BWW Review: Will on the Hill and Far Away at Shakespeare Theatre Company
by Timothy Treanor - Jun 9, 2021
“What’s past is prologue” Prospero says in The Tempest, but when the present passes into the past what’s left is Will on the Hill and Far Away, the earnest and frequently successful effort by Congressmen to do Shakespeare funny. In this annual exercise, designed to raise funds for arts education, members of both Houses, as well as various other political luminaries (Washington is crawling with them), put themselves in preposterous situations which magically turn out well, just as characters in the Bard’s plays often do.

Jones, star of Barbara Parks' New York Times bestselling book series. Creators Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich add music and lyrics to create this delightful "world according to Junie" in Junie B. Jones The Musical JR., opening Friday, February 22nd.

No worries, our heroine Junie B. and her all her first-grade wisdom is getting it all figured out in her own unique way. If you're lucky she might even let you read her "Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal!"
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET Asks Theatre Arlington Audiences to Believe
by Julie Musbach - Dec 3, 2018
The iconic holiday classic movie, Miracle on 34th Street, first brought joy into the hearts of millions in the summer of 1947. Although it was and is most definitely a Christmas movie, the original producers chose to release it in May because more people went to the movies in the summer. The fact that it was a Christmas movie was not even included in the marketing campaign. It was kept a secret! Hard to imagine that now, as it has become a holiday tradition for generations.
