Glen Echo Park

A Note From the Partnership Dear Friends, Welcome to our Winter 2021-22 digital catalog. Winter is the perfect season to get creative! Sign up for one of our holiday workshops (pages 8, 9, 20) or take a class in a new art form. Many of our classes are back in person, but we still have some virtual classes for those who are more comfortable continuing with online activities. For restless kids during the winter, we offer so many options! Washington Conservatory of Music’s Musical Imagination Station, Young Yukes, and private music lessons will bring out the musician in any child (page 13). A sampling of other classes for kids includes: Animal Art and Poetry workshop (page 9); Making a Valentine’s Box, a parent/child workshop (page 8); and Traditional Irish dance classes for students starting at age 5 (page 10). Social dances have returned in-person and continue through the winter in the Spanish Ballroom, Bumper Car Pavilion, and Ballroom Back Room. Dance styles that are back include swing, waltz, tango, and more. To see what’s coming up check out our calendar. To find unique gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list, visit our annual Holiday Art Show & Sale in the Popcorn Gallery and Stone Tower Gallery. Paintings, photographs, pottery, hand-made jewelry, ornaments, and more will entice you to shop – supporting the Park and local artists is a bonus! Other visual arts studios and galleries in the Park will also offer creative gift options. Stop by the Stone Tower Studio to see artists in action who bridge the representational and abstract approaches to artmaking (page 64). Our award-winning children’s theaters welcomed audiences back in the fall, and their programming continues with winter productions that include the Puppet Co.’s Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins from November 17, 2021– January 2, 2022 and perennial holiday favorite The Nutcracker celebrating its 32nd Anniversary from November 26, 2021-January 2, 2022 (page 15), and Adventure Theatre MTC’s Adventure’s Winterfest from November 18, 2021– January 2, 2022 is a world premiere of three short plays showcasing the work of three local writers giving their take on holiday magic as we celebrate the season of family, friendship, and winter fun (page 16). During this recovery period we continue to move into more normal operations, but the health and safety of our staff, instructors, partners, and patrons is still a top priority. We will always follow Montgomery County mask and social distancing requirements when they are in place, and many programs within the Park have their own Covid-19 guidelines in place as well. You can find mask and vaccination information on our Coronavirus Updates page. As a nonprofit organization, we still face difficult losses from the pandemic, and we greatly appreciate the financial support of the community. Please continue to support the Park with your contributions! If you can give, a donation at any level will help sustain the park and lead us into the future. It’s easy and quick to give online or text to give (Text “gepgive” to 202-858-1233). We hope you will continue your creative learning with us on site or online this winter and that you will #stayconnected! Stay well and creative,

Katey Boerner, Executive Director

Glen Echo Park

Service transferred management of the Park’s arts and cultural programs, as well as its historic buildings, to Montgomery County, which in turn created the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, a nonprofit organization, to oversee the Park.

Glen Echo Park is one of the finest cultural resources in Montgomery County. It is home to 14 resident artists and organizations, a thriving social dance program, a restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel, numerous art studios and galleries, and hundreds of classes in visual and performing arts, including ceramics, painting, photography, glass, music, dance, and more. These activities, as well as free summer concerts, festivals, and special events, bring thousands of visitors to the Park each year.

From 2003 to 2010, extensive renovations of the Park’s facilities took place under the direction of Montgomery County and the National Park Service with input from the Partnership and resident organizations. These renovations were funded with major federal, state, and county resources as well as private donations. Renovations included the Spanish Ballroom, the Dentzel Carousel, the Puppet Co. Playhouse, the Arcade building, the Yellow Barn, Adventure Theatre, the Candy Corner, the Chautauqua Tower, the Ballroom Back Room, and the Caretaker’s Cottage. The Hall of Mirrors Dance Studio was renovated in 2014.

The site was first developed in the 1890s as a Chautauqua retreat but soon became the premier Washington area amusement park, serving the community until 1968. In 1971, after the amusement park closed, the federal government acquired the land in order to preserve the Potomac Palisades and prevent development along the river. The management of the Park was assigned to the National Park Service, which established the core of the current arts program. In 2002, the National Park

After our theatre doors have been closed for more than a year, we’re gearing up to reopen for in-person performances and events just in time for the Halloween season! Under new management and presenting a mix of tried and true Legacy productions and brand new Premiere productions, we can’t wait to see you!

What are Legacy and Premiere productions, you ask? Well, as we hope to reimagine and expand what you see at the Puppet Co., we also want to honor where we came from. So, Legacy productions are the shows created and performed by our founders, who retired in July of 2020. You’ll see the shows you know and love, like Wizard of Oz, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker, and so many more! Premiere productions are the new shows we’ll be creating for you! You’ll see additional puppetry styles, new stories, and hopefully see yourself in some of the characters on stage.

Ticket Prices for MAIN STAGE productions:

Out of an abundance of caution for our littlest patrons, we are planning on waiting to reinstate some of our programming. Classes will come offline and be in the theatre again, though at smaller class sizes. Tiny Tots will be back in December on a smaller schedule, and will return in full in the spring. At this time, the birthday room is not available for rental until 2022.

Tickets are $7 and are required for all patrons 2 and up and for little ones who are starting to crawl or walk. Please help us make sure there’s enough space for everyone when you’re considering if your child needs a ticket.

Adults and Children 2 Years and Older: $15

Adults must accompany children under 8 years old! Group rates (per person) are available with advance reservation through the Box Office: • Groups of 20 or more: $9 • Groups of 50 or more: $8 • Groups of 100 or more: $7

301.229.5585 glenechopottery.com Glen Echo Pottery is a fully equipped studio that specializes in high temperature reduction firing with a year-round schedule of daytime and evening classes. Ceramic classes afford a unique opportunity to explore the exciting medium of clay. The process includes forming works by hand or on the potter’s wheel, selecting and applying glazes, and experimenting with firing techniques. Instruction is geared to the level of the individual student and is provided in an environment that is relaxed and informal, yet creatively serious.

Sign-up for open studio hours is strictly managed through a Glen Echo Pottery on-line system. New students will receive an orientation to the sign-up system during their first week of class.

Our teaching philosophy and friendly atmosphere enable students to express themselves freely at their own pace and become active members of the pottery community. For students who wish to take a wheel class but have never thrown on a potter’s wheel, we offer guided instruction for beginners in our Monday evening and Saturday morning classes.

Additional Fees For adult classes, tuition does not include clay or tools that may be purchased from the instructor at first class. Clay Fees: For adult classes, tuition does not include clay that may be purchased from the instructor. For teen classes, clay is included in the tuition.

For more information on our full range of classes and how to enroll, please visit the Glen Echo Park website (glenechopark.org) and click on “Classes and Camps”.

Meet our Glassworks Team With almost 50 years of combined glassworking experience, our Glassworks teachers have personally guided thousands of people through the exciting process of blowing glass. Our focus is to give each student an in-depth experience of what it’s like to work with molten glass. We work in small groups to step you through the entire process of gathering, shaping, and blowing glass in our 2000° furnaces. Paul Swartwood, Resident Artist/Director Paul was first introduced to blown glass in 2000 at Salisbury University, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2002. After working as a team leader at Simon Pearce Glass in West Chester, PA, Paul moved back to Maryland and discovered his love for teaching all levels of Glassblowing to whomever may want to learn. Paul has taught and demonstrated in many studios over the last 20 years, but Glen Echo Park will always be his home base. Philip Valencia, Glassworks Faculty With a fantastic enthusiasm for teaching, Phil draws in students with his immediate energy. Teaching all levels of students, he masterfully guides everyone through the many steps needed to experience the material. When he’s not teaching, you can see Phil at a wide variety of venues, demonstrating and entertaining the crowd with his passion for glass.

Revels uses performance, education, and community engagement to revive, sustain, expand, and celebrate cultural traditions — in music, dance, storytelling, and drama — that bind people together in spirit and joy. We strive to illustrate the world’s common humanity, connecting all people in a community that stretches across ethnic, cultural, and religious divisions, and through time.

Find show times and ticketing information at our website at: revelsdc.org Email: info@revelsdc.org This holiday, join Washington Revels for a homegrown celebration of the Winter Solstice that honors our shared American roots through music, dance, and story. It is December 1870 in Washington, DC, and in the elegant parlor of Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels, the first African American to serve in the U.S. Congress, the household is preparing for a party! Hiram and his wife Phoebe have invited colleagues and friends from near and far to celebrate the season and to look ahead to a new year.

WASHINGTON REVELS

With joyous carols, traditional melodies, heartfelt spirituals and toe-tapping dances, guests from all walks of life meet under the Revels family roof. In the midst of this camaraderie the merrymakers also take care of their Yuletide community — welcoming a traveler with an urgent request, seeking out a lost love, and comforting a melancholy man longing for the joy of the season. Together, all who enter Senator Revels’ home share the hope that long years of national struggle are in the past; remember those who have gone before; and take joy in reunion with loved ones who were separated for many years.

WASHINGTON REVELS

After our own months apart, Washington Revels invites you to ring in the holidays with a Christmas Revels featuring local artists, the Washington Revels Brass and the Washington Revels Jubilee Voices. Whether you revel with us in-person or from the comfort of home, we will celebrate the Winter Solstice in a uniquely American way with the stories, music and traditions that bring us closer — Welcome Yule!

Glen Echo Park Carousel 100th Anniversary

Spanish Ballroom, Bumper Car Pavilion, and Ballroom Back Room

One of the greater Washington, DC area’s true treasures, the historic Glen Echo Park Dentzel carousel is the Park’s crowning jewel from the amusement park era. Installed at Glen Echo Park in 1921, the canopy and the carved animals were made by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a classic example of hand wood carving popular during the early years of the 20th century, and recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The 20-year restoration of the carousel was completed in 2003, and the carousel building was rehabilitated in 201920 by the National Park Service, with additional funding and support from the State of Maryland and Montgomery County. We completed significant repairs to the carousel’s 1926 WurliTzer band organ in 2011. The carousel is closed for the season, but will reopen on April 30, 2022.

National Park Service

Glen Echo Park 301.320.1400 nps.gov/glec For over a century, Glen Echo Park has welcomed residents of the Greater Washington Area. The park’s history of change, though, has led to tension as Chautauqua dreamers, amusement park thrill seekers, and National Park Service preservationists sought to adapt to the needs of current visitors. This affected not only the architectural styles of the buildings, but also the landscape-everything from walkways to parking lots to lighting. Edward and Edwin Baltzley, in 1891, hoped to entertain and educate the District’s urban populace in a National Chautauqua while preserving the site’s rugged natural beauty. The amusement park owners thrilled visitors with exciting rides. Finally, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture have collaborated to provide the public with appealing artist studios and arts spaces while preserving the Park’s diverse history. NPS works closely with the Partnership to preserve the cultural resources at Glen Echo Park. Over the years, this has involved determining whether to preserve, rehabilitate, restore, or reconstruct historic structures. After 130 years, all that remains from the Baltzleys’ Chautauqua of 1891 is a solitary stone tower which is now the restored stone tower, home to the Stone Tower Gallery and artists’ studio. But their idea of a premier green space where visitors could refresh and restore themselves has thrived as a vibrant cultural community to this day.

Carousel Tours Join a park ranger and take a close look at the beautiful Dentzel Carousel which was installed in 1921, fresh from the factory in Pennsylvania. Find out how it was made, how it works, and about the rest of the amusement park attractions that were built around it. Hear about the civil rights protests that marched right into the carousel in 1960. Follow the inspiring story of the community’s efforts after the amusement park closed to raise money to save the carousel for future generations. And, finally, learn how the National Park Service, with donated funds, has restored the carousel to its original glory.

National Park Rangers at Glen Echo Park are now offering free virtual programs to groups of 10 or more. Please contact Ranger Kevin Patti at kevin_patti@nps.gov or 301320-1400 to book a program.

As we uncover the last one hundred years, we will learn of the civil rights protests to integrate the segregated Glen Echo Amusement Park that began with a sit-in on the carousel in 1960. We will learn of the heyday of the amusement park during the streetcar era, the closing of the amusement park in the sixties and the efforts to save the carousel and bring the park into the National Park System in the 1970s. We will also see pictures of the beautiful carousel animals carved by William Dentzel’s carousel company that have now all been carefully restored.

Clara Barton National Historic Site 301.320.1410 nps.gov/clba

“Clara Barton didn’t just dream, she did things, noble things that establish her as one of the most impactful women on the lives of others in all of American history.”—Robin Fisher, Participant, Clara Barton Symposium From her Civil War work to the founding of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton dedicated her life to the relief of suffering. She was the driving force of the American Red Cross for 23 years. Her leadership gave the organization a solid reputation that garnered support and trust. Her influence led to the creation of programs that continue to benefit and support people in need today. Clara Barton – Red Cross Angel, a Virtual Performance by Actress Mary Ann Jung

Interpretive Programs Virtual Presentations about Clara Barton National Historic Site

December 4, 3:00 p.m. Clara Barton was a humanitarian, teacher, Civil War nurse, organizer of supplies, and the founder of the American Red Cross. But, did you know that she was also a woman full of wit, intelligence and conviction? Or that she rode a horse, skirted bullets, traveled oceans, and used cosmetics and hair dye? Award-winning Actress Mary Ann Jung offers an exciting and personal window into one of history’s most famous people in her one-woman, interactive performance.

National Park Rangers at Clara Barton National Historic Site are now offering free virtual programs to groups of 10 or more. Please contact Park Ranger Kevin Patti at kevin_ patti@nps.gov or 301-320-1410 to book a program. Join us as we commemorate the life and work of Clara Barton, heroine of the Civil War and founder of the American Red Cross, in recognition of her 200th birthday in December 2021. Clara Barton broke through the barriers that so often confined women of the nineteenth century to the domestic sphere and had a long career of public service that touched people all over the world. She was an advocate for the expansion of rights for African Americans and women, a pioneer of public education, and the inventor of the first aid kit. She was also one of the first women to work for the federal government. This illustrated talk by a park ranger at Clara Barton National Historic Site in Glen Echo, Md will use photographs from Clara Barton’s life and times to describe her service and the struggles she overcame along the way.

Clara Barton National Historic Site offers visitors the opportunity to see the actress’s portrayal of Clara Barton at 3:00 p.m. on December 4, 2021. The performance will be shown on the Clara Barton NHS Facebook page. Please call for details, 301-320-1410.

Clara Barton National Historic Site Remains Closed Due to Covid-19 Following guidance from the CDC and recommendations from state and local public health in consultation with NPS Public Health Service officers, Clara Barton NHS is temporarily closed.

Refunds are issued according to the following schedule: • Withdrawal 8 days or more prior to class or workshop: full tuition refunded minus a $20 cancellation fee. • Withdrawal 7 days prior to a class and up to 24 hours after the first class: 50% tuition refunded, minus $20 cancellation fee. • Withdrawal 7 days prior to a workshop: sorry, no refund. • Withdrawal more than 24 hours after first class or later: sorry, no refund. • Registration fees and camp deposits are non-refundable. Camp fees are noted in course descriptions. • Course tuition and registration fees are nontransferable. Class Policies: The Partnership and its partners offer non-accredited classes and workshops to the public. Because group cooperation is essential for a successful learning environment, the Partnership reserves the right to remove a student from a class or workshop if an instructor believes, in his or her sole discretion, that a student’s behavior disrupts the learning environment. Students with special needs, or their parents or guardians, should contact the instructor prior to registration to discuss any accommodations that might be needed for successful participation in a group class. The Partnership reserves the right to substitute an appropriate instructor when necessary and to change a program location when needed. Please be mindful of class start and end times. Neither the Partnership nor the instructor are able to provide pre-or postclass care, unless part of a scheduled program. Likeness Release: The Partnership and instructors reserve the right to make recordings (by use of any media) of a student’s work, voice, actions and/or likeness (collectively “Likeness”) and to use such recordings in promotional, marketing or other printed or electronic media communication. In consideration of participating in the class(es), the undersigned, on behalf of herself/himself and his/her child under the age of 18, hereby consents to the making of such recordings and releases the Partnership and its instructors from any and all liability arising out of any recording, use or distribution of the student’s Likeness.
