Review: ABT'S CRIME AND PUNISHMENT at Kennedy Center
by Emily Berger - February 14, 2025
American Ballet Theatre (ABT) regularly brings new story ballets to DC for their Kennedy Center performances and this year was no different. Crime and Punishment, based on the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, premiered in New York in the fall and is the first full-length ballet by a female choreographer in ABT’s repertory. It’s also a highly complex - and long - story to tell through dance, so I was curious to see if it would be a success.

Review: FUENTEOVEJUNA at GALA Hispanic Theatre
by Audrey Cahak - February 13, 2025
Written in 1613 by Lope de Vega, Fuenteovejuna is widely considered a masterpiece by the most influential playwright from Spain’s golden age. The play depicts a town revolting against tyrannical rule during a period of countrywide political unrest, based on the real events of the Fuenteovejuna village uprising in 1476. Though overzealous rulers terrorize the town, the people are not so easily defeated, and they unify to become stronger than their enemies.

Review: CONSTELLATIONS at Constellation Theatre

The title is not a typo. Hey, what are the odds? Could it be kismet, a prearranged theatrical landing spot, or totally happenstance? And if we cosmically reset the situation, would it happen again in the same way? Would we want it to happen the same way?

Review: HAND TO GOD at Keegan Theatre
by David Friscic - February 10, 2025
The audacious and lively play Hand to God is a daring and yet, an oddly compelling and textured meditation, on society’s hypocrisies set within a more intimate framework of five characters whose minds are tortured with clashes between reason and fiery lust -driven passions. This play makes the puppet -driven 2004 musical Avenue Q look like Mary Poppins by comparison; this play is much more acidic and radically subversive in tone.
