Review: THE SECOND CITY: DANCE LIKE THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE WATCHING at Woolly Mammoth
by Roger Catlin - Nov 12, 2024
The latest Second City production at Woolly Mammoth aims to bring “Black joy” in the tradition of its past successes there, such as 2016’s “Black Side of the Moon.” That show came to D.C. on the teeth of a dispiriting election, as does the new one, “Dance Like There’s Black People Watching.”

Review: CONFEDERATES at Mosaic Theater Company
by Pamela Roberts - Nov 1, 2023
Mosaic Theater Company's production Confederates, by MacArthur “genius” fellow and two-time Tony-nominated playwright Dominique Morisseau, is a smart and moving satire about the struggles of two formidable women who must stand up to subjugation as they consider whom they can trust and how they move forward.

Review: THE RAINMAKER at 1st Stage
by Peter Rouleau - Nov 23, 2022
American literature has a soft spot for con artists, those ruffians who, lacking the skills or inclination to earn an honest living, prosper by using sheer charm and creativity to tell other people what they most want to hear. These rapscallions, despite living by lying, often find themselves in a position to help other characters discover certain truths about themselves. 1st Stage's production of N. Edward Nash's 1954 play The Rainmaker is an enjoyable and entertaining visit with one such miscreant.

BWW Review: THE MAMALOGUES at 1st Stage Theater
by Tavish Young - Apr 25, 2022
Earnest, funny, and full of life, Lisa B. Thompson's The Mamalogues is an intimate piece about navigating the world and looking for a fulfilling way of life (and in particular America) as a single Black mother.

by Jack L. B. Gohn - Mar 17, 2019
For Prince Hal to attain his destiny, he like all sons must replace his father, and if in this case there are two fathers, it simply means that there are two to surmount, surpass and survive.

Fathers, Sons, and Dynastic Struggle: HENRY IV, PART I at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Feb 18, 2019
Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I (1597), now being revived by the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, is at its heart a family story. It certainly bears the traditional characteristics of Shakespeare's history plays, but it is, first and foremost, a story of two fathers and two sons, and only secondarily about dynastic struggles.

BWW Review: Chesapeake Shakespeare Sings Perfect Harmony In A CHRISTMAS CAROL
by Cybele Pomeroy - Dec 17, 2018
Though it's not billed as a musical, there's quite a bit of singing in Chesapeake Shakespeare's A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Anchored by strong character work, the production diverges from the format of 'straight play' by featuring wonderful harmonies and active, authentic-looking dances. Visual interest is high with action on three levels of staging, brisk pacing, brilliant costuming and dramatic special effects. Charles Dickens' effervescent dialogue and narrative paired with writer Ian Gallanar's adjustments create a classic rendition with a special Christmas In Baltimore flourish, a successful adaptation full of little surprises.
