The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Washington, DC.
An air of breezy improvisation (spurred on by challenges from the audience –wordplay, free association and audience interaction are all involved) is on-hand in the District Fringe offering entitled Out of My Wheelhouse.
Inappropriate crushes are best left to oneself, especially when it involves a married person — a lesson never learned by Owen (Ryan Sellers), the lead character in Greg Kalleres’ comedy “Apropos of Nothing” making its DC premiere at the Keegan Theatre.
Homesick for Charlot and Marcel Marceau? Fringe has a show for that--go to Go and watch an hour of nearly word-free 'teatro' by Rodin Alcerro and Pablo Guillén, two drifters, off to see the world.
'Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson' runs only slightly over an hour, but one leaves with a greater appreciation for our common humanity, regardless of race and gender.
What did our critic think of A GUIDE TO MODERN POSSESSION at District Fringe? Dial or text 988 if you or someone you know are having suicidal thoughts.

While the show currently isn’t on Netflix anymore, the beloved Kim family’s story lives on in productions like Olney Theatre’s Kim's Convenience, directed by Aria Velz.
Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief was published in 2005 and exploded in popularity, sparking a massive franchise and countless other books, and creating a shift in middle grade culture toward ancient mythologies and pantheons much to the delight of many a social studies teacher.
While the musical adaptation of 'A Wrinkle in Time' has its flaws, there’s a lot of promise in this initial staging, and the show has the potential to live a long life, bringing this beloved story to new and devoted audiences alike.
With a dreamy blend of nature and showtunes, Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre and Wolf Trap delivered a sparkling evening of performances at their fifth annual Broadway in the Park concert.
If you have a kid in elementary school, the wildly popular Dory Fantasmagory book series is likely on your radar.
The final play of the season at Studio Theatre comes with some environmental warnings.
The tale sometimes tilts toward melodrama but is deeply moving all the same.

The National Tour production team has crafted a fine Les Miz 2.
August Wilson is one of America’s greatest playwrights, and The Piano Lesson may be one of his greatest works.
What can one say about Hunter S.
Andrea Stolowitz's 90-minute autobiographical play, The Berlin Diaries, challenges her two actors, and Dina Thomas and Lawrence Redmond meet the heck out of all the challenges; they play multiple roles readily and skillfully.
This is BRB’s Kennedy Center premiere and a testament to both BRB’s Director Carlos Acosta CBE and the Center for supporting risky endeavors like this that seek to stretch the boundaries of what ballet is and should be.
The play King James –now at the Round House Theatre ---is like a pleasurable afternoon shooting hoops with a friend in the summer.
Emily Burns' adaptation of 'Frankenstein,' brings a new perspective, and perfectly captures the Gothic atmosphere, the struggle between creation and responsibility, and what family means – all the elements that keep bringing us back to this story.
Andy Warhol really did go to Iran.
It’s hard to miss Lucy Eden when she bursts onto the intimate playing space at Spooky Action’s basement theatre for its production of CIRCUS OF THE SELF.
