Review: THE GARBOLOGISTS at Theater Alliance
by Roger Catlin - February 09, 2025
It’s fitting that the Theater Alliance’s terrific new offering “The Garbologists” is presented in a temporary pop-up in the sprawling ground floor of a new apartment building — an industrial, no-frills empty retail space that could serve as a truck garage for the two workers featured in Lindsay Joelle’s sharp play.

Review: PATTI LUPONE: A LIFE IN NOTES at Strathmore
by Mary Lincer - February 07, 2025
In the late 1960s (in her late 60s), cabaret étoile Mabel Mercer added the utterly goofy 'Wait 'til We're 65' (by Lerner & Lane) to her sets; when she was well past 50, Barbara Cook began including Harper & Zippel's wildly funny 'The Ingenue' to her shows, simultaneously sending up her rivals and ageism.

Review: NATIVE GARDENS at NextStop Theatre Company
by Hannah R. Wing - February 06, 2025
There isn’t anything quite like the dynamics between neighbors. You either are best friends with your neighbors, know them in passing, or they are strangers. In NextStop Theatre’s production of Native Gardens, written by Karen Zacarías and directed by Elena Velasco, Pablo (Gabriel Alejandro) and Tania (Cristina Sanchez), a young couple who are expecting a baby, moves into a historic Georgetown rowhouse, right next door to Virginia (Nicole Halmos) and Frank (Matthew Pauli), an older white couple.

Review: SCHMIGADOON at Kennedy Center
by Elliot Lanes - February 04, 2025
During the pandemic, musical theatre lovers were hit with withdrawal. Apple TV took us out of our funk when Schmigadoon hit the air in July of 2021. The series took an original story line and based it around a specific genre of musical theatre. The result had us laughing and singing along for two seasons. The first season was more of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic variety of musical while season two had more of a Chicago/Pippin vibe. For whatever reason, the third season was written but Apple TV elected not to go into production with it.
