Its productions are usually of quite good quality. Sometimes one wonders why they chose a particular production (Jerry Springer: The Opera comes to my mind, despite critical and audience raves), but it is highly regarded in the DC theatre community. They tend to do more straight plays than musicals though.

A little off-topic, but I saw Barbara Walsh in About Time last night at NYMF and she was BRILLIANT!! It was a joy to see her perform in such a small venue. I can't get over how talented she is.
At times she was brassy and belting and at other moments she was singing with gorgeous and pure tones. I could totally see the contrast between Will You? and Revolutionary Costume. I have high hopes and now feel like I need to make the trip down to DC for this production.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!
I'm jealous Liz! I'll be coming in from VA on the Metro in November (11/29) so I'll be seeing the matinee that day. I hope the weather cooperates. (Miss P - want to do lunch that day?)

Miss P, I'll be seeing it at the last matinee on Dec 20 and then seeing the revival of WEST SIDE STORY at the National that night. My Christmas present to myself, if you will.
Did you see Barbara in NIGHT MUSIC at CenterStage. Just lovely.

Dammit, Phil! I have tickets for WSS for that afternoon! But maybe we'll finally get to meet that day, regardless. I mean, we'll be in the same place for once!
Morosco, I think The Studio does EXCELLENT work. And they take chances, which I respect greatly...even when I'm not crazy about the choice they've made. GREY GARDENS is my favorite musical, so I am somewhat anxious about any production, but I feel quite good that it's The Studio mounting this unique work.
Mamie, Is November 29 the Saturday after Thanksgiving? 'Cause I'll be in NYC then. (BOO!)

I wish I could see this. I think she'd do wonders with the part (not to say that Ebersole did not do so already!).
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Well, if you do decide to go, please let me know because we could meet during intermission for a cup of coffee and a brownie!
I can assure you I will be very critical when this show opens because I just love it so much. Oh dear. I'm talking myself into going to the first preview, I think!
