Yes, We entertain America but our mission is to educate the next generation of Americans on where we have been and prepare them for where they must go… Together Howard Theatre Restoration, parents, and the business community are demonstrating that the Arts, is the much needed catalyst for accelerated growth in STEM achievement. HTR is dedicated to revealing all the sciences embedded into The Arts. and are the foundation of every performance on its stage. Our mission is to educate our community that Arts education is a key to creativity, and creativity is an essential component of innovation, and innovation is necessary to create the competitive industries needed in the future. The future of the US economy rests on its ability to be a leader in innovation. HTR recognizes competence in STEAM is essential in creating new industries and jobs that will be the heart of the US new economy. Where the US has historically ranked 1st in innovation it now ranks between 3rd and 8th depending on the survey. The ARTS is the key ingredient for restoration to our rightful place as the leader in innovation. HTR is taking steps to reverse this slide in the Washington Area by embracing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, The ARTS, and Math) education. STEM is based on skills generally using the left half of the brain and thus is logic driven. Much research and data shows that activities like Arts, which uses the right side of the brain supports and fosters creativity, which is essential to innovation. Clearly the combination of superior STEM education combined with Arts education (STEAM) should provide us with the education system that offers us the best chance for regaining the innovation leadership essential to the new economy. Our Mission is to Preserve, Protect, and Proclaim the legacy and genius of the world's most influential form of cultural expression…the African American Entertainment Experience in the form of Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, and Classical music. Further, it is to ensure the impact on current and future generations by serving the community through integration of arts into Science Technology Engineering and Math at the Howard Theatre. Our vision is that Howard Theatre will be the premier arts and education venue that leverages art for the empowerment of all people. The situation of black people from the early 1900s created the need for the first theatre in America built and operated exclusively for black entertainers and their fans. During Segregation and the Jim Crow laws The USA constitution and federal law declared that everyone was equal. But southern states passed the Jim Crow Laws, which reinforced segregation. The ignorance of these laws meant that white people and black people had to live separately. The areas of society affected by segregation included churches, hospitals, theaters and schools. Therefore, black audiences and their performers had their separate shows. Thus The Howard Theatre became a necessity. Many of the brightest stars in entertainment called The Howard their home. It was where the performing genius of a people clashed with the ignorant of a culture and its laws. Most of The Howard’s first 104 years dubbed this history house as an icon for both the stage for artistic liberation while doubling as the ultimate boundary for creative expression. Fortunately for the world this constriction had phenomenal but , for some, unintended consequences. The crucible of artistic talent transformed a culture that once attempted to contain it. The country, and the world’s performing arts would never be the same. Therefore, just as the ignorance of a failed mindset and its laws sought to limit the genius of a people during The Howard’s first 104 years, The Howard Theatre today is now ideally suited to become the catalyst for educational enlightenment for all people for the next 104 years. The Howard’s legacy makes it uniquely qualified to showcase how the benefits of education become transformative when the ARTS take center stage in education. It is settled science that when the ARTS and the-all important-STEM disciplines are combined, This STEAM Education approach brings functional literacy to all people in today’s economy. This is the restorative mission of The Howard Theatre Restoration, Inc. (don't understand this first sentence) The need for STEM education is clear. What will it be if implemented without the arts? We are living that answer now. Howard Theatre Restoration is committed to three audiences, each holding a key to our country’s future. 1. Our Children Ages K through 12. They are the primary benefactors HTR’s STEAM Initiative. The entertainment Industry has already captured the hearts and imagination of our countries youth.

Showing them that there is science, technology, engineering and mathematics in every song that sing, performer they love, and toy they crave. HTR is committed to helping every child develop an attraction for STEM through the ARTS.

All Souls is a corner bar. We’re not a sports bar, a gastropub, a wine bar, a speakeasy or a restaurant. We will be none of these things, yet we will have something for everyone. You will be able to find the craft beers of a gastropub and the interesting labels of a wine bar. If you prefer a cocktail it will be crafted with care and attention to detail. The food will be simple, but elevated, not your typical bar food. And you’ll be able to enjoy all of it while listening to good, eclectic music or watching the game quietly playing in the background. With over thirty years experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, our experiences range from serving beers in small bars to working alongside James Beard Award winning chefs. We have done it all from washing dishes to running multimillion dollar restaurants. Our experience working in restaurants is where our concept originates. The basic premise of All Souls is to take restaurant quality service and adapt it to a bar setting. Attention to detail, friendliness and a commitment to serve the highest quality drink and food are the heart of what we want to do.
