Flow, which saw its second production, in 2004, at Studio Theatre, is back! Part of Studio Theatre’s first digital season and more specifically featuring a trio of eclectic solo performances, Flow might be called a mixed metaphor.
It doesn't get more site-specific than this, people: Solas Nua's doing a play called In the Middle of the Fields in the middle of a field! Starring as the field, P Street Beach; who knew she's been waiting for her close-up as a legit house all this time?
While this production can be viewed only as a movie currently, I can't help but feel like we are missing something by not being gathered in the same room as Christian for this production.
How He Lied to Her Husband is a charming, 40-minute diversion which will enliven any home, and should be at the top of your to-watch list for this weekend.
Without a doubt, this production is one of the most successful adaptations to the virtual theatre space, going beyond just a filmed version of a live play and embracing this new medium in a truly moving way.
The penultimate program in the Kennedy Center's Young Audiences streamed season features the music of Baltimore-born and D.
In the most trying of times, the Round House Theatre has managed to put together a pretty remarkable season, entirely online but leaning on one-person showcases that eliminated the need of distancing among cast members.
In Mario Vargas Llosa's novel about his early days as a writer, his main character tries and tries again to get his work right.
The title and content of this filmed opera reminded me of a friend with a young biracial relative.
NextStop Theatre Company's 'First Date' has some chemistry, but the script can't figure out quite what genre it wants to be.
Midnight at The Never Get begins as a cabaret act that transforms into a love story and concludes as a meditation on the way we grieve our past selves.
Director Meierjohann has choreographed Juliet Stevenson’s movements through a space as palpable as it is imaginary.
The thing about Romeo and Juliet – but you know this, Grasshopper – is that it isn’t a love story – not at all, not even a little bit.
'10 Seconds' is the product of workshops and discussions between law enforcement, activists, and DC metro youth under the Imagination Stage Youth and Police program.
MetroStage is starting to wind down its lockdown era with a second streamed work of Terrence McNally, the esteemed American playwright who himself died of COVID complications a year ago.
Kennedy Center’s latest digital stage contribution is a fantastic display of how art and education can go hand-in-hand.
DC’s Studio Theatre is known as a leading contemporary theater, and the subject matter of its current production can scarcely be more so.
Hindsight is explores exactly that, what we would have done differently, what we would have told our 2019 selves, and what we should celebrate about how we've pushed through the dumpster fire that was 2020.
Constellation Theatre’s Children of Medea, written and performed by Sue Jin Song, and directed by Allison Arkell Stockman, transcends the usual humdrum of these stories into pure surreal art.
'A More Perfect Union' is very short, but its brilliance is that it takes viewers on a full, deep emotional roller coaster in that brief period of time.
HERE I AM, produced by The Lab and GU Theater & Performance Studies, is a generational story on how slavery and racism impacted Short-Colomb’s family, including her heavenly mothers.
Ford's Theatre will forever be tied to the legacy of Abraham Lincoln who was assassinated there 156 years ago this week.
The Landless Theatre Company's sock puppet rendition of 'Urinetown' feels like a joke gone too far, with no clear audience in mind.
The third of the Kennedy Center’s six online Performances for Young Audiences this spring is a musical one — and one that can be enjoyed by a much wider age range.
Step into Happenstance Theater’s dreamscape; enjoy the lush colors and charm of their short film, “A Rose for Ergensburg.
