Lisa Hodsoll News

Voting has now opened for the 2014 BroadwayWorld Washington, DC Regional Awards! Check out the latest live stats as of November 25th.

Theatre J's production of 'The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures' comes complete with quirks and brainy asides that can leave audiences miles behind, grasping for meaning. This being an epic affair, eventually we simply give up and let the characters live their lives, untouched and untouchable. But that's when the magic starts.

Both excel largely due to the strength of the performer.

No Rules Theatre Company and SPAIN arts & culture present the funniest tragedy this side of Athens! In the DC premiere of Spanish playwright Emilio Williams' award-winning farce, Lisa Hodsoll delivers a side-splitting take on the infamous Greek myth while playing seven characters in an acting tour de force. Finally! We get Medea's uncensored side of the story: the whirlwind romance that drove her to murder her children, the tragedy that is modern theater, and the portrayal of women in the age of Rihanna and JLaw.

The Wonderful World of Dissocia, which is wonderful indeed, is lovingly crafted by Theater Alliance, who have bounced back in a big way in their new space.

These individuals are so outlandish, they make the Mad Hatter look like Miss Manners and the March Hare look like the Easter bunny. There's the watch-repair specialist who drinks urine; the bumbling, ritual-addicted bureaucrat known as the Oathtaker; and the talking goat who hungers for blame (he's a scapegoat, you see) and who turns out to have a shocking propensity for violence.

EDGAR AND ANNABEL by Sam Holcroft, now making its US Premiere at Studio Theatre's 2nd Stage as the kick-off of its New British Invasion series, evokes as many meanings and sub-meanings as this wildly funny political satire can bear.

Witty and informed....this is Fringe's must-see!

Four long acts long, with casting challenges, bedeviled by attitudes modern audiences likely will not share, and, it must be said, self-indulgent as regards some of O'Neill's great weaknesses, Moon for the Misbegotten requires more than most companies and audiences can summon to put it across successfully. I say "successfully" but perhaps "successfully as possible" might be the more accurate phrase. Washington's Heritage-O'Neill Theatre Company's current production partly but not fully meets these challenges.

The Heritage-O'Neill Theatre Company, a professional, Helen Hayes Award-eligible company located in Silver Spring, Maryland, concentrating its productions to the works of Eugene O'Neill and the American classics, and entering its 8th year of operation, will be mounting Eugene O'Neill's outstanding classic, 'A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN' from September 22 through October 22.
