4,380 Nights is essentially two different plays, which makes it often hard to follow due to the lack of cohesion, but there are still glimpses of a play in which the message of hope rings quietly over fear and hate.

The Gift of Nothing is the perfect outing for families with young children hoping to see a meaningful show this holiday season.

The Kennedy Center presents the world premiere production of The Gift of Nothing from November 22 to December 28, 2014 in the Family Theater.

As the strange and sharp-turning story unfolds, it becomes clear that there are eerie similarities between the regime of the genocidal dictator and the living arrangements of these six men. They are a group of urban creatures who have moved out into the country to live a self-sufficient life. They live in a supposedly egalitarian commune that actually has strong class-based divides. And all isn't as it seems to be.

LYLE THE CROCODILE, based on the children's book series by Bernard Waber, is appearing at the Imagination Stage, in Bethesda, Maryland. Geared for children ages four through twelve, former kids will also appreciate the warm-hearted story and the exuberant dancing.

An extraordinary crocodile that can tap dance, perform household chores, and rescue cats from burning buildings will star in the musical Lyle the Crocodile at Imagination Stage. Directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer and adapted by humorist Kevin Kling, this production featuring music by Richard Gray is wonderfully warm and witty and will win the hearts of young people this holiday season. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

At the end of the day, PETER PAN AND WENDY is a great family show with some solid acting and design work. It's another victory for Imagination Stage.
