Individual tickets will go on sale Friday, December 4 at 10 a.m. for August: Osage County. The 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play will return for a limited engagement February 2 - 14, 2010 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre (151 W. Randolph).

The fall temperatures may be getting colder, but the DC area theatre scene is heating up with many musicals, including a new "intimate" production of a 1927 American classic, a Tony-Award Winning family saga, and so many choices - well - take a look for yourself at what this diverse theatre community has to offer in November. This is a great time to celebrate the upcoming holidays with your family, so bring the kids, grandparents, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and cousins to see that Orphan girl and her dog, a Disney heroine, and enjoy an early Christmas, and many more shows to bring in the cheer and joy of the holiday season. We have so much to be thankful for this month, so come to our nation's capital and celebrate the joy of theatre with us!

February of 2008 has turned out to be a heck of a terrific month for non-traditional and daring Off-Broadway musicals. (Do we have any more opening by tomorrow night?) Following the exhilarating Next To Normal and the entrancingly Dadaist The Blue Flower we now have Joshua Schmidt (music and libretto) and Jason Loewith's (libretto) haunting chamber piece, Adding Machine, based on Elmer Rice's 1923 Expressionist drama. To call it 'old-fashioned' would be misleading, but one of the pleasures of Adding Machine is that it recalls a time when political and social protest musicals were not uncommon among Gotham's theatrical offerings.

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts directed by Anna D. Shapiro Ahmanson Theatre through October 18

The vocal selections for Off-Broadway hit ADDING MACHINE have just been released. Alfred Music Publishing has released 'Adding Machine-A Musical: Vocal Selections,' whichh has a suggested price of $19.95.
