Production-wise, this is among Theater J's strongest outings yet this season. Unfortunately, the script doesn't quite reach that same level.

Overall, 'Irving Berlin's White Christmas' is a step above your average holiday fare. Even if it left me wanting more, one does have to appreciate the music and dancing talent involved and any show which features Berlin's classic tunes is worthy of attention.

Although this production is certainly one that favors style over substance, the creativity at work is undeniable.

Overall, I'd recommend this production. Strong acting, strong singing, and a delicate treatment of the interesting material make this one to see.

This fairly innocuous take on a classic tale is likely to be a hit with audiences seeking a fun night out.

Studio Theatre's production of Annie Baker's 'The Aliens' is, despite the fine acting and production values, unsatisfying.

Equally educational and entertaining, this Kennedy Center commission is as successful as it is thanks to the strong source material with a compelling plot, and the committed cast.

If you take your kids to one theatre performance this holiday season, this should be the one! Even kids at heart are likely to enjoy themselves!

'Woody Sez' is recommended. The enthusiasm the talented performers have for sharing Woody's music (and his legacy) is infectious. If you're a fan of Woody, you are likely to love it. Even if you only remember singing "This Land is Your Land" in elementary school, this is still a show to see if you appreciate fine musicianship.

'You for Me for You' is certainly unlike any other play I've witnessed that deals with important social-cultural ideas that impact our current reality.

'All My Sons' is one of Keegan's strongest straight play productions in recent years. It's highly recommended.

Conceptually, Conner and Smith are on to something although additional refinement is very much necessary if this show is to have a future life. The small cast delivers some fine performances in this premiere.

Strong acting and equally impressive presentation elements make this production one that I'd recommend for the discerning theatregoer.

BroadwayWorld interviewed Paata Tsikurishvili about Synetic Theater's upcoming tour to the Republic of Georgia. It will become the first American theater company to perform in that country.

I'm glad that 'I Love to Eat' made good use of Nick Olcott's considerable acting talents. I just wish he was given a better script to deliver.

'Dirt' should be seen for the imagery-filled language the playwright employs and the fine acting, particularly by the incredible Holly Twyford.

Matt Conner shows promise as a composer and I look forward to seeing what will become of 'Crossing' in the future.

The stellar musicianship displayed in 'Songs of Migration' is reason alone to see this show.

'Our Class' is certainly a difficult piece of theatre, but those who take the time to see this epic narrative will likely appreciate not only the artistic merits, but also the lessons that can still be learned from the story.

The Kennedy Center brings the flavors of South Africa to Washington, DC tonight, October 17-20, 2012 with the US premiere of 'Songs of Migration' featuring the legendary Hugh Masekela.
