Tickets are now available for Traveling Players' Dionysian Play Festival, which runs  weekends March 12-20 at their Studio in Tysons Corner Center. Performed by Traveling Players'  students, the festival will travel back in time to the beginning of Western Theatre, in ancient Greece, with  three modern twists on classic myths.  

Seattle Shakespeare Company's Artistic Director George Mount announced plans for the company's 2016-2017 season that includes a world premiere adaptation, pairings of plays exploring love and jealousy, and everyone's favorite fairy-filled fantasy. The plays included in the season are The Winter's Tale, Medea, the two-part epic Bring Down the House, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. The company previously announced its selection for the free Wooden O summer park shows: Hamlet and Love's Labour's Lost. In the spring of 2017 Seattle Shakespeare Company will tour The Taming of the Shrew and Romeo and Juliet to schools and venues across the state.

Hasty entrances and exits, jealousy bordering on paranoia, a philandering husband, hypnotism, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. Here is classic French farce as only North Coast Rep can do it! NOW YOU SEE IT, written by the French master of the form, Georges Feydeau, in a brilliant translation by British playwright Kenneth McLeish, takes audiences on a dizzying escapade. Furiously fast and clever, this visual and verbal treat is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone. You won't want to miss this hilarious  U.S. premiere.
