With the mayhem, warfare and epic egos of Henry the Fourth, Part 1 well under their belts, Brave Spirits Theatre now turns its talents towards one of the more challenging history plays in Shakespeare's canon, Henry the Fourth, Part 2.
Regina Taylor's Crowns is the story of a young teen from Brooklyn sent to live with her grandmother after the traumatic death of her brother.
Overall, 'La Clemenza di Tito' is an interesting take on the beloved Mozart piece, though it feels very rough as a production, and the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater may not be the ideal venue for this staging.
The production's strong design and sense of style provide for a terrific, if slightly uneven, evening.
At the end of the evening, sitting in the National Theatre, I was impressed with the care the cast and creative team took to present this story onstage.
'Heroine' handles a number of deep, complex issues.
ABT does the melodrama of 'Giselle' with an acute attention to detail, diversity and dramatic flair.
Angry irony does not usually get used to describe the lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein.
With very few exceptions stage musicals based off of comic books and horror movies are never truly successful.
When her husband suddenly dies in a traffic accident, an opera singer mourns, but also wants to get in touch with the organ recipient.
Imagination Stage's Zomo The Rabbit: A Hip-Hop Creation Myth, directed by Raymond O.
As a reviewer you generally find something wrong with a production no matter how much you enjoy it.
Synetic Theater is known for bringing their audiences on a journey through creative movement and dancing.
I do not feel qualified to assess the performance of HUFF at the Kennedy Center.
In its annual Kennedy Center residency, the company tackles gun violence, love, youth and more in a program that includes new works and the seminal classic a?oeRevelations.
Playwright Marco Ramirez's The Royale at 1st Stage is a rare and thought-provoking theatre experience.
This is the second installment in Charlene V.
Everyone once in a while a project is announced that basically sounds fool proof.
Yes, Washington, even in these cynical times, fairy tales do come true.
Grey Rock, written and directed by Amir Nizar Zuabi and commissioned and produced by Alexandra Aron from the Remote Theater Project, is a masterful reflection of an ordinary, modern-day man in an dilapidated Palestinian village, who has high ambitions to build a rocket, reach the moon, and more impo
There is certainly a dramatic story to be told behind the highly successful '60s folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, from their brief high school success that got them on 'American Bandstand' to their later 1960s stardom, their love/hate relationship and mutual artistic dependence.
The city lights of Washington may typically obscure the night sky, but a portal to the cosmos has opened in downtown DC.
The traveling ballet works that tend to fill the Kennedy Center Opera House are usually the big, brand name costumed works - 'The Nutcracker,' 'Swan Lake' (a version of which played last week; another is coming in April) and 'The Sleeping Beauty,' which in fact the National Ballet of Canada is doing
Spring Awakening is the classic teen coming of age story, plus death, group mastrubation, nudity, and a failed abortion.
