BAT BOY THE MUSICAL is now playing at 1st Stage in Tysons and it's a must see. The creators used the old magic “What if…? and came up with a doozy of a story. Funny, touching, edging on camp, BAT BOY is tuneful terror done right.

Flying V Theatre, which we last saw with their loose and loopy 'Pirate Laureate of Port Town,' has created an unforgettable evening of theatre that touches you in more ways than you imagined possible. The standing ovation I witnessed last weekend was well deserved, and I hope is just one of many for the run of this show.

The very best of the Internet's most iconic advertisement and missed connection website is reimagined on stage in this newly devised play, conceived by Edward Daniels, and created by the artists of Flying V. The Best of Craigslist, directed by Flying V Producing Artistic Director Jason Schlafstein, runs tonight, June 14 through June 30 at The Writer's Center. BroadwayWorld has more production shots below!

The new DC area theatre season begins in September. Over 50 shows are opening in our professional and community theatres. But before we move on to the new season and what's opening in September, let's look back at my personal favorite musicals, plays, and performances in both musicals and plays in the DC area - from August 2010 to August 2011.

The DC area is full of spring splendor with so many gorgeous trees and azaleas in full bloom, and our local theatres are filled with new colorful productions. So come visit the Nation's Capital and bask in the city's beauty and the power and joy of our local theatres.
