On Monday, December 8, Flying V Theatre will present a one-night-only staged reading of the classic Batman story 'The Long Halloween' featuring an ALL STAR CAST of DC's finest as the heroes and villains of the Bat Universe!
Handbag is rich with dramatic moments but ultimately never settles on whether it wants to be a prequel to The Importance of Being Earnest or a statement on parenthood in the twentieth century.
Arts on the Horizon, the DC metro area's only theatre company that is exclusively focused on creating original work for children ages 0 - 6, presents Snow Day, which will run December 3 - 14, 2014 at the W-3 Theatre at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA. This nonverbal play, written and directed by Rex Daugherty, includes live violin music. Snow Day is created specifically for an audience of children ages 2 - 6 and their families.
It is the stuff of great drama when people with incredible charm and talent behave like monsters: idealists with a clear vision of the future, leaving human wreckage in their wake. For fans of English literature who are fascinated by Shelley, Byron and the women who devoted themselves to their careers, 'Bloody Poetry' should be a pure delight.
Entertaining and well-acted, this one is worth your time. Tickets are only $15. There's no reason not to go.
The pleasures of WSC Avant-Bard's production are many, beginning with Sara Barker's brilliant embodiment of Virginia Woolf's hero/heroine. One of English literature's most enduring labors of love, the stage version of 'Orlando' also gives us a glimpse of Sarah Ruhl early in her career, adapting Woolf's classic novel at a time when she was too young to be intimidated by an iconic feminist work. Director Amber Jackson has assembled a truly talented ensemble who give audiences a no-holds-barred performance not to be missed.
This timeless presentation is definitely one that needs to be seen. At just $15 a ticket, Taffety makes Shakespeare accessible to everyone and, to my mind, is among the most successful in the city at doing justice to the material - regardless of ticket price.
