Review: THE WIZ at The National Theatre
A tremendous cast breathes new life into this Broadway classic.
Review: THE MINUTES at Keegan Theatre
Ninety minutes of a play that detail the utter pompousness, redundancies, calls to “shelve” or postpone important actions, and the ignoring of vital new community comments, are only some of the bureaucratic and provincial rules, regulations, and idiocies of what can constitute The Minutes of a c
Review: I PUT A SPELL ON YOU: NINA SIMONE at Signature Theatre
There is no question that actress/singer/not of this world performer Felicia Curry is true DC theatre royalty.
Review: TRAVESTY at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
Many of us, if we’re lucky, will find physical spaces in a disingenuous world that embody our essence, the core of who we truly are.
Review: ONE DESTINY at Ford's Theatre
When it comes to the arts, there are a lot of things in DC that go either unnoticed or get lost in the shuffle.

Review: Kari Jobe Carnes and Cody Carnes at Kennedy Center

I like to cook.
Review: I'M HERE: BLACK BROADWAY at Signature Theatre
Besides being the premiere theatre for musicals in the DMV, Signature Theatre also has a highly successful cabaret series.
Review: HAMNET at Shakespeare Theatre Company
It’s a little surprising that in 40 years, that a production from the Royal Shakespeare Company has never before visited Washington’s Shakespeare Theatre Company (though the opposite is true — a Shakespeare Theater Company production of “Love’s Labor’s Lost” played Stratford-upon-Avon
Review: TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL at Capital One Hall
The touring production took a while to find its musical footing but eventually found its diva swagger.
Review: DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at The National Theatre
The National Tour production of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' is a fun show with a sincere love for the story it is telling, and it honors that with care and joy while helping bring the story to new and returning audiences alike.
Review: EUREKA DAY at Theater J
Eureka Day, the Tony Award winning play (for best Revival in 2025) by Jonathan Spector, is getting a top-notch production at Theater J directed by Hayley Finn.
Review: JONAH at Studio Theatre
There is expert craftsmanship and technical polish in the production of Jonah, now playing at the always professional Studio Theatre, but there is also a feeling of detachment and insularity in this play by Rachel Bonds.

The new vision of As You Like It at Folger Theatre feels both timeless and unmistakably local – a Shakespearean comedy that rings true not just in the marble halls of Washington, but in the city’s living, breathing neighborhoods.
