The Washington Stage Guild is adding an additional week to the run of Paticia Milton’s The Victorian Ladies’ Detective Collective.

There's murder and mayhem afoot at Washington Stage Guild (and a fair amount of mirth, too) in the area premier of Patricia Milton's The Victorian Ladies' Detective Collective, a fun and lighthearted addition to the whodunnit genre with a decidedly feminist twist.

The Washington Stage Guild enters the Winter of their 2023-2024 season with the DC-area premiere of Patricia Milton's The Victorian Ladies' Detective Collective. Get all the production details here!

What did our critic think of GLORIA: A LIFE at Theater J?

Beginning on March 8 and running through April 2, 2023, Theater J brings Gloria: A Life to the stage. This celebration of the famed women’s rights advocate Gloria Steinem is written by Emily Mann and directed by award-winning DC actor and director, Holly Twyford.

Acclaimed Washington actor Craig Wallace will return to Ford’s Theatre to reprise the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for the company’s holiday production of A Christmas Carol.

Helen Hayes Recommended We Happy Few takes a step forward by looking back this spring. In their first Shakespeare-adjacent piece since 2018's PERICLES, and their first live stage production since the COVID-19 pandemic, the company journeys to Cyprus and the castle of Othello, to discover and discuss the relationships between Desdemona, Bianca, and Emilia while their lovers and husbands conflict and conspire.

'Torn' is a well-researched, cleverly produced production with an interesting story at its heart. The show may not live up to the theatre company’s name, but it’s an enjoyable enough production with a worthwhile tale to tell.

The AmaZing Theatre Company presents Torn by award-winning playwright John Becker. When Booker T. Washington, a former slave, was invited to dinner at the White House by Teddy Roosevelt, it sent shock waves across the nation. In many ways, we are still Torn.

Welcome back to Bethesda Round House Theatre! After a successful renovation, the theater has reopened on East-West Highway with impressive architectural improvements. One will notice immediately upon entering the lobby, huge changes with a complete makeover. There is a huge bar and seating area that was desperately needed. I do believe they could use more variety of refreshments though.. The theater's intent is to get people to a performance early and stick around afterwards.

School Girls; or, The African Mean Girls Play recently opened at Round House Theatre. Find out what the critics had to say!

Playwright Jocelyn Bioh long wanted to name her 2017 work about the social interworkings of young women in Ghana simply 'School Girls.' But it wasn't until she added the subtitle, 'African Mean Girls Play,' that she fully nailed what she was doing.

The 35th annual Helen Hayes Awards honored local theater on Monday, May 13, at The Anthem.

Creators Jennifer Schwed and Doug Bradshaw teamed up with composer Charlie Barnett to produce a musical that is sweet, earnest, smart, and sensitive. It may be a lofty goal to hope that '19: The Musical' achieves 'Hamilton'-like heights, but, much like the women it portrays, it's certainly up to the task and should not be underestimated.

There are many companies presenting Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) shows in and around the DC area. One of the newest is a company that's been around for over twenty years, but has relatively recently branched out into the family entertainment genre.

A "rousing, ovation-generating musical, full of history and dance," 19: The Musical is the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, and the other suffragists who fought to win American women the right to vote nearly 100 years ago (DC Metro Theatre Arts).

Keenan. Opening on December 22, the Keegan PLAY-RAH-KA family friendly production of the delightful children's classic with a holiday twist, THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER, written by Kristin Walter. And back by popular demand, THE HARRY BELLS: Keegan Greetings, in concert on December 22.

Overall, Keegan Theatre's musical rendition of 'As You Like It' is whimsical and fun, with some light social commentary of love and acceptance. Despite some rough edges, the production is an enjoyable experience.
