Discover the exciting lineup of extraordinary plays announced for STUDIO THEATRE's 2024-2025 season. Stay tuned for a theatrical experience like no other.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company will present a live benefit reading of Sarah Ruhl's Dear Elizabeth: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and Back Again.

The full five-show lineup has bee revealed for Round House Theatre’s 2024-2025 Season. Learn about the shows and see how to purchase tickets.

At the Wedding is a comedy with tragedy sprinkled in like celebratory confetti that proves difficult to clean up once dispersed. It tries to squeeze in a lot of different ideas, tones, and resonances into barely over an hour. Not all of it lands, but there are seriously funny moments mixed in with the ones that fall flat–and in a story about messy resilience, the unevenness sometimes works.

The cast and crew has been announced for Bryna Turner's hilarious and meditative comedy At the Wedding, which will start performances on March 13. Learn more here!

Village Theatre has welcomed a new show and a new Doctor to the stage this weekend. With a set that can’t leave your mind after stepping out of the Issaquah theater, and a leading lady who steals the show (good news, since she’s the only one in it), Becoming Dr. Ruth is a labor of love and arduous work by all those involved. 

Philadelphia-based theater company The Wilma Theater (265  South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107) will partner with The League of Live Stream  Theater (LOLST) to present four worldwide live-stream performances of My Mama and The Full-Scale Invasion by Ukrainian playwright Sasha Denisova.

Village Theatre presents Becoming Dr. Ruth, the triumphant and life-affirming story of a woman who—through her perseverance, indefatigable spirit, and bravery—carved her own unique place in the world. Learn more about the show here and find out how to get tickets!

What did our critic think of MY MAMA AND THE FULL SCALE INVASION at Woolly Mammoth Theatre? How do you tell the story of a person who has lived 1,000 lives? How do you capture a life that includes being born into Nazi occupation, raising a child, surviving a massive nuclear accident, and a full-scale invasion of a homeland…all in a tight, 90-minute package?

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company kicks off its 2023-24 Enter the Woollyverse season with the world premiere of My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion, an over-the-top look at the current war and invasion in Ukraine through one family's story.

This evening, the 2023 Helen Hayes Awards took place at The Anthem on the District Wharf, with over 1,600 theatre-makers and theatre supporters in attendance.
