BWW Review: BAD JEWS at Vagabond Players
When a family deals with loss, how can they go about preserving their loved one's legacy with what was left behind? At the Vagabond Players, audiences can witness how Joshua Harmon's award-winning dark comedy BAD JEWS will immerse you on an emotional journey from beginning to end.
Wrestling with Authentic Inauthenticity: CHAD DEITY at Cohesion Theatre
The bad guy is supposed to proclaim how much he despises American values.

BWW Review: SOUL THE STAX MUSICAL - Baltimore Center Stage Presents World Premiere Until June 10, 2018
I cannot think of a more fitting way to say thank you to Baltimore Center Stage Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah than attending SOUL THE STAX MUSICAL which runs to June 10, 2018.
With SOUL, Stax Lives Again at Center Stage
We want the same songs we (or our parents or grandparents, as the case may be) grew up with, every note of the horn arrangements, and the original singer's voices, imparting each smidgen of intonation and pacing that the original singe added to the song.
Uncategorizable, Brilliant, and Profound: Bernstein's CANDIDE at the Washington National Opera
When you hear the first few notes of the rollicking overture, you know Bernstein is genuflecting hard to Johann Strauss.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS Leaves a Trail of Stardust at The Hippodrome
What a trail of stardust the whole musical leaves! There are the sets and lighting which dazzle in their nimble evocation of the wonders of Paris, with a side-step into a fantasy nightclub that seems to be Radio City Music Hall, complete with spangled leggy chorines and dudes in top hats and tails.
BWW Review: TRUE WEST at Rep Stage in Columbia - A Toast to Impeccable Performances!
Rep Stage closes its 25th season with a riveting presentation of Sam Shepard's TRUE WEST which is full of laughs.
BWW Review: FOOD FOR THOUGHT: AUBERGINE at Everyman Theatre
Aubergine, by American playwright and television writer of Korean descent, Julia Cho, is a didactic play, heavy on pathos, but not without humor, that finds its origins in Cho's own life, specifically, the death of her father.
BWW Review: AUBERGINE at Everyman Theatre is a Touching Drama
Everyman's Artistic Director Vincent M.
BWW Review: Same As The Old Boss: Center Stage's Grim, Industrial ANIMAL FARM
The true selling point of this production is not so much a reimmersion in Orwell's masterpiece as a reminder, if we needed reminding, of the collective nausea that overtakes us in one of those periodic moments when totalitarian assaults on truth, justice and human dignity are winning.
BWW Review: OKLAHOMA! at Artistic Synergy Of Baltimore is so Much More than OK
OKLAHOMA! was not a show that I new much about before seeing it performed this week by the lovely cast and crew of Artistic Synergy of Baltimore.
BWW Review: Handing it to the Devil: Stillpointe Presents HAND TO GOD
This attack on sanctimonious pretensions is put across by a spirited ensemble, game with lascivious behavior, violence, f-bombs and sock-puppets, and blessed with considerable talent, including the manual dexterity to bring socks to life.
BWW Review: A Lackluster Script Spoils THE GRADUATE at Dundalk Community Theatre
Ben's character may be a phony pastiche, and Elaine's a confusing cypher, but in Elaine's mother Mrs.
BWW Review: CHESS In Concert at the Kennedy Center: A Special Night to Remember
A sold-out seven performance production of CHESS in Concert blew the rafters of the roof of the Eisenhower Theater.
BWW Review: THE GREAT SOCIETY at Arena Stage - LBJ Comes Alive Again!
Thank you Arena Stage Artistic Director Molly Smith for bringing to the Washington Area the sequel writer Robert Schenkkan's two part series on President Lyndon Baines Johnson.
ALL SHE MUST POSSESS at Rep Stage - An Ambitious Look at the Famous Cone Sisters
Columbia's Rep Stage takes a leap into the lives of Etta And Claribel Cone in world premiere play by Susan McCully.
BWW Review: A Community's Accomplishment and the Homosexual Gaze: ALL SHE MUST POSSESS at REP Stage
All She Must Possess does not suggest that the Cone Collection was Etta's work alone, but rather depicts it as the emanation of the entire community, including not only Etta, but her sister Claribel, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude's brother Leo, Alice Toklas, and the artists, for whom Matisse stands in as
BWW Review: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at Everyman Theatre
Long Day's Journey Into Night takes an audience on a foggy trip into the dysfunction of the Tyrone family.
BWW Review: No Escape from the Hall of Mirrors in THE DEATH OF WALT DISNEY at Single Carrot Theatre
Disney's motto is 'Unless you're one of the most important people who ever lived, what's the point?' But there remains no point if you have no consciousness left to enjoy your importance.
BWW Review: When Everything Falls Apart: SKELETON CREW at Center Stage
The human spirit, Morisseau seems to be suggesting, is hard to crush, regardless of the direction in which the great tides of industrial affairs may flow.
BWW Review: WAITRESS at The Hippodrome is Two Parts Love Story and One Part Comedy with a Dash of Heart Sprinkled Throughout
The National Tour of WAITRESS - playing at the Hippodrome until February 4, 2018 - is the best version of this particular show I've seen.
