Capital Stage continues its 20th Anniversary season with a stark look at the price paid by those who are on the frontlines of the atrocities happening in the world.

Review: WIPEOUT Rides a Wave of Success at B Street Theatre
by Courtney Symes - Apr 26, 2024
The B Street Theatre has been riding a wave of hit after hit, continuing with Aurora Real de Asua’s surfing comedy, Wipeout.

This hilariously bawdy, witty, and satirical homage to the questionable merits of the romance genre was the winner of B Street Theatre’s 2022 New Comedies Festival, and the reasons are clear. Groustra’s clever dialogue imbued with racy physical comedy makes Insertion the summer’s not-to-miss show.
