P. Nokio, written and directed by hip hop performing artist Psalmayene 24, hits a fun and groovy downbeat. Playing the main character, Psalmayene 24 takes on the stiff mannerisms of an artificial image plucked from an electronic game and given a body by the graffiti fairy, the irresistible Paige Hernandez, who makes dreams come true.

Almost, Maine

Welcome to winter wonderland, presented by 1st Stage. If you’ve been to this theater, things will seem a little different this time. The arena-like seating is curtained off for the performance, and chairs are placed in the round on the stage itself. Getting to your seats will be tricky with very strict no-walking-on-the-stage’s-set rules in place. Seated, you just might feel a chill, with much of the stage covered in theatrical snow, with more to follow as the play progresses. As you wait for the actors to take the stage, chilly music, reminiscent of George Winston’s album “December” plays on the sound system. [Read more...]

Blood Wedding

When the lights come up, Death, impersonated by an ominous, stone-faced Matthew Pauli, stands center stage, softly playing a ukulele. Death, who is biding his time, often grinning, even leering, stalks with a cane through just about every scene and takes delight in lovers’ quarrels and family friction. [Read more...]
Devil Boys from Beyond

Landless Theatre is at it again. Yes, the company that brings you inane post-modern theatre, has hit another one: Devil Boys from Beyond, premiering this February, and though it’s a triple to the right field wall rather than a grand slam, it’s still worthy of a trip to Adams-Morgan. [Read more...]
