The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Washington, DC.
It is not often that a singer can enter a stage with a full symphony orchestra playing behind him and hold a sold out crowd of 7,028 people spellbound.
What did our critic think of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Monumental Theatre?
Theater fans should run and catch Ronald Rand’s fascinating solo show about Harold Clurman's life and career, which is part of the Logan Festival of Solo Performance at 1st Stage in Tysons Corner, Virginia through August 30.
Baron Vaughn tells tales of complex family relationships, generational trauma, and breaking that cycle through the way that he parents his own children and manages family life, with just the right amount of comedy.
The Notebook at The National Theatre remarkably utilizes Allie & Noah’s lifelong love as an emotional smokescreen for the underlying calamity, time.
One of the best way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday took place at Wolf Trap this past Saturday evening.
What did our critic think of GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES at Keegan Theatre?
On the park lawn on a summer’s night you can hear them faintly approaching: Nine singers and musicians, some with protest signs, singing “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” gaining volume as they approach.
She bounds on stage in sunglasses, fur and foulard like she’s just taken a Vespa from the Trevi Fountain.
There are certain phrases in life that get me highly excited.
Both a loving tribute to the artistry of Charlie Chaplin and a poignant story of the immigrant experience, this exuberant award-winning production from Synetic Theater runs through August 2 at Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre in Arlington, Virginia
Good theatre can take place practically anywhere if you know what you want out of the experience.
This production of Macbeth took a classic play and, through the use of minimal stage design, presents it in a unique way.

Stagecraft and magic shines a spotlight on the dark ages in Happenstance Theatre's ADRIFT: A MEDIEVAL WAYWARD FOLLY at Round House Theatre.
What did our critic think of B*TCH EAT DOG at District Fringe?
We need plays like Aurin Squire's “My Favorite Psychopath” to remind us that when it comes to shameless, yellow journalism, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
While the volleyball court may be the setting for most matchups, THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT GOD is far more concerned with the action behind the scenes when the athletes stop performing.
Lisa D’Amour offers us a fascinating character study in her latest play, The Smoker, and under the empathetic eye of Director Shelley Butler we are invited into the lives of normal people we routinely pass by without a thought.
The one-word title of this play isn't just a form of direct address; in Argentina, it's a form of 'You!' that turns its gaze away from the stage and back on all of us in the audience.
Playwright Yussef El Guindi has given us a window into many issues at once—too many at once to keep track of, from this critic’s perspective.
For her final production as Artistic Director of Washington, D.
