The Princess program started in 1948, and is an educational and cultural exchange program with Japan. College age (19-24) women from every state and territory spend a week in DC experiencing a unique Washington experience. They have tea at the Japanese embassy, visit museums, spend a day on Capitol Hill with their state representatives, and meet with the First Lady at the White House.

The young women are chosen by their state society to represent their state! While out and about in DC they wear their state sash and welcome opportunities to talk with the public, especially people from their home states!

The Princess program is unique in that it unites women from every state with the international princesses that are invited to join the program. On the final day one lucky princess will win a trip to Japan.

Join Paul Williams at O Museum for an evening full of music, love, and joy.

DOORS OPEN & TOUR: TBD
Concert: TBD

Paul Williams is one of the most beloved and respected music creators in the world. His songs and scores have received six Oscar, nine Grammy, six Golden Globe and two Emmy nominations. “The Rainbow Connection,” from The Muppet Movie, is one of two of Williams’ songs that grace AFI’s List of Top Movie Songs of All Time. More recent honors include album of the year Grammy, as co-writer and featured artist on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories; and a World Soundtrack Award with Gustavo Santaolalla for their work on The Book of Life.

While publicly lauded for his work as a songwriter, author and actor, most recently for his recurring role with Billy Bob Thornton in Goliath, Paul predicts he’ll be remembered for playing Little Enos in the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy and for his lyrics to “The Love Boat” theme. However, it is the lyrics from Bugsy Malone that aptly sum up his philosophy: “You give a little love and it all comes back to you; You’re gonna’ be remembered for the things that you say and do”. (Coke commercial lyrics)

Although most people first came to know Mr. Williams as one of Johnny Carson's recurring favorites on The Tonight Show, or as an actor in dozens of films, television comedies and dramas, it is his musical legacy that continues to inspire. "We've Only Just Begun", "Rainy Days and Mondays", "You and Me Against the World" and "An Old Fashioned Love Song" all remain pop classics.

Privately a devoted father and publicly lauded for his work as a songwriter, performer, actor and humanitarian, he is also President and Chairman of ASCAP.

Proceeds will benefit O Museum in The Mansion.

Step into the world of rock 'n roll history this weekend at O Museum in the Mansion, where May Pang will showcase an exclusive collection of photographs from her time with John Lennon during the iconic "Lost Weekend." This unique exhibit unveils moments captured during the 18-month affair that took place in Los Angeles, a period of freedom and self-discovery for Lennon.

At just 19, May Pang found herself thrust into the role of personal assistant to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But as Lennon and Ono’s relationship began to crumble, Ono introduced Pang as Lennon’s temporary lover. The "Lost Weekend" was more than just a romantic entanglement—it was a transformative time for Lennon, who immersed himself in L.A.'s vibrant music scene and began to rebuild his bond with his estranged son, Julian.

This captivating exhibit will feature three never-before-seen photos of Lennon, along with additional images that document their time together. According to Pang, these images offer an intimate look at Lennon during a time of personal growth—capturing him in a relaxed, sober state as he reconnected with his music and his own sense of self. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience rock history through the lens of a woman who was there, witnessing it all.
