by Dara Homer - December 06, 2021
The story of Cinderella has been told and retold around the world countless times, from its probable origins in Egypt to the Brothers Grimm version to dozens of film and TV renditions.

BWW Review: GAY MEN'S CHORUS OF WASHINGTON DC ---THE HOLIDAY SHOW
by David Friscic - December 06, 2021
The joyous holiday sleighride of rich musical moments and enthusiastic commitment continues as the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington (GMCW) presents The Holiday Show. This dedicated group has entertained the LGBTQ community for decades and it is refreshing to see them live in concert at their holiday offering. GMCW has plunged ahead during this daunting era with their effective outreach and fine virtual offerings, but it was so delightful to see them live in concert once again. These grueling times demand a little lift, and this is the group that can fill the bill with top-notch musical energy.

BWW Review: Olney Theatre Center's A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A GHOST STORY OF CHRISTMAS Shines Especially Bright This Season!
by Andrew White - December 06, 2021
When we first enter the Mulitz-Gedelsky Theater Lab at Olney, we see a thrust stage decked out with a wide variety of Victorian-style bric-a-brac, strategically tossed about by Scenic Designer Jacob A. Climer. Forget the tree and the lights, forget the boxes with tacky wrapping, I’ll take the pile of stuff here any time--it's Christmas all over again!

BWW Review: DORRANCE DANCE at The Kennedy Center
by Dara Homer - December 05, 2021
Dorrance Dance notes on their website that “tap dance is a subversive form.” The radical delight, playfulness, and palpable trust between the members of the Dorrance Dance company feels beautifully subversive in another holiday season of covid anxiety, distancing, and skepticism. What better time, then, for Dorrance Dance to share tap dancing with the next generation and celebrate its legacy of resilience and joy in the face of adversity.

BWW Review: A Subtle SEVEN GUITARS at Arena Stage
by Benjamin Tomchik - December 04, 2021
August Wilson’s story of seven friends in post-war Pittsburgh may take a while to get started, but don’t let the slow pace or lengthy run time fool you. The play, and Arena’s production, have all the ingredients of great drama - rich characters, powerful writing, and human introspection - and together they simmer and tell a timeless story about race and economic inequality in America.

by Rachael F. Goldberg - November 25, 2021

BWW Review: SECRET THINGS at 1st Stage
by Pamela Roberts - November 24, 2021
SECRET THINGS by Elaine Romero examines faith and human connection – today and through generations. A very sure and charismatic cast and an intriguing history of the hidden Jewish roots in communities of the U.S. Southwest can’t quite make up for a problematic script.
