The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announces the relaunch of the Club at Studio K, a cabaret-style lounge concept offering world-class arts and culture in an up-close-and-personal setting. Located in the REACH, the Club will offer performances Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from February through March 2022.

“The Club at Studio K extends the mission of the REACH, offering the kinds of intimate and informal experiences that 21st-century audiences seek out,” said Simone Eccleston, Director of Hip Hop and Contemporary Music. “With the successful launch of our inaugural season, prior to the pandemic, the Club at Studio K has proven itself as a creative ‘hang space,’ and a dynamic cultural incubator where artists and audiences can connect with each other, collectively generating their experience.”

The Club at Studio K, which initially launched in January 2020, is set to safely reopen with a unique and laid-back atmosphere, featuring more than 20 events including local and hometown performances, such as Washington Improv Theater, Story District, and Sounds of the DMV. Other featured performances this season include the Mortified Podcast, Time Machine Roast, the return of Artistic Advisor for Jazz Jason Moran’s Fats Waller Dance Party, saxophonist and bandleader Immanuel Wilkins; and vocalist Georgia Anne Muldrow brings her multi-genre blend of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, electronica, rock and funk.

In March, the Club at Studio K  will celebrate Women’s History Month with RIOT!, a three-night comedy event  featuring Cristela Alonzo, Natasha Leggero, Megan Stalter, Ali Kolbert, Sydnee Washington, Liza Tregyer, Britney Carney, Denise Taylor, and Jenny Questell. Performances highlighting women will continue with Georgia Anne Muldrow and Story District’s Funnier Than Fiction: Real Hot Girl Sh*t.

This season’s shows span the worlds of jazz, hip hop, and comedy, packed with fun and entertaining performances for everyone. A complete calendar is below and online.  Additional performances will be announced at a later date.

About The Author

Dean Rogers

Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter

I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!

My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.

Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.

As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.

All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
