EastShawDC shared the news with the rest of us bloggers that comedian Wanda Sykes will be the opening act at the newly restored Howard Theatre at 620 T Street NW.

The building is undergoing some pretty extensive renovations ($29 million total), and this announcement for April 13-15 is exciting news. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for April 9 and the grand opening party on April 12.
