BWW Review: TREASURE ISLAND at We Happy Few
The model that We Happy Few Productions has built and perfected over the last seven years is, for my money, one of the most admirable and sustainable of any theatre company in DC. Their goal is to make classical stories (traditionally Shakespeare, though they've wisely branched out of late) accessible to audiences by way of simple, direct storytelling. By utilizing smaller, versatile casts, succinct text preparation and adaptation, and straightforward yet dynamic design elements, they hone in on what makes a story endure by working the imagination. Every show by We Happy Few feels like an event, and I am especially fond of the energy they're bringing to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, their first-ever traveling production - an apt format for this particular tale. This review covers the performance on Monday, May 6th at 7:30pm at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

BWW Review: HENRY V at We Happy Few
Shakespeare's HENRY V gains new perspective with a retelling by We Happy Few Productions that takes a closer look at the stories and stakes of the everyday foot soldiers. It is a fascinating, resonant, and important new take on a known work that's only around for another week, so make plans now to take it in.

BWW Reviews: Ideas Pop at Dog & Pony DC's TOAST
Toast playfully explores innovation, technology, crowd-sourcing and the very roots of inspiration. You don't 'see' a show at dog & pony dc, you become part of it. Dog & pony is committed to "Audience Integration" or participatory theatre - that means when you attend a show you are intimately knit into all that is unfolding. Dog & pony takes great delight in shattering the fourth wall that supposedly separates actors and audience. The Toast ensemble actively engages everyone in the room - questioning, touching, nudging, mumbling, seeking a reaction.

dog & pony dc's A KILLING GAME Heads to Capital Fringe and Beyond, Beg. Today
dog & pony dc will present a 'second edition' of their original play, A Killing Game, in conjunction with Washington, DC's Capital Fringe Festival in July of 2013. An absurdist-play-meets-party-game that The Washington Post noted 'the gratification is immediate' and dubbed it 'more Airplane than Andromeda Strain,' A Killing Game promises audiences the most fun they'll ever have dying. The show, and the game within it, begins with the outbreak of a deadly disease. Audience and performers together play along in series of scenes, contests, and songs led by game show host, Mr. Chrome, and the seductive but elusive 'Our Friend in Black.'
