Self preservation subjugates our humanity for the sake of survival. And the pursuit of the American dream causes us to live on the periphery of morality. The Conscious Theater Project is a series of plays written by award winning playwright and social activist Willie Holmes. Holmes explains, 'Each work explores the moral dilemma of a democratic society without social empathy.

If you have ever attended an opera and thought 'all of these sets and costumes are so incredibly distracting' then Washington Concert Opera would be right up your alley. Stripping away the grandiose of an opera production, WCO presents their works in their most raw form: with just an orchestra, a chorus, and principles who sing their hearts out. This minimalist style isn't likely to convert opera skeptics, but it is a great way to deepen one's appreciation for the art form. Their most recent presentation of Charles Gounod's first opera, Sapho, benefits from some strong lead performances. It's just a shame that the libretto isn't better.
