FORUM THEATRE

AGNES UNDER THE BIG TOP

By Aditi Brennan Kapil

September 5 - 28, 2013

Six lives intersect in this comic adventure about immigrant life in America. A Liberian nurse, a Bulgarian one-time ringmaster and his wife, an Indian subway driver trainee, a nomadic busker, and a bedridden woman pursue dreams, peace, and a place in this strange new world.

MEENA'S DREAM

By Anu Yadav

January 8 - 19, 2014

During the day, seven-year-old Meena wishes that her mother could get well; and by night, the Hindu God Lord Krishna appears, entreating Meena's help in his war against the Worry Machine. Meena's Dream creates a fantastical world through storytelling and live music, from South Indian classical to indie folk.

PLUTO

By Steve Yockey

February 20 - March 15, 2014

A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. The morning after a local school tragedy, a single mother attempts to reconnect with her son. But strange forces keep interfering: the new family dog has three heads, an angry mob has gathered outside, and a chilling figure has occupied the refrigerator.

THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT

By Stephen Adly Guirgis

May 22 - June 14, 2014

In purgatory, Judas is on trial, yet so overwhelmed by guilt that he cannot speak in his own defense. So lawyers, witnesses, saints, and even the Devil try the case without him, debating punishment, redemption, and the nature of free will.

DOG & PONY DC

BEERTOWN

By dog & pony dc

In repertory, October 3 - 19, 2013

Which tells the story of our town's history better: a pair of glasses or a license plate? A projector or a bottle of beer? Visit a place where remembering is a communal act, and everyone's opinion is heard and counted: Beertown. Part-civic ceremony, part-theatrical pageant, dog & pony dc's Beertown explores the dynamic and tenuous relationship between individuals and their community. (Each Beertown performance begins with a dessert potluck; please bring a dessert to share.) "Gently satiric and utterly involving" - Washington Post

A KILLING GAME

By dog & pony dc

In repertory, October 3 - 19, 2013

In a not-so-distant time and place, a deadly plague begins killing the citizenry - inexplicably, indiscriminately, and fast! Can you play against death, and win? How far will you go? How much fun can you have? We can't all die, can we? A Killing Game is dog & pony dc's absurdist-play-meets-party-game that promises the most fun you'll ever have dying.

HAPPENSTANCE THEATER

4th Annual, All New CABARET MACABRE

By Happenstance Theater

October 25 - November 3, 2013

It's back with all-new fun! Cabaret Macabre is a series of dark, comic vignettes, songs, and physical comedy expertly executed. Inspired by Edward Gorey, Victorian nightmares, dangerous croquet, gothic romance, afternoon tea, and perils of the deep, it features music played live with deadly flare and Happenstance Theater's witty, visual theatrical collage. "A Gorey illustration brought to life." - Washington Post

IMPOSSIBLE! A HAPPENSTANCE CIRCUS

By Happenstance Theater

January 31 - February 9, 2014

Happenstance Theater returns to RHT Silver Spring with a brand new piece of original, performer-created visual, poetic theater.
