Review: PATTI LUPONE: A LIFE IN NOTES at Kennedy Center
The triple -threat talent of the charismatic performer Patti LuPone was on full display at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall on Friday evening---and, oh! What a night it was!

Review: ALONZO KING LINES BALLET: DEEP RIVER at Kennedy Center
The visionary eye of Choreographer Alonzo King creates such complex choreographic movement from his gifted ensemble of twelve contemporary ballet dancers, that you will miss a tantalizing moment if you avert your eyes for even a nano-second.

Review: LITTLE WOMEN at Capital One Hall

Review: REEFER MADNESS at NextStop Theatre Company
