The young talent will be sharing his music at one of the newest music venues in the Washington, DC area, AMP by Strathmore. Mr. Bwarie graciously took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions from BroadwayWorld.Com - Washington, DC about where he's been in his career, how he approaches the creative process, and of course his upcoming concert on Sunday, November 15 in North Bethesda, Maryland.

There's probably nothing more thrilling than to have an opportunity to listen to the works of some of the musical theatre composers that the world might not know - yet, that is. As part of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers' (ASCAP) Musical Theatre Week at the Kennedy Center, local audiences will have such an exciting opportunity - for free!

All in all, one might chalk this one up as a 'miss,' but it's not a complete miss thanks to the talent involved.

Much of what transpires onstage on Jason Sherwood's realistic set is quite hilarious, but at the core of this world premiere musical we also have a sweet and charming story that's not so much about man vs. woman in the standard and expected way. It's more than that. And that's a good thing.

She has something special, and a vocal ability that exceeds her young age.

Fifteen year old classical crossover artist Jackie Evancho - who first drew national attention on America's Got Talent, and has since put out multiple albums and has performed worldwide - will make her Music Center at Strathmore debut tonight, October 10. In advance of the concert, entitled 'Awakening,' Ms. Evancho graciously answered a few questions from BroadwayWorld.Com.

Clare Lizzimore's challenging play benefits from the immersive and intimate staging that Director Gaye Taylor Upchurch has conjured up for this inaugural Studio X production, as well as some excellent acting.

Part history lesson, part argument for female empowerment, and part enticing family drama, the compelling and beautifully staged and acted production goes above and beyond your standard theatre for young audiences offering.

Surprising and unique is the name of the game here.

As Act Two at Levine's 2015-2016 season gets into full swing, Kevin Kuchar was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about what the cast members in all three Act Two Programs (Pre-Professional, Mainstage, and First Act) will experience this season, and offer some insights on the value of educational theatre through an email-based Q&A with BroadwayWorld.Com.

I've been watching Ms. Ursula onstage in the DC area for years, and she's never failed to impress, but her performance here is simply at another level. I am glad she had the opportunity, under Eleanor Holdridge's thoughtful direction, to show us all of what she can do - and in a locally grown, thought-provoking, world premiere play at that.

Wajdi Mouawad's SEULS is memorable....

If I were to describe Martyna Majok's IRONBOUND in but a few words, I would refer to it as follows: "a deceptively simple, thought-provoking, and elegant work of art." This world premiere is Round House Theatre's contribution to Washington, DC's unprecedented Women's Voices Theater Festival, and it's a decidedly unmissable one to be sure.

This is the kind of theatre piece one does not often see in the Fringe and it's one with some promise.

I am happy to report that there's a lot to like in this drama with comedic undertones. If it is to have a future – whether in New York or elsewhere – there's a more than solid foundation from which to build.

The production is not without its challenges, but one has to certainly admire Producing Artistic Director Michael J. Bobbitt's drive to push the theatre to the next level.

It's quite easy to root for the success of the National Children's Theatre if this inaugural production is indicative of the kind of work it will bring to our community.

I had more fun at this Fringe production than I have at any other in a very long time.

While it addresses a most timely issue and would likely do well on the educational circuit, the production is unfortunately lacking in, well (it must be said)…theatricality.

Let's chalk this one up to a work in progress.
