After acclaim from critics and audiences alike, Synetic Theater will remount their 2014 smash-hit Twelfth Night.

Tonight, before a gathering of theatre artists and patrons, theatreWashington announced the winners of the 2016 Helen Hayes Awards, drawn from 202 eligible productions presented in the 2015 calendar year. Scroll down for the full list of nominees and winners!

Synetic Theater's production of The Man in the Iron Mask is victorious during moments of silent montages and epic fight scenes, but its dialogue is at times ill fitting for such as beloved classic.

Shakespeare's iambic pentameter, the rhythm of his words, echo the human heartbeat: ba-BUM, ba-BUM. But Synetic Theater gets to the beating heart of ROMEO AND JULIET without a single utterance of any of the Bard's famed words. In its innovative merging of drama and movement, Synetic's silent exploration of the classic work is an extraordinary vision of wonder and passion.

Synetic Theater Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili unveils the 2016/17 Season at Synetic Theater. For the first time ever, this season is made up entirely of wordless adaptations which will highlight the diverse talents in Synetic's famously physical, powerhouse ensemble of actors.

Synetic Theater will remount their acclaimed wordless production of Romeo and Juliet, February 17 through March 27.

A comic bouquet of theatrical fluff that Shakespeare tossed off, as its title suggests, solely to please his audience, Synetic takes the story and gives it the contemporary edge that we've come to know and love. But given its gritty, urban setting and new characters, I strongly advise you re-acquaint yourself with the original plot and then peruse the 'revised' plot offered in the program here.

Synetic Theater will continue their 2015/16 Season with their 12th 'Wordless Shakespeare' adaptation, AS YOU LIKE IT. Press opening will be tonight, December 12 at 8 p.m. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars below!
