Washington’s highly regarded Spooky Action Theater, long a leader in innovative and creative programming, features two debuts to close its 2022-23 season: one is the first production selected and helmed by the company’s new artistic director, Elizabeth Dinkova; the other is the area premiere of a powerfully resonant play by one of the country’s leading […]

Plenty of speculation and mythology has accumulated over the centuries since her (probable) execution for helping her fellow Italian wives become happy, wealthy widows via the administration of a secret house-blend of undectable […]

Local legend and longtime Everyman Theatre company member Bruce Nelson joined me to share his thoughts on playing the iconic role of Elwood Dowd in Mary Chase’s beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning 1945 comedy, Harvey. Made famous by the film starring Jimmy Stewart, and featuring an invisible (possibly imaginary) anthropomorphic rabbit, the play offers slapstick and hijinks a-plenty […]

Playwrights (and sisters) Chloe and Kaylah Harvey spoke with me about their world-premiere play finishing its run at 7.30 PM on March 9th and 10th at the Turpin-Lamb Theater in Murphy Fine Arts Center of Morgan State University. What began as a one-semester credit has evolved over the years into a two-act epic family drama […]

Earlier, I had the welcome opportunity to chat briefly with playwright Lila Rose Kaplan, whose intimate but magical, profound but wonderfully mischievous new play, The Magician’s Daughter, will have a free public reading on Monday, February 13th at 7pm at Washington, DC’s Spooky Action Theater. We chatted about the play’s origins out of a silent […]
