by Sarah Murphy - August 12, 2021

BWW Review: Kensington Arts Theatre's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is Murderous Fun
by Andrew White - August 09, 2021
It’s time to get out, people. I mean, let’s face it – you can only get by for so long on Disney+ or Netflix before you want a taste of living flesh—er, live theatre. With their production of 'And Then There were None,' Kensington Arts Theatre has got a great evening out – if you don’t mind the occasional gunshot, offstage shrieks, or bodies lying around. Great fun, I’d say.

BWW Review: Quotidian Theatre Company's THE DAY EMILY MARRIED a Beautiful Swan Song
by Andrew White - August 07, 2021
Bethesda's own Quotidian Theatre, which has been a true labor of love and art, after nearly 25 years on the D.C. theatre scene, is making an appropriately subtle, and grand, exit. Horton Foote's intensely psychological drama, The Day Emily Married, is a piece that Artistic Director Jack Sbarbori famously brought to life, staging its world premiere and making Quotidian's reputation at the same time. His relationship with Foote has been a hallmark of Quotidian's work, and it's easy to see why.
