Columbia combined. Amber Harding, an attorney with the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, said the move to year-round access has been a major improvement for families. Under Bowser’s predecessor,
Vincent C. Gray, restrictive city policies kept many homeless people from getting services and tamped down the numbers in the shelters, Harding said. “The increase reflects the fact that this administration is actually funding and serving families who are in crisis,” she said. But she says if Bowser is serious about meeting her goals, funding for homeless services must increase by $200 million, closer to the amount the city spends to run its Fire and Emergency Medical Services department. “You can’t just say that you have a goal to end homelessness, you have to do something dramatic and huge to accomplish that,” Harding said.

Following a weekend confrontation between four diners and their server, the Arlington outlet of the growing Peter Chang restaurant empire decided on a big shake-up. Two wait staffers, a manager and general manager Lydia Zhang, who is Chang’s daughter, have been, or will be, fired after the incident. The diners, three wearing plaid, complained Monday that their check included two insulting comments: “im a plad a------” and “i have a small penis.” Initially, the servers’ hours were cut back, but Chang, above, and his business partner, Gen Lee, ended up firing everyone involved, including the chef’s daughter. “Business is business,” Lee responded when asked if Chang really planned to fire his daughter.

Is biking a better option? A look at the pros and cons of D.C. bike commuting as long-term Metro work looms D.C. to FAA: Corral noisy National flights
2014 data from the U.S. Department of Transportation. That’s probably due to the city’s dedicated bike lanes and trails, Washington Area Bicyclist Association executive director Greg Billing says. “We have some great bike lanes. Fifteenth Street is a national example, a win-win for everybody,” he says. “It has two protected bike lanes that, during rush hour, get around 400 bicyclists an hour.” Of course, safety is just one thing people take into account when deciding how to get around. For Steigerwald, biking is simply the fastest and most reliable way to get to work. That’s why, just six weeks after shattering her elbow, the first-grade teacher got back on her bike. Steigerwald says she’s always been a safe biker, but now she’s being extra cautious. “Since my accident, on days when it’s been raining, I’ve been taking the bus or Car2Go, because I don’t want to risk getting injured again,” she says.
THE DISTRICT D.C.’s attorney general wants the Federal Aviation Administration to reconsider flight paths out of Reagan National Airport that send noisy low-flying jetliners over Southwest Washington. In a letter sent to the FAA on Tuesday, Attorney General Karl A. Racine said the new flight patterns shift early morning flights east of their previous path over the Potomac River. “These new flight paths, implemented in 2015, permit aircraft departing Reagan National to the north to fly over Foggy Bottom, Georgetown University, Canal Road, and MacArthur Boulevard,” Racine wrote in the letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and FAA Eastern Region Administrator Carmine Gallo. “The District residents in those areas have been seriously and adversely affected by the aircraft noise from these new flight paths.” Though the flight paths may have changed, the issue has been around almost as long as National Airport, which opened in 1926 beside the Potomac in the Alexandria area. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., has been concerned about neighborhood overflights for years, urging that they be confined to a pattern that keeps the worst of the noise over the river and that hours when flights arrive and depart be curtailed so that residents below can sleep through the night.

TRANSPORTATION In January, a few days after the “Snowzilla” blizzard hit D.C., schoolteacher Inez Steigerwald, 26, was biking to work down Michigan Avenue NE. Halfway to her destination, she hit a patch of slush. “I lost control and went down straight on my elbow,” she says. “I totally shattered my elbow — two parts completely broke off — and had to get surgery to get it repaired.” Steigerwald didn’t realize how dangerous bike riding was until she got hurt doing it. As it turns out, bikes are the most perilous way to get around, with the exception of motorcycles. That’s worth pondering as thousands of Metro commuters consider their alternatives during the coming “safety surges” of long-term station closures and single-tracking beginning next month. Nationwide, you’re more than twice as likely to die while riding a bike than while riding in a car, per trip, according to a 2007 study led by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention epidemiologist Laurie Beck. Bike riding is also about 500 times more fatal than riding in a bus. Though Beck didn’t run numbers on subway and commuter rail systems, they may be the safest form of transportation of all. Despite a series of well-publicized accidents and maintenance issues, Metrorail and Metrobus reported just two injuries per million riders in 2015. “With public transportation, you have the benefit of professional drivers, frequently traveling in urban settings at lower speeds,” Beck says. In addition to accidents, cyclists face another major health risk: air pollution. Bike commuters inhale about three times as

much air pollution as drivers, according to a 2015 study conducted in Fort Collins, Colo. While accidents and air pollution pose serious risks, bike commuting is still the best choice for your overall health, says Johanna Boogaard, a researcher at the Health Effects Institute in Boston. “Bikers do themselves a great benefit by getting active and healthy,” she says. “Exercise has not only huge cardiovascular benefits, it also helps against depression and other mood disorders.” A 2010 study by Boogaard and her colleagues bolsters that claim. While injuries rob casual cyclists age 18 to 64 of five to nine days of life, and air pollution subtracts between one and 40 days, the benefits of cycling add three to 14 months to your lifespan. In more good news for wouldbe bike commuters, it turns out that D.C. is relatively safe for cyclists, with only 1.5 bike fatalities per million residents, as compared to New York’s 2.4 and Philadelphia’s 1.9, according to

percent of the state’s population. In April, McAuliffe issued an executive order restoring voting rights to all felons who have completed their sentences and been released from supervised
probation or parole. The order also restores their right to serve on juries and run for public office. It applies to all ex-felons, including those guilty of violent offenses such as murder and rape — a point that has particularly incensed Republicans, who have hired a high-profile Washington attorney to explore challenging the executive action in court. McAuliffe has said that the move will advance civil rights and help reintegrate former convicts. Critics among the GOP have called it a political favor to one of McAuliffe’s closest friends and allies, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, who could benefit from higher numbers of minority voters in what has been a crucial presidential battleground state.

Google to ban ‘harmful’ ads from payday lenders TECHNOLOGY Google announced Wednesday that it will ban all payday loan ads from its site, bowing to concerns by advocates who say the lending practice exploits the poor and vulnerable by offering them immediate cash that must be paid back under sky-high interest rates. The decision is the first time Google has announced a global ban on ads for a broad category of financial products. The industry will join Google’s other banned categories of ads, such as counterfeit goods, weapons, explosives, tobacco products and hate speech.
Critics of payday lenders say they hope the move by Google might undercut the business which finds huge numbers of willing customers on the internet. The move also shows the willingness of big tech companies to weigh in on critical policy issues — and exert their power as the gateways for the internet. Facebook also does not display ads for payday loans. But others, such as Yahoo, do. Consumers will still be able to find payday lenders from a Google search. But the ads that appear on the top and right-hand side

Upon hearing that the police commander had been in charge of security during Xi’s visit, the queen said: “They were very rude to the ambassador,” referring to Barbara Woodward, the British envoy to China.

Movie industry is watching trial in Colo. closely CENTENNIAL, COLO. Movie theaters across the U.S. could be forced to adopt costly security measures — and ticket prices could rise significantly — if a jury finds a Colorado theater at fault in the 2012 shooting rampage that left 12 people dead, industry experts say. “I don’t think there’s anything more important in the motion picture industry than what’s happening in this case right now,” said theater-security consultant Howard Levinson. The trial — unfolding in the same courtroom where gunman James Holmes was convicted and sentenced to life in prison less than nine months ago — asks jurors to decide whether Cinemark, the nation’s thirdlargest chain with 338 theaters in 41 states, should have foreseen the possibility of violence. Survivors and the families of the dead are suing because the Century 16 theater in Aurora had no armed guards during the midnight premiere of a Batman film, no security cameras behind the theater where Holmes suited up, and no alarm sounded when he slipped through an exit. Ticket prices, which averaged more than $8 nationally last year, could go up $2 to $3 if a verdict against Cinemark forces theaters to add metal detectors and hire guards, said Tom DeLuca, president and owner of National Cinema Security. That would likely force other theaters to follow suit, experts say. SADIE GURMAN (AP)

Former S.C. officer stays free on bail Indictment: Officer who fatally shot Walter Scott lied during investigation COURTS A white former South Carolina police officer facing a state murder charge in the shooting death of unarmed black motorist Walter Scott will remain free on bail after his indictment on federal charges that include depriving the victim of his civil rights. During a hearing Wednesday in Charleston, S.C., a federal judge made the decision for Michael Slager, who was indicted this week on federal charges that also include obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a weapon during the commission of a crime. Slager, who is free on bail on state charges, will not have to put up any additional bond in the federal case. He entered a not-guilty plea during the federal hearing. A n indictment unsealed Wednesday charges Slager, 34, with obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a weapon during the commission of a crime in the death of 50-year-old Scott. A bystander’s cellphone video captured images of Slager, then a North Charleston police officer, firing eight times as Scott ran from a traffic stop in April 2015. The case inflamed a national debate about how blacks are treated

by white police officers. The federal indictment charges that Slager, while acting as a law officer, deprived Scott of his civil rights. A second count says he used a weapon while doing so. The third count, charging obstruction of justice, alleges that Slager intentionally misled agents of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. “Defendant Michael Slager knowingly misled SLED investigators by falsely stating that he fired his weapon at Scott while Scott was coming forward at him with a Taser,” the indictment reads. “In truth and in fact, as defendant Michael Slager then well knew, he repeatedly fired his weapon at Scott when Scott was running away from him.” BRUCE SMITH AND MEG KINNARD (AP)

93 killed in Baghdad’s bloodiest day this year
ISIS app uses guns, rockets to teach Arabic
KHALID MOHAMMED (AP)
BAGHDAD In the deadliest violence in the Iraqi capital this year, three car bombs claimed by the Islamic State group killed 93 people on Wednesday, demonstrating the extremists’ ability to mount significant attacks despite major battlefield losses. The separate bombings, which also wounded 165 people, came at a time of turmoil and deadlock in Iraq’s government and parliament. The Interior Ministry blamed the attacks on “political bickering” that is increasingly threatening the security of the civilian population. ISIS has lost more than a third of the territory it once held in Iraq, and security officials say they expect that the militant group will continue to attempt similarly devastating attacks in an effort to distract from their setbacks. “This is the worst attack on Baghdad for a long time,” said Saad al-Muttalibi, a member of the Baghdad provincial council’s security committee.

Will they ever get along? Trump, GOP leaders to meet today in hopes of unifying the party POLITICS Donald Trump will be in Washington today for a series of meetings with Republican congressional leaders. The goal, all involved say, is to hasten the process of unifying a fractured party. The reality is that, nice words to the contrary, Trump and those party leaders are likely never to fully achieve that result. W hatever re assura nces Trump might try to offer in the face-to-face meetings could easily be washed away by his determination to keep running the way he has run throughout the primaries, as a political provocateur of no fixed ideology. The meetings are supercharged in large part because Trump and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., have been
sparring since Ryan announced last week that he’s not ready to endorse Trump. For months, Ryan has been establishing himself as the keeper of Republican values and an advocate of positive messaging in the face of a hostile takeover by the renegade Trump. The presumptive nominee has made it clear that he will brook only minimal dissent from GOP officials and has sent conflicting signals about his desire to find true unity with party leaders. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has taken a different approach. He said a week ago that he would support the party’s nominee and told reporters Tuesday: “I think most of my members believe he’s won the nomination the old-fashioned way — he got more votes than anybody else, and we respect the voices of the Republican primary voters across the country.” So which Trump will show up
Update on primaries With primary victories Tuesday in West Virginia and Nebraska, Donald Trump reached 92 percent of the delegates he needs to clinch the GOP nomination, according to AP’s count. On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in West Virginia, but Clinton is 94 percent of the way to the nomination, on track to capture it in early June. (AP)
today in Washington? Will it be the Trump who said a week ago that it would be helpful to meet with Ryan “before we go our separate ways”? Or will it be the Trump who on Tuesday tweeted, “I look very much forward to meeting w/Paul Ryan and the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. Together, we will beat the Dems at all levels!” Trump’s constituency is not that of the GOP leaders. His voters distrust Republican
congressional leaders, almost as much as they dislike President Obama. Trump has had nearperfect pitch with the resentment emanating from a portion of the electorate. Any effort to modulate his style as a way to try to satisfy the wishes of party leaders comes with the risk of lessening the enthusiasm of his core constituency. One thing standing in the way of real unity is the wide gulf between Trump and party leaders on many key issues of Republican doctrine — such as trade, entitlements and the future of the NATO alliance. Those policy differences foreshadow a fight over the party platform when Republicans gather in Cleveland the week before the convention in July. Will Trump choose to push for changes that reflect his views? Does Ryan expect Trump to become more of a true Republican? Either could subject the party to further divisions.

No breaks force poultry workers to wear diapers While concerns about food safety and animal welfare dominate discussions about the perils of the modern food system, the often inhumane conditions facing people who work in the industry are overlooked. A new report by Oxfam America, an arm of the international anti-poverty and injustice group, alleges that poultry industry workers are “routinely denied breaks to use the bathroom” in order to optimize the speed of production. In some cases, according to the group, the reality is so oppressive that workers “urinate and defecate while standing on the line” and “wear diapers to work.” The findings are the result of hundreds of interviews with line workers from some of the largest poultry processing companies in the U.S., including Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s, and Perdue. Today, poultry processing plants are allowed to funnel chickens through their assembly lines at a rate of 140 birds per minute, a rate which the industry recently lobbied to increase by another 35 birds per minute. The speed has been great for business, but for those working on the line, it has made for extremely taxing shifts. “I had to wear Pampers. I and many, many others had to wear Pampers,” one worker told Oxfam, an admission the organization found to be surprisingly common. ROBERTO A. FERDMAN

THREE POINTERS
Braden Holtby agonizes after allowing the overtime goal in a series-ending loss.
Quandary for Capitals How do you improve a team that seemed good enough to finally capture the Cup? CAPITALS Alex Ovechkin, the superstar and captain, tried to sum up what happened after the Capitals lost 4-3 in overtime in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, falling out of the playoffs in Game 6 of the second round, far sooner — again — than they had hoped. “Every year, lots of expectations, lots of great players, but something missing,” Ovechkin said. “This group of guys can do better and bigger than just the second round. We have the best goalie in the league, we have a solid group of guys on the defensive side, all four lines can play well. You can see it.” But the frustration remains: In 11 playoff trips since the franchise’s only Stanley Cup
final appearance in 1998, Washington hasn’t made it out of the second round. The question management now faces is how to improve a team that didn’t seem to need it: Braden Holtby tied the season wins record; the forward corps was deep; a new star had emerged in Evgeny Kuznetsov; and the defense should have been fine when it got healthy in time for the playoffs. Before the trade deadline, GM Brian MacLellan said the club would push for the Cup this season, and then do the same next year regardless of the outcome. MacLellan positioned Washington well. His offseason acquisitions of forwards T.J. Oshie and Justin Williams made the team better, and both delivered
Crucial injury to Alzner Karl Alzner played little after the start of the second period Tuesday, leaving Washington’s defense shorthanded in the 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. Coach Barry Trotz didn’t reveal Alzner’s injury, but said he had been hurt for “a while.” Alzner, a renowned ironman, didn’t miss a playoff game but skated little in recent practices. (TWP)
against the Penguins. They also both hit unrestricted free agency after next season, the same time that Kuznetsov and young winger Andre Burakovsky will be due pay raises as restricted free agents. That’s when Washington will inevitably
experience considerable roster turnover, but going into this offseason, changes could be few. The team has just three unrestricted free agents: Jason Chimera, Mike Richards and Mike Weber. Dmitry Orlov is a restricted free agent, but teams rarely part with those players, so with presumably seven defensemen already on the books for next year, Weber is unlikely to return. With salary-cap considerations, it might be too much to ask for a team’s third defensive pairing to be as good as its top two, but after Washington’s bottomfour defensemen struggled in the postseason, MacLellan’s decision to largely stand pat at the trade deadline can be questioned.

Something to prove at plate Zimmerman, Ramos are trying to repair holes in their game
Harper appeals one-game ban, stays in lineup
Ryan Zimmerman hit two homers Tuesday, a sign of progress amid earlyseason struggles.
“Those balls were loud and hit a ton and on a line, which is what you want to see,” Baker said. Despite his issues at the plate, Zimmerman has made only minor tweaks in his swing. He has been hitting balls on the ground at a higher rate than in the past but is encouraged by another statistic: He is tied for ninth in the majors with a 94.6 mph exit velocity. In other words, he’s had a lot of hard-hit outs.

Spieth returns to action after meltdown at Augusta
Congress begins inquiry into daily fantasy sports
The Players Championship, which starts today in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., will be the first event for Jordan Spieth since he lost a five-shot lead on the back nine at the Masters. At interviews Wednesday before one of the tour’s big events, the questions for Spieth focused on his April 10 meltdown. “I think people have moved on already — at least I thought so until I came in here today,” he said with a smile.(AP)
Congress on Wednesday began a fact-finding mission into the loosely regulated world of daily fantasy sports. Lawmakers at a House hearing were generally supportive of the industry as they explored whether federal safeguards are needed to protect DFS players. “There are reports that 90 percent of payouts were won by just 1 percent of winners,” said Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J. (AP)
“Bad luck, I guess,” he said. “That’s the only advanced stat I like. They make me look good. That’s all you can do: Try to hit the ball hard. And unfortunately sometimes, they go at people.” With his improved vision, Ramos has been a different hitter. He went 2-for-2 Tuesday with two walks, raising his average to .372. The last time he drew two walks in a game was July 2014. But he still had only five walks

NATIONALS The Nationals nearly came back against the Tigers on Tuesday thanks, in part, to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman and catcher Wilson Ramos, two hitters with much to prove this season. In the cleanup spot, Zimmerman has hit the ball hard but with little result. Hitting behind Bryce Harper, he has stranded a large share of runners, and Wednesday night he was dropped to fifth in favor of Daniel Murphy. Ramos had his worst offensive year in 2015 but looks re-energized thanks to Lasik surgery. Zimmerman entered Tuesday’s game with one homer and 12 RBIs hitting cleanup much of the season. After his weekend of stranded runners in Chicago, manager Dusty Baker faced pressure to put another hitter behind Harper. But Baker stuck with Zimmerman on Tuesday, and he responded with two home runs. “I swung at better pitches,” he said. “When you’re scuffling a lot of the times, you go back and you look and you’re swinging at balls.” Baker was very encouraged.
NATIONALS Major League Baseball on Wednesday suspended Bryce Harper and fined him an undisclosed amount for his actions following his ejection Monday, which included returning to the field after he was thrown out. Harper appealed the suspension, so he was eligible to play Wednesday night against the Tigers on Bryce Harper MVP Bobblehead night. Harper was tossed from the dugout in the ninth inning Monday by home plate umpire Brian Knight for arguing a called third strike on Danny Espinosa. After being ejected, Harper shouted at Knight from the dugout and had to be held back by coaches. “Everybody was up on the steps preaching about what they thought was going on,” Harper said after the game. “[Knight] picked me and said, ‘See you later.’ ” Later in the inning, after Clint Robinson hit a walk-off homer, Harper ran out of the clubhouse and back onto the field, which isn’t allowed after an ejection. While in the dog pile with teammates around Robinson, Harper turned and pointed at Knight. Cameras caught Harper yelling, “[Expletive] you!” After the game, Harper admitted he had some choice words for Knight but didn’t back down, still believing Knight had erred.

He’s only human
Comedian Sean Patton often hears the same critique from his peers. “I take too many chances, I kind of go out there and get a little strange onstage,” he says. To him, that’s his biggest strength: “Anyone can get up there and tell you what dating is like. I’d rather take a risk at being unique over just regurgitating what I know you’re going to laugh at.” The New Orleans native and former co-host of Esquire Network’s “Best Bars in America” returns to D.C. this weekend for three shows at the Big Hunt. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) You’ve been doing what you describe as a “solo show” in New York called “Number One.” How does that differ from the standup you’ll do in D.C.? It’s a show centered around one scene. It’s the story of me growing up as a bed wetter. I wrote it just because it was a challenge and because I’ve never been, when it comes to stand-up, so much of a straight setup-punch comedian. I’m much more longform and long-winded. Does it keep things more interesting to switch between stand-up and the solo show? Certainly, but I’ve just never been a comedian who agrees with the concept that your set needs to be concrete — there needs to be an opener, a closer, a bit in the middle. I like changing the order. I find that your bit gets stronger when you change it up. You’re giving it exercise. What are you exercising in D.C.? The hour, which I hope to film later this year, is basically this:
What is my point? You get up there for so many years and you’re just worried about being funny but at a certain point it’s like, yeah, OK, why am I trying to be funny though? What am I trying to make you laugh at? I find the one thing that unites us as all as human beings is our flaw. You can’t hide from it, you can’t pretend like it’s not there. In many ways it’s the thing that drives us all to be better. Or it can bring us all down. It can destroy humanity; it can also save it. I like to celebrate the human flaw, so that is what my hour is about. It’s a lot of very personal stuff. I try to make the world a better place in one hour by exposing my own flaws. You and co-host Jay Larson reportedly quit your drinking and travel show “Best Bars in America” after Season 2. Sort of. We just had creative differences with the show and also it was a very hard thing to keep doing. Everyone loves drinking until it becomes your
“I like to celebrate the human flaw. … I try to make the world a better place in one hour by exposing my own flaws.” job. And I know someone will read that sentence and say, “S---, give me that job.” Please, take it. It really is exhausting. Did you have to detox after the second season? I did not drink for 97 days after shooting ended. I just wanted to see how long I could go. It was hard because I was doing a lot of clubs. I drank every mocktail known to man. It was a good break and when it was over I was like, “OK, I’m ready to get back into it.” I will say, I indeed know my limitations now. My alcohol tolerance, it’s like a cheap wedding: beer and wine only.
You visited D.C. for the show. Is there anywhere you plan to go when you’re back? D.C. is one of the most underrated cities in America, because everyone always associates D.C. with running the country, which duh, obviously. But every time I’ve been to D.C. I’ve had such a good time that I really can’t place where I ever was. I also might be biased because D.C. was the first city I can remember leaving New Orleans to visit. For a school trip? It was with the family and I was 17. Before that it had always been camping trips and the beach but never a major city, and D.C. was the first. So D.C. always feels bigger than it is to me just because my memory is like, wow! I can remember hanging out on the Potomac River, which at the time I called the “Pot-o-matic.” I knew that’s not how it was pronounced but man, was it funny.

At this “Happy Hour,” the first beer’s free and a video game is on the agenda.
a combination of objects can be disastrous, like when an actor dropped a pair of scissors into a fish tank at a “Happy Hour” performance in Switzerland a few years ago and broke the tank, spilling its contents all over the stage, through the ceiling and onto the audience in the room below. But that unpredictability is part of the thrill of game. “It’s always more about the game than the theater,” says Yves Regenass, one of the cofounders of the Berlin-based theater company machina eX, which created “Happy Hour.” Regenass, Jan Philip Steimel and Lasse Marburg were studying theater at the University of Hildesheim in Germany when they came up with the idea to create uniquely interactive theatrical productions.

shows where the theatrics aren’t confined to the stage, the trio (and a few like-minded artists) created machina eX, which has been staging these kinds of productions in Europe and in the U.S. since 2010. “Thinking back to how we played video games as teenagers, even when there was only one person playing, we were always standing up and shouting at each other,” Steimel says. “It was very theatrical. As gamers, we always had this kind of experience, but in theater it happens so rarely, to have this kind of common interaction.” Although “Happy Hour” is fun to play, it also serves as a bizarre sociological experiment. Regenass, Steimel and Marburg like to observe the audience during the show (they’ll do just that
in D.C.) and say they often see leaders and followers emerge on audience teams, as well as people pushing the limits of the possibilities, no matter how physically grueling for the actor. “The psychology of the group is always interesting,” Steimel says. “Feelings of responsibility are sometimes lost because it’s mediated through video. The game constantly oscillates between observing other people, observing yourself and then focusing on the goals of the game.” “It’s deep in experience, but it’s not a deep play,” Regenass adds. “What counts is the experience.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

STAGE Spooky Action Theater’s latest production, “Happy Hour,” offers two abnormalities you won’t find at most stage shows. First, you get a free beer (or soda) just for buying a ticket. Second, and more importantly, you’re in control of the actors. Opening Thursday in its English-language premiere, “Happy Hour” is basically a 40-minute, live-action video game controlled by the audience. The crowd, split into two competing teams of up to eight people each, sits in what looks like a bar with poker tables while video of two actors is streamed live on a wall. (The actors themselves are actually on a set in the next room over.) Each team is assigned an actor avatar and the team members must work together by playing a card game that determines which pairs of objects the avatars can use to find keys that get them into the next room, or level, of the game. The actors, who can’t hear the audience, respond to computerized commands telling them which objects to use. The first team to get its actor through the game wins, and those on the team earn a mystery prize. Although the object pairings are semi-scripted, there are so many possible combinations — like pouring chicken blood into a meat grinder to produce a helpful sausage — that each performance is unique. At times,

Mailroom worker Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) makes it to the top of his office building because everyone thinks he’s an idiot. They think this because he invents a toy that is simply a circle. It was the “hula hoop” and no one has ever heard of it. ‘ENTRAPMENT’: This heist film featured a robbery involving a bank in Kuala Lumpur’s 88-story Petronas Towers. It also involved Catherine Zeta-Jones wearing skin-tight clothing, as most female thieves do. ‘MAN ON WIRE’: This gripping, vertigo-inducing documentary from 2008 tells the story of tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s 1974 nail-bitingly high stroll between the two towers of the World Trade Center. ‘THE WALK’: This 2015 feature film is about what happens to the gripping, vertigo-inducing story of tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s 1974 nail-bitingly high stroll between the two towers of the World Trade Center when director Robert Zemeckis gets his hands on it and makes it boring. ‘THE TOWERING INFERNO’: Oh, everybody wants penthouse views right up until the place catches fire and people start dying. But, you know, sometimes you have to make compromises when it comes to real estate.

Notes on a famine MUSIC Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy knew he was in trouble when he arrived at the Chicago venue and saw a sea of plastic green hats. It was St. Patrick’s Day 2002, and people were clearly expecting to hear some jigs and reels, not the modern classical music Dennehy writes. “They were shocked at the music being produced, they were just shocked,” he recalls. “That was the biggest walkout we ever, ever had at a concert.” Irish music, after all, isn’t all fiddles and flutes. Punk, pop and classical have all flourished on the Emerald Isle. The Kennedy Center’s “Ireland 100:
Celebrating a Century of Irish Arts and Culture” festival, which began Wednesday, is offering a crash course. Among the festival’s innovative offerings is a new multimedia piece by Dennehy called “The Hunger.” The 75-minute opera about the Irish Potato Famine features traditional Irish singer Iarla O Lionaird, soprano Kate Manley and the modern classical ensemble Alarm Will Sound. Large screens on the stage will play video snippets of interviews with Noam Chomsky and other academics. Manley will be singing words written by Asenath Nicholson, an American woman who traveled

around Ireland during the famine to provide relief and record the plight of the starving peasants. “It’s one of the most interesting accounts because it’s written
from an outsider’s perspective, and she’s very sympathetic to the people that she encounters,” Dennehy says. “She tells this one story about a starving man who was barely able to walk,

whose family was dying at home. Somehow he dragged himself to a government aid office, and all he encountered was heartless bureaucracy.” Interwoven with Manley’s singing are videos of commentary from economists, who discuss whether British colonial policies led to the mass starvation. “They’re looking at questions — of charity, inequality, government intervention versus laissez faire economics — that were really important at the time of the famine and are still important today,” Dennehy says. Lionaird represents the voice of the Irish. His part, inspired by traditional Irish ballads, involves plenty of notes that don’t exist in the Western classical tradition. These notes, also known as microtones, are then picked up by the orchestra. That’s no mean feat, says Alan Pierson, Alarm Will Sound’s musical director. To get his 20-member orchestra to play notes that would fall in between the keys of a piano, Pierson created a mobile app to demonstrate the pitches during rehearsals. “Dennehy’s music is almost always ferociously challenging,” Pierson says. “It’s rhythmically very complicated and very precise. And then we have to find notes that aren’t in the usual 12note scale you grow up playing.” What do you get when you put these disparate elements together? A multimedia opera that melds Irish folk songs, modern economics and cutting-edge classical music. It may not have been the green hatters’ cup of tea, but Dennehy’s music is a polymath’s buffet.

Abbey Theatre’s restaging of this classic play, right, which was originally set around the time of the Easter Rising, moves some the action to modernday Dublin and adds in a little cabaret for good measure.

The care and feeding of the Irish language EXHIBITS One out of four people in Ireland claim to speak Irish, but a whole lot of them are lying. That’s according to Manchan Magan, an artist who, in 2006, tried to travel the country speaking only Gaeilge, or Irish. It didn’t go well. “It was so lonely,” Magan says. “You try to go nightclubbing and no one will talk to you. You try to order food in a restaurant and you get the entirely wrong thing.” Gaeilge is in danger of dying out, according to the Endangered Languages Project. If that happens, we’d lose a particularly poetic tongue, one with around 4,400 adjectives specifically for describing people. To save his native tongue, Magan devised “Gaeilge Tamagotchi.” Named for the Japanese toy that makes players raise a virtual pet, his installation encourages viewers to take better care of the language. Visitors walk through a short spiral made from hanging cloth. When they get to the center, Magan hands them a card with an Irish word and definition, practices saying it with them and sends them back out into the world. Some Irish words were too insulting. “People want to be given this encouraging, life-affirming word, so I couldn’t be giving them ‘the afterbirth of a lamb’ or something,” Magan says. That’s too bad, because insults can be pretty darn memorable — and useful. So we asked Magan to share a few good ones with us. S.D.

Scribbling in the round Linn Meyers got to draw all over a circular Hirshhorn gallery’s wall EXHIBITS Have you ever been in a boring meeting and filled a piece of paper with swirls of lines? That’s a little like what artist Linn Meyers did to an entire wall at the Hirshhorn. Using a paint marker, she covered the circular museum’s second-floor inner gallery with whorls and waves. The piece, “Our View From Here,” took Meyers around 500 hours. To cover the 4,800-squarefoot wall, she went through 80 marker tips and 20 jars of ink — and she managed to finish five days ahead of schedule. “There were a couple times when I was working and the wall started to sort of bulge out at me,” she said. “I think my eyes were very tired.” Meyers divided the wall into eight sections, and started each one with a single line that echoes the architecture of the Hirshhorn. One section, for instance, began with a perfect circle that unraveled into gentle waves. Every line Meyers drew paralleled the one before it. Since she worked by hand, little wiggles emerged and become amplified
For her Hirshhorn installation, artist Linn Meyers used around 80 marker tips and 20 jars of ink.
into major wrinkles. In the end, some parts of “Our View From Here” ended up looking quite different from Meyers’ original sketches. That was her plan all along. “The drawings are really a combination of my intent and the unintended elements that happen organically,” she says. The resulting piece, curator Stephane Aquin says, makes clever use of an unusual canvas. “As you move, your perception of the work changes. You never
have a complete conception of the whole thing,” he says. “It’s an experience in knowledge and understanding.” Meyers’ installation is part of the Hirshhorn’s movement toward using the iconic cylindrical building as a canvas. There are plans in the works to do a projection piece on the outside of the museum. In 2018, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bradford will install a massive collage on the museum’s thirdfloor interior gallery wall. That piece, Aquin says, will take the form of a cyclorama, a panoramic painting that provides a 360-degree view. “He’s engaging with the history of the Mall, particularly the March on Washington of August ’63,” Aquin says. The goal is to use the Hirshhorn’s curves, rather than segmenting the space into oddly shaped wedges, as past exhibits have done. “It’s an inspiring building — and these kind of pieces reveal the artistic nature of the building itself,” Aquin says.

Although she’d been writing tunes for Miranda Lambert and Reba McEntire for years, Brandy Clark didn’t see her own star rise until she released her debut, “12 Stories,” in 2013. Now, Clark is preparing for this summer’s “Big Day in a Small Town.” Birchmere, 3701 Mount

New play explores life, legacy of Trayvon Martin
Garth Brooks to perform in NYC for first time in 19 years
Lucasfilm, Disney to launch ‘The Star Wars Show’ online
The 69th Cannes Film Festival opened Wednesday with the premiere of a new Woody Allen film and resurrected sex abuse allegations against the 80-year-old director regarding his adoptive daughter, Dylan. Allen brought his 1930s Hollywood romance “Cafe Society,” along with stars Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg, to Cannes to kick off the French Riviera festival. But just minutes before their press conference, a column by Allen’s son Ronan Farrow was posted online in which he reiterated sexual abuse allegations against his father. Farrow questioned Cannes’ continued embrace of Allen. (AP)
A new play debuting today at Philadelphia’s New Freedom Theatre will explore Trayvon Martin’s life and the moments before his death. “The Ballad of Trayvon Martin” was co-written by playwright and activist Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, who says he could not shake the 17-year-old’s fatal shooting in Sanford, Fla., in 2012. Maharaj wrote the two-hour play six months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in Martin’s death in 2013. The play includes spoken word and dance and explores the dangerous consequences for black boys and men of being perceived as a threat, through the lens of Martin. (AP)
Garth Brooks is set to perform in New York City for the first time in 19 years when he takes the stage at Yankee Stadium this summer. The country star, known for hits such as “Friends in Low Places,” announced Wednesday that he will play at the venue in the Bronx on July 9. His last performance in NYC was in Central Park in 1997. Tickets, at roughly $80 with fees, go on sale May 20. His wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood, will also perform. Brooks returned to music in 2014 after a 13-year break with the album “Man Against Machine.” The 54-year-old is one of the best-selling acts in music history. (AP)
The Force is so strong with the “Star Wars” franchise that Lucasfilm and Disney are producing a weekly online video series about it. “The Star Wars Show” debuted Wednesday on YouTube, Facebook, starwars.com and other online channels. Lucasfilm says the weekly series will celebrate “the franchise, fans and fun of the world of ‘Star Wars,’ ” adding that the show will offer exclusive news, neverbefore-seen footage and behind-thescenes looks at the films, shows and games. The show will be hosted by actor and “Star Wars” superfan Peter Townley and starwars.com digital communications manager Andi Gutierrez. (AP)

CHANHASSEN, MINN. A Minnesota doctor saw Prince twice in the month before his death — including the day before he died — and prescribed him medication, according to contents of a search warrant that were revealed as authorities returned to the musician’s suburban Minneapolis estate as part of their investigation into what killed him. Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg, 46, treated Prince on April 7, the day he canceled his first scheduled concerts in Atlanta, and April 20, the day before he died, and he prescribed medications for the musician, with the prescription to be filled at a Walgreens, according to the warrant, obtained Tuesday. The warrant did not say what medications were prescribed or whether Prince took them. Investigators interviewed Schulenberg and searched a Minneapolis hospital where he worked. No one answered the door Wednesday at Schulenberg’s home, just a few minutes’ drive from Prince’s Paisley Park compound. The house was dark, though a ceiling fan was on inside. Schu lenberg was a pr imary care physician for North
Prince, 57, was found dead at his Paisley Park compound on April 21. The investigation is ongoing.
Memorial Medical Center until at least April 21, but he has since left the job. A spokeswoman for the health care system said she couldn’t comment on why Schulenberg no longer works at the clinic. A law enforcement official said investigators are looking into whether Prince died from an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death. Last week, a lawyer for California addiction specialist Howard Kornfeld said Prince’s team had contacted Kornfeld seeking help a day before Prince was found dead on April 21. Kornfeld had arranged for Prince to be evaluated by a Minnesota physician that same day. It’s not clear whether the physician was Schulenberg. AMY FORLITI AND STEVE KARNOWSKI (AP)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re very interested in the outcome of a conflict that is being played out not far from where you are now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll be able to set aside a few key concerns as you realize that the picture that has influenced you is changing of late. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You mustn’t stop simply because you’ve reached a sensible stopping point. It’s important for you to get as much done as possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Putting your own stamp on what you do comes naturally, but are you sure you want to advertise yourself so openly? WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

Others may be making a game out of something that is of the utmost importance to you. It doesn’t take away from what you are going through.
WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Primary and secondary motivations may conflict, making it impossible for you to move forward as planned. A day off can’t hurt. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re only going to attract criticism if you insist on finding fault with others. Save it for another time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re far too interested in the what and when, and not enough in the why — which is what really counts.
TODAY: The overnight drying trend will continue through the day, although we can’t rule out some mist and an isolated shower. What’s more, cloudy skies and an easterly breeze will remain as highs near 72. A cold front will approach from the west, perhaps fast enough to increase chances of a shower tonight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You
must protect your creativity by doing only what you feel moved to do. You mustn’t fall into the trap of doing things out of habit. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Something important could easily pass you by, so you’ll want to pay close attention whenever anything is in transit around you.

must resist the temptation to copy another’s style. You are bound to be found out, and it won’t serve you well. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Preventing others from finding something you wish to keep hidden is only going to distract you from doing what you really should be doing.

After Azealia Banks hurled racist insults at Zayn Malik on Twitter, she found herself in another tweet battle with Disney Channel star Skai Jackson. The rapper has since deleted her tweets, in which she tells Jackson, among other things, “You’re just another little black girl who’s going to be kicked off the Disney conveyer belt.” Jackson called Banks a “Twitter troll” and said she would be praying for her.

Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are dating, Us Weekly confirmed. The actress/comedian behind the “Marcel the Shell” videos announced her split from her husband of three years earlier this month.
