Agnes is a tough, drug and booze-fueled, down-and-out bartender living in a seedy motel room somewhere in Oklahoma when her lesbian best friend brings a paranoid drifter named Peter over for a night of snorting, smoking and drinking.
For Trish, David Coverdale is her muse.
She has something special, and a vocal ability that exceeds her young age.
The anonymous hospital room full of false cheer.
Even though Beautiful may not be a perfect show, it's still a fun night out and a reminder that Carole King is as a part of the American songbook as is Cole Porter and Irving Berlin.
It may be surprising and a little disappointing that one of the latest world premieres in the Women's Voices Theatre Festival is about a woman who fixates on a man to solve all her problems.
One thing is certain, when the lights go down in the Synetic Theater space, they will not come up on the expected; the imaginative company's signature is their unique and creative approach to storytelling on stage.
Clare Lizzimore's challenging play benefits from the immersive and intimate staging that Director Gaye Taylor Upchurch has conjured up for this inaugural Studio X production, as well as some excellent acting.
Romance must be in the air—maybe it's the invigorating chill of fall weather and the crunch of leaves underfoot, but whatever the reason it's time for Quotidean to offer a heart-warmer of a play as its season opener.
Explore a world of shadows in music in this world premiere.
Jessica Dickey's world-premiere comedic drama THE GUARD, currently playing at Ford's Theatre, paints masterful depictions of not only Rembrandt and Homer, but also those in modern times who cherish their works and wish to find beauty and memory themselves.
Composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's musical is smashing.
Superb cast at Toby's is not to be missed.
Part history lesson, part argument for female empowerment, and part enticing family drama, the compelling and beautifully staged and acted production goes above and beyond your standard theatre for young audiences offering.
It's not easy being Queen.
Pregnancy is certainly a woman's issue.
Surprising and unique is the name of the game here.
DESTINY OF DESIRE playwright Karen Zacarias and director Jose Luis Valenzuela combine theatre and telenovela to give DC audiences a hilarious yet insightful look at the stories we love to say we never watch.
Poised to take you to heaven with a song, a prayer and a tug at the heartstrings, SISTER ACT THE MUSICAL is a blessing that needs no disguise.
World Premiere Adaption by Christopher Baker may even have enough legs for Broadway.
You'd hardly identify E.
UPRISING, premiering at MetroStage, is a powerful and engaging work that asks what choices we make to ensure freedom and for what would we sacrifice it.
I've been watching Ms.
For a perfect evening's entertainment, let's begin with a big city and a cozy circle of single girls on the lookout for the Man of Their Dreams-or a reasonable, one-night facsimile.
Washington National Opera began what may be one of its more artistically challenging seasons Saturday with the most crowd-pleasing production.
