Today's subject was kind enough to give me an hour of his time in the balcony of the place he lived his theatre life for almost 40 years. I'm sure there isn't a person here in DC who would argue that Howard Shalwitz was one of the most influential minds in the DC theatre community as the Artistic Director of Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.

Shalwitz stepped down in 2018 and the company is now run by Maria Manuela Goyanes. Mr. Shalwitz remains as Artistic Director Emeritus.

'With Love, Marilyn' begins its New York City residency at Club Bonafide on October 3, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate romantic. Lovers come and go in this musical journey, a sensual and fun-loving one-woman tribute performance celebrating the iconic ingenue and the loves of her life. This show pays homage to the many loves and romances in the life of Monroe, in a what-if scenario of performing in Las Vegas - fulfilling a wish that sadly Monroe never got to do.
