Washington Stage Guild to Present MEMOIRS OF A FORGOTTEN MAN
by Chloe Rabinowitz - Apr 18, 2022
The Washington Stage Guild will conclude its 2021-2022 season with Memoirs of a Forgotten Man by D.W. Gregory. The play, which had its world premiere at The Contemporary American Theatre Festival in 2018, takes place in the Stalinist Soviet Union, where a man’s inability to forget those whom the government has “erased” becomes increasingly problematic for him and his family.

BWW Review: An Act of God at NextStop Theatre Company
by Timothy Treanor - Aug 23, 2021
Is it time to hold God (inhabiting the body of Jacob Yeh) to account? God knows – forgive the reference – we have occasion to do so. Even as we hunker, masked, vaccinated and socially distant, within the confines of NextStop Theatre Company, we add more counts to our indictment – a terrible disease, economic disruption, social unrest. And that’s just for us, the richest country in human history! At least we don’t have to worry about religious maniacs entering our homes and shooting us. Yet.

BWW Review: TINKER BELL Joyfully Flies to Adventure Theatre MTC
by Sam Abney - Jun 27, 2018
Peter Pan is possibly one of the most commonly adapted and re-adapted works for the stage. From Peter and the Starcatcher to Finding Neverland and everything in between, there are constant tweaks and updates to this classic that make it resonate with new generations. Adventure Theatre's newest adaption, Tinker Bell, is a good family-friendly adaptation and is worth visiting just for the sheer fun. Patrick Flynn's script, however, runs out of pixie dust before the work can reveal anything about the story that hasn't already been heard.
