Happy Holidays everyone! Come visit our Nation's Capital during the holiday season. It's such a beautiful time of the year here, with so many lights shimmering on the monuments, The Mall, and on The White House. As we await the first snow flakes, DC area theatres are chocked full of productions for the whole family filled with elves, reindeers, Santas, and Scrooges.
Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s…1916?

For those of you who read my column regularly, you know that I love when theatre companies produce original work and take chances. You could only imagine my pleasant surprise when I wandered upon Extended Play Productions' "Vaudeville Vivat!" running now through May 22nd at the Playground Theater. Part improvised, part scripted with a bit of clowning and burlesque, "Vaudeville Vivat!" takes us back to the revue-style comedy of our great-grandparents. You might be asking, why would a 1916 throwback show be of any interest to me? I've seen "Titanic." Well, you know The Second City? Consider Vaudeville its great-aunt.

Not to be confused with the opera by Giuseppe Verdi, AIDA the musical by Elton John and Tim Rice is yet another spin on the popular 'Romeo and Juliet' theme of star-crossed lovers.
