The Chinese Lady by Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh tells the true story of Afong Moy, a woman displayed as a living exhibit in 1800s America. The play offers an intimate, funny, and deeply moving exploration of performance, identity, and who gets remembered in the telling of...
Snowed In is an original Christmas musical by Corinne Park-Buffelen and Mathew Wright, with music by David Taylor Gomes. The show celebrates the messy joy of collaboration as a group of artists trapped together by a winter storm attempt to create the perfect holiday show...
Red is the Tony Award-winning play by John Logan about the famous Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko. Master painter Rothko and his young assistant clash over art, ambition, legacy, and what it means to create work that truly matters, offering a searing portrait of the artist's...
anthropology by Lauren Gunderson blends emotional intimacy with psychological suspense in a gripping story about grief, artificial intelligence, and the desperate human need to stay connected to the people we love. Gunderson is recognized as America's most-produced playwright...
P.Y.G. or The Mis-Edumacation of Dorian Belle by Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm is a hilarious comedy and blistering satire inspired by Shaw's Pygmalion with a hip-hop spin. A reality-show-style collision of hip-hop, celebrity culture, race, and performance spirals into a wildly...

In Washington Ensemble Theatre’s Blood/Sucker, there’s something lurking in the shadows of the public high school, something that wants to suck the life out of all who roam the halls, teachers and students alike. Is it gun violence? Internet trolls? Bullying? Racism? Transphobia? Food insecurity…
Dear Readers, when discussing the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre, we need to consider things in two time frames, B.C. and A.C., Before Covid and After Covid. B.C. the show was only in select places such as New York, London, and San Francisco…
Dear Readers, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body …
Alicia Keys can write the hell out of a song. Her catalog has been the soundtrack to heartbreaks and first loves for more than two decades. Hell's Kitchen, the Grammy winner's semi-autobiographical musical now at the Paramount Theatre, is a welcome reminder of just how singular her music really is. …
William Shakespeare’s work, undoubtedly, is an acquired taste. Shakespeare’s poetry of language can turn people off (the Elizabethan language can be hard to follow). Would you believe me if I told you that one way to make his work more approachable is by folding in layers of randomness and cha…
When I think of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I don't think of camp. It's content and presentation are really earnest. But the Taproot Theatre’s latest production leans into ‘camp’ in every sense of the word. Set in a children’s summer camp talent show…
Xian’s performance was a joyful representation of Schiller’s text, ending the rousing evening with an affirmation of much-needed hope for us all. The performance was transcendent in every way.…
One-person productions are typically autobiographical: the performer teaches the audience about themself, as themself. But this seemingly “direct” approach is often not actually revealing, where an artist performs a ritualized series of autobiographical anecdotes that fit into the form’s genre…
There’s a reason Blue Man Group has been beloved for nearly 40 years: their show is pure fun. Packed with electrifying percussion performances, inventive visual storytelling, and laugh-out-loud-worthy comedy, the group's North American tour continues to delight audiences, and their stop at The Par…
Dear Readers, the bio-musical is a tricky thing. Some love them, some hate them. For me, it all depends on if you have an affinity for the music of the subjects, plus it needs a strong book. And then there’s the current show from Village Theatre, “We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon and Pa…
It’s 1978 and protests are breaking out all across Iran, encroaching on this suburb where a tight-knit circle of girlfriends plans weddings, trades dirty jokes, and tries to hang onto a sense of normalcy. But as the revolution escalates, each woman is forced to join the wave of...
A Pulitzer Prize Winning Contemporary Classic. A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity. It was inevitable that two brothers named Lincoln and Booth, names given to them as a joke, would live lives full of sibling rivalry and resentment. Despite it all, their...
The Town & Gown Players unleash an unspeakable (yet catchy) horror with their upcoming production of EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL, a campy stage adaption of the cult horror comedy. Dancing zombies, singing furniture, overly friendly trees, and gallons of gushing blood are on full...
