Washington DC's Liveliest Theater Website
As editor and publisher of DC Theatre Scene, Lorraine Treanor has the best job in town, and makes it all happen from a log house in Waldorf, MD. She has produced plays and concerts in her hometown of Chicago, and twice in the Capital Fringe Festival. Her daughter Nina Norris is an artist working in Chicago. Life's a blast because writer Tim Treanor is her husband.
Jayne Blanchard described the musical, written by the two creators of the Emmy Award-winning television show “Friends”, as ” replete with light, tuneful ditties with witty lyrics that remind you of Into the Woods without the angst.”
