Jen DeMayo

Jen DeMayo has been a waitress, an actor, a puppeteer and a writer for the Hill Rag. She worked for many years for the Atlas Performing Arts Center which has resulted in her being a relentless H Street booster/Streetcar apologist. She is originally from the New York-New Jersey area and is consequently one of the many who whine endlessly about DC’s lack of good bagels and pizza. She is the mom to two boys who currently attend DCPS (off the Hill.) No matter what she may end up accomplishing in her life, she is sure that her obituary headline will say she was the founder of Moms on the Hill.

Pendragwn Youth Film Festival

Before Judd Apatow was the king of the juvenile bro-mance he was, more than likely a juvenile himself. Kids and movies have been paired since Spanky and the Little Rascals made their Depression era debut but rarely do we get to see what kids can do given the chance to get behind the camera. The […]

Monday Morning Circle Time

Good morning everyone. I do so hope you enjoyed the lovelygorgeousperfect weekend. A weekend where the nosy were allowed to peep into the homes of complete strangers, cemeteries were for running in and mothers were fêted (or grumbled about.) I drove on past Lincoln Park on Sunday afternoon and one would have thought there was […]
