He gets the message across through his compositions and vocals.

Interview: Theatre Life with Aaron Posner
by Elliot Lanes - December 12, 2022
Today's subject Aaron Posner is what I call a GOD of DC theatre. He is arguably one of the best interpreters of Shakespeare, Chekov, and so much more. His current production of The Tempest (co-director and co-adapter with Teller, yes, of Penn and Teller) is onstage at Round House Theatre through January 15th. The show is a co-production with Aaron's frequent DC theatre home Folger Theatre.

Student Blog: High School vs. College Theatre
by Student Blogger: Taylor Smith - December 03, 2022
This fall I was cast in my first college production, a play titled The Oregon Trail by Bekah Brunstetter. This was a highly educational and beneficial show process for me and a great start to my college theatre career. As this was the first play I had been a part of since my senior year of high school, I noticed many differences between the rehearsal processes in high school vs. college.

Interview: Theatre Life with Lauren Pekel
by Elliot Lanes - December 01, 2022
Today’s subject Lauren Pekel is currently living her theatre life as the Production Stage Manager for what is easily one of the more technically complex productions running in DC theatre right now.
