BWW Review: THE EXPLORERS CLUB at Prologue Theatre
Prologue Theatre's 'The Explorers Club' is both immensely funny and immensely profound. The careful attention to detail and context pays off greatly, and the result is a wonderful experience for the audience.

Keegan Theatre Presents DC Premiere of UNNECESSARY FARCE
The Keegan Theatre opens 2018 with the Washington, DC premiere of Paul Slade Smith's award-winning stage comedy, UNNECESSARY FARCE. Opening on January 23, this delightfully hilarious comedy is directed by Ray Ficca and features actors Jon Townson, Noah Shaefer, Mario Baldessari, Karen Novack, Emily Levey, Jenna Lawrence and Christopher Herring. Ray Ficca most recently appeared on the Keegan stage as Flan in SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION. 'We're thrilled to have Ray back at Keegan, this time in the director's seat,' says Susan Marie Rhea, Keegan's artistic director and Ficca's co-star in SIX DEGREES. 'He brings a deep familiarity with this piece and its playwright, a natural sense of the rhythm and energy that farce requires, and an approach to directing that perfectly suits Keegan's aesthetic and collaborative culture. We're eager for UNNECESSARY FARCE to open, so that we can delight and uplift our Keegan audiences during this cold and often dreary season!'

BWW Reviews: Next Stop Puts on the Dog, Hilariously, with SYLVIA
Ever heard the old adage that you should never share the stage with a dog? Next Stop Theatre's production of A. R. Gurney's empty-nest comedy 'Sylvia' shows it goes double when an actress is the one playing a dog. Sherry Berg has one of the most entertaining roles imaginable-Sylvia the mutt, part poodle (mais oui) and part street ('sup). Her shameless, joyful romp is the highlight of the show.
Photo Flash: First Look at Washington Stage Guild's INVENTING VAN GOUGH
The Washington Stage Guild begins its 28th Season of our distinctive repertory, an array of eloquent plays of idea and argument, passion and wit-smArt Theatre for a smart town. The Washington Stage Guild's 2013-2014 season will focus on the fundamental basis of all art - the imagination, and kicking it off is the Washington area premiere of Steven Dietz' Inventing Van Gogh, a clever and time-twisting look at Van Gogh and his legacies, both real and imagined, as a contemporary young painter is commissioned to forge a lost painting, but then must justify his decisions to Vincent himself. This is the first work by prolific American playwright Dietz, whose Rancho Mirage was recently seen at Olney Theatre, to be produced by the Stage Guild, and its complex look at art, inspiration, and integrity make it a perfect start for a season-long exploration of the power of imagination in our lives.
