The 42nd Helen Hayes Awards were presented at an event at The Anthem. The awards celebrated productions in the Washington, DC region in the 2025 calendar year.

The 2026 Helen Hayes Award nominations have been announced, recognizing outstanding achievement in Washington-area professional theatre. Arena Stage, Signature Theatre, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Round House Theatre, and dozens of regional companies are represented across performance, direction, design, and production categories. The awards highlight the breadth of theatre work presented throughout the D.C. metropolitan area.

Ford's Theatre announced the cast and creative team for its upcoming production of 1776, set to open in spring 2026. The historic venue will host this revival, bringing a fresh perspective to the classic American musical.

The Inheritance (as in the title of the same award-winning epic play now being presented in a moving and masterly production at Bethesda’s Round House Theatre) is the legacy that must be respected, remembered and passed on from generation to generation so that a record of the tortuous winding road of LGBTQ history can never be forgotten or erased.

Today's subject Robert Sella is currently living his theatre life onstage at Round House Theatre as he prepares to begin performances of Matthew López's epic play The Inheritance. The show is performed in two parts and will begin performances on August 27th running through October 19th.

Round House Theatre will open its 2025–2026 Season with the regional premiere of The Inheritance, Parts One and Two, a groundbreaking work by Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López. See who is starring and learn how to purchase tickets.

Those looking for a break from election discourse this month may find welcome reprieve in Mosaic Theater Company's deeply compassionate production, THE ART OF CARE, on stage now through November 24.

Mosaic Theater Company will present the world premiere of The Art of Care, a world premiere theatrical event exploring how we care for, and are cared for by, others. Conceived and directed by Derek Goldman, performances run October 31 to November 24, 2024, at the Atlas Performing Arts Center.

Get a first look at La Cage Aux Folles at Barrington Stage Company in this all-new video! The production stars Alex Michaels, aka Alexis Michelle as Albin and Tom Story as Georges. 

'We’re extremely fortunate to have Alex Michaels, perhaps best known for their drag persona Alexis Michelle on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” and the dashing Tom Story as our Albin and Georges. With a brilliant cast and helmed by Mike Donohue with high-flying choreography from Paul McGill, we think BSC audiences are in for a treat.” I wholeheartedly agree.

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.
