BWW Review: Will on the Hill and Far Away at Shakespeare Theatre Company Photo BWW Review: Will on the Hill and Far Away at Shakespeare Theatre Company
by Timothy Treanor - Jun 8, 2021

“What’s past is prologue” Prospero says in The Tempest, but when the present passes into the past what’s left is Will on the Hill and Far Away, the earnest and frequently successful effort by Congressmen to do Shakespeare funny. In this annual exercise, designed to raise funds for arts education, members of both Houses, as well as various other political luminaries (Washington is crawling with them), put themselves in preposterous situations which magically turn out well, just as characters in the Bard’s plays often do.

If you see a spunky, red-haired little girl around downtown Arlington soon, follow her to Theatre Arlington and be prepared to be entertained as she is none other than Junie B. Jones, star of Barbara Parks' New York Times bestselling book series. Creators Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich add music and lyrics to create this delightful "world according to Junie" in Junie B. Jones The Musical JR., opening Friday, February 22nd. Graduating from kindergarten seemed like a breeze, but now it's time for first grade, which can be very intimidating, even for someone like Junie. Losing your best friend to someone else. Making new friends on the school bus. Breaking in a new home room teacher. And what if you need to (gulp!) ...wear glasses?! No worries, our heroine Junie B. and her all her first-grade wisdom is getting it all figured out in her own unique way. If you're lucky she might even let you read her "Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal!"
