Glen Echo Park

A Note From the Partnership Dear Friends, Summer has come and gone, and fall is in the air. This is a great time of year to remember that school is not the only place to learn! At Glen Echo Park we offer hundreds of classes each year in visual arts, social dance, music and movement, and more. This catalog is full of possibilities!

Silverworks and Glassworks will resume classes in the Fall after 16 months of closure due to Covid-19. At Glassworks, try the Discover Glassblowing workshop to get a taste of this unique artform, or sign up for other beginning and intermediate classes. At Silverworks, start a silver journey with Beginning Silversmithing, or continue your journey with courses like Jewelry Expressions and All Day Beading Workshop.

Other courses we are resuming in person include Washington Conservatory of Music’s Encore Chorale and Encore Rocks. Yellow Barn Studio and Photoworks will continue to offer both in person courses as well as virtual. Yellow Barn offers a wide array of classes in painting and drawing – 70 in all! – and Photoworks also offers classes that serve budding photographers to professionals.

Our award-winning children’s theaters will welcome audiences back to their theaters this fall! Adventure Theatre MTC presents in-person performances, including LUCHADORA! by Alvaro Saar Rios from September 17 to October 31. The Puppet Co. will resume in-person performances as well, including Wizard of Oz, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker.

We are excited to announce that social dance returns to the Park this Fall with in-person dances in the Spanish Ballroom, Bumper Car Pavilion, and Ballroom Back Room. Join us for a FREE Social Dance Showcase over Labor Day weekend on Sunday, September 5, in the Bumper Car Pavilion to kick off our Fall dance program. Dances presented in the Fall will include swing, contra, waltz, tango, and more! We also will resume some social dance classes, including Beginning Swing Dance.

We hope you will join us for our major fall events, including the Carousel 100th Anniversary closing event to end our months-long celebration of the carousel’s birthday! You can purchase carousel tickets and find more information here.

Also, over Labor Day weekend we celebrate another milestone – the 50th Anniversary of the Labor Day Art Show!

The weekend will also include an Open House for classes, and the Social Dance Showcase mentioned above.

As we move into more normal operations this Fall, please note that we will always follow Montgomery County mask and social distancing requirements when they are in place. The health and safety of our staff, instructors, partners, and patrons will continue to be our first priority. The Partnership office is now open from Monday through Saturday, 10am – 4pm.

As a nonprofit organization, we have struggled financially over the past year and a half due to the pandemic, and we greatly appreciate the financial support of the community. We hope you will continue to support the Park in the future – you can donate here.

Stay well and creative,

Katey Boerner, Executive Director

Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo 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.

current arts program. In 2002, the National 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.

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

PUPPETRY

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.

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

Ticket Prices for TINY TOTS Performances: 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.

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.

The discovery of a worn pink wrestling mask prompts Nana Lupita, a Wisconsin grandmother, to share her tale about growing up in 1960s Texas. As her tale unfolds, Lupita’s life as a teen tomboy comes alive—bike riding with her friends Leopold and Liesl, working at her father’s flower stand and lucha libre. When a World Championship match is announced, Lupita anticipates seeing it until she discovers her ailing father is one of the wrestlers. With the help of a magical mask maker, Lupita secretly trains to take her father’s place. She soon finds it difficult keeping her secret from her friends and, most importantly, her father.

All Facebook programming is free, and we hope you’ll like us to get new program notifications. Find us as “The Puppet Co. Playhouse.”

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.

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.

Glen Echo Park Carousel 100th Anniversary

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. The 20-year restoration of the carousel was completed in 2003, and the carousel building was rehabilitated in 2019-20 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.

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 120 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

The Civil Rights Story of Glen Echo

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.

Why was Glen Echo Amusement Park segregated? Who led the Civil Rights protests to desegregate the amusement park? Which amusement park ride was a focal point of the protests? This program will explore the Civil Rights issues at Glen Echo Amusement Park and the surrounding area in the early 1960s.

By reservation only. Call 301.320.1400 for more information and to make reservations.

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.
