Another joy that the mansion has been helping provide is for the young ones with the award winning Now This Improv group. This group of entertainers has been a regular for Saturday afternoon birthday celebration shows for the youngest of audiences. The troupe has a special way of personalizing their shows for the birthday child that makes the event one they will probably always cherish. They also do shows with the teenage set in mind that won’t embarrass mom or dad, yet still give the young person a time to remember.

Now This! is DC's only totally improvised musical children's theatre. Their professional cast takes the audience's ideas and instantly turns them into songs, comic sketches and musical fairy tales. The Birthday Parties can choose either a lunch/show/cake package or a show/cake/ice cream package. The cast interviews birthday children, and makes up a personal birthday song about each one. NOW THIS! KIDS! is recommended by the Washington Post, Going Places With Children, The Children's Post, Fodor's and Frommer's Guides and WRC TV calls us a 'Best Bet.'

The actors of now this bring a totally family friendly energy and interactive experience to the Blair Mansion Inn!

They have done literally hundreds of shows at the Blair Mansion, for everything from a Fortune 500 company’s holiday party to a 5 year old’s birthday and dozens and dozens of school groups. Everyone loves the festive, fun atmosphere, the great food and the convenient location, and many come back, year after year.
