Review: Sanctuary City at Arena Stage
Martyna Majok is easily one of the modern-day theatre’s finest playwrights. You might remember her play Ironbound being performed at Round House Theatre a few seasons ago. You might also know her as the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Cost of Living which concludes a successful Broadway run at Ma...

ELEGIES: A SONG CYCLE at Keegan Theatre
The Keegan Theatre is presenting a moving and sensitive production of composer William Finn’s Elegies: A Song Cycle. This is a work of disarming autobiographical elements that underscore Finn’s alternately quirky and elegiac lyrics. Finn’s music is shot through with a sense of longing and ...

Review: DRACULA at Synetic Theatre
What did our critic think of DRACULA at Synetic Theatre? Synetic Theatre's signature style of silent, motion filled acting lends itself well to this adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel of the same name. Dracula is the tale of a wounded warrior granted eternal life as a vampire during the Turkish ...
Review: HOLIDAY at Arena Stage
Philip Barry's 1928 classic is a romantic comedy, as advertised, but its layers of bittersweet emotional valence come through in this handsome production, directed by Anita Maynard-Losh....

Review: THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL at Ford's Theatre
The Trip to Bountiful at Ford's Theatre is an incredible showcase for Nancy Robinette, one of Washington’s foremost actors, who skillfully drives the production as Mrs. Carrie Watts who yearns to leave the small Houston apartment of her son and daughter-in-law to return to her Texas homeland, Boun...
Review: SERGIO MENDES at Strathmore
This show was lively and joyful, giving the audience what they wanted and more. Mendes is a true gift to music as his legacy continues to live on....
Review: HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING at Studio Theatre
The “awful grace of God” (from Aeschylus----prominently displayed on Robert F. Kennedy’s grave) has been a line I all too well understand as a Catholic---in the current and intellectually thrilling production of Heroes of the Fourth Turning, Aeschylus is more than apt. These characters are g...
Review: OUR BLACK DEATH by Taffety Punk Battles for Love at the End of the World
Taffety Punk returns to the stage in full force with their production of Our Black Death: Plagues, Turnips, and Other Romantic Gestures, directed by Marcus Kyd is all at once hilarious, shocking, and bittersweet in its exploration of love during a plague....

Review: MLIMA'S TALE at 1st Stage Theatre
