Half-Price tickets for Arena's " Damn Yankees"

By: Charles Shubow Jan. 31, 2006

Well...there is an alternative to staying home to watch the "State of the Union" on Tuesday night.

Head to Washington's Arena Stage and enjoy the acclaimed production of "Damn Yankees for 50% all tickets on Tuesday, January 31 and Wednesday, February 1.

With the 250th birthday of our nation approaching this July 4th, Ford’s Theatre’s current attraction, the musical that tells the how the Declaration of Independence came to be, 1776 is indeed the best choice for this historic theatre to be presenting for the occasion. With a score by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, 1776 ranks in my opinion as a perfect musical and there are only a handful of those.

Feature: SONDHEIM AWARD GALA: Vanessa Williams Tenacity, Talent, and Artistry

I have always been tantalized by the triple threat talent of Vanessa Williams. Ever since I sat with my family and saw her on television singing “Happy Days are Here Again” to become the first Miss America of color, she has become an artistic and cultural presence in my life. At pivotal moments of life experience, her recordings, television appearances, stage appearances, and concerts have become an integral part of my artistic consciousness. As a gay person, I instinctively sensed that she would understand me if she ever met me. Little did I know that she would meet me after a concert and pose for a great picture or that I would be writing this feature story on her well-deserved Signature Theatre Sondheim Award at the Sondheim Award Gala in Washington, DC. (held at The Anthem venue on March 16, 2026).
