Revoltosa—The Troublemaker , now playing at GALA Hispanic Theatre ---is a compelling and lyrical “slice of life” with multiple layers of interest for just about any thinking and feeling human being who is willing to entertain the idea that life is full of mystery, contradictions and certain un
Bernstein's hugely ambitious ecclesiastical fever dream is a beautiful mess well worth experiencing.
What did our critic think of AIN'T NO MO' at Woolly Mammoth?Thanks to Barack Obama's presidency but, alas, because of Rachel Dolezal's wannabe caper, American drama requires some updated, Black-originated satire; Jordan E.
Synetic's Host & Guest depicts the intensity of Kist-Khevsur conflict through an unlikely bond between two strangers.
Best Medicine Rep Theater is offering a lovely remedy for the post-Summer Blues, with their production of Crystal V.
Theater J's season opener, 'Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story' is both a story about refugees who fall in love and a love story to refugees.
The cabaret act turned full-production evening is well executed, but the script and songs are thin and in the Covid era the premise seems like a historical artifact.
The legendary rocker still brings it - his 'My Songs' tour is lean, mean and clean.
Catch the national tour of the six-time Tony Award winning musical on the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Stage through September 25th.
Little Women at NextStop Theater Company is candid, humble, charming, and a great addition to other adaptations like it.
The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith, now playing at the Keegan Theatre, is a skewering send-up of all the shenanigans that polls, pollsters, and the media are involved in.
Given that this was my first time visiting the circus any circus in well over a decade and the first time attending Cirque du Soleil in person, I was not sure what to expect.
The Color Purple is a musical about survival, resilience, and healing.
One-person shows have long been a hallmark of the entertainment world and My Son, The Waiter --now playing at Theater J (the Edlavitch Jewish Community Center of Washington, DC) –continues the trend.

Whether you have seen The Blue Man Group before or are going for the first time, you don’t want to miss out on this otherworldly experience.
With a thoughtful, open message and strong technical elements, 'The Gate' is a nuanced and beautiful examination not just of the conflict in the Middle East, but also at how people relate to one another in big and small ways.
What did our critic think of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM at Folger Theater? This summer, DMV theatergoers have a wide choice of different shows to go and see.
On its last day at Capital Fringe, The Evening Crane Theatre presented Etched Glass Decanter to a sold out audience.
