Antoinette Nwandu's searing and poetic new play Pass Over performs at Luna Stage Feb 6-March 1.

In response to sold out opening weekend performances, Luna Stage has extended Dipti Bramhandkar's American Rookie through January 27. The production was previously scheduled to close January 20.

Casting has been announced for three upcoming benefit performances of Winter Miller's Spare Rib at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater later this month.
