According to the Washington Post, the Woolly Mammoth in Washington D.C. has announced its 2007-2008 season.

First up, from August 27th through September 23rd, will be Bruce Norris' The Unmentionables. Described as "a comedy about American do-gooders in an African village," the production will feature Naomi Jacobson and David Emerson Toney.  Pam Mackinnon will direct the show, which premiered at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre and will next be seen at the Yale Repertory Theatre.

Melissa James Gibson's Current Nobody will be presented from October 29th through November 25th.  Directed by Daniel Aukin, the world premiere play "flips the story of The Odyssey into a tale about a stay-at-home dad and his photojournalist wife."

Nilaja Sun's acclaimed solo show No Child, starring the author, will run from January 14th through February 10th, 2008.  "Sun plays multiple characters in her real-life tale about directing New York City students in a play."

David Adjmi's Stunning, partially inspired by A Streetcar Named Desire, will run through March 10th through April 6th.  Anne Kaufmann will direct the world premiere play, which is "about a teenage bride and her much older husband in New York's traditional Syrian Jewish community and a kind of cultural collision with their worldly African American housekeeper."

David Grimm's Measure for Pleasure, previously seen at the Public Theater in New York, is inspired by the ribaldry of Restoration comedy.  The play, which mixes verse and prose, will run from May 26th through June 29th.
