- $15, all shows thru May 19 for The Amazing and Marvelous Cabinets of Kismet by Wit’s End Puppets
($10, students and seniors)
Kismet lives contentedly in a crowded world of cabinets and drawers. When his home is destroyed, he flees and finds himself in a strange new world made completely of paper, where he must adapt to his new environment. This production uses a unique combination of puppets made from recycled objects and paper to tell the story of a fantasy world that is visually unusual but perhaps not all that different from our own. Intended for adult audiences. Order online or pay at the door. Mead Theater Lab at Flashpoint, 916 G St. NW, Washington, DC.
- $1o preview tickets to new Synetic show, May 8 at 8 pm
Synetic mounts a brand-new adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas’ novel, The Three Musketeers. Adapted by Peter and Ben Cunis. Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili. ”Dumas’ language-direct yet poetic, rough yet elegant-is a direct reflection of the breathless action throughout his novel and our adaptation of it. Throughout this story, characters physically collide and streak past each other from one end of France to the other, as they simultaneously and unavoidably crash together verbally-whether in brawls, duels, or in the bedroom.” Features Synetic veterans Dallas Tolentino, Ben Cunis, Hector Reynoso, Dan Istrate, Brynn Tucker, and Peter Pereyra. Irina Tsikurishvili, last seen on stage a year ago in The Taming of the Shrew, will return to spotlight as the treacherous Milady. The play runs May 9 – June 9. At Synetic Theater, Crystal City, VA – 1800 S. Bell St., Arlington, VA 22202. Details and tickets.
- Free Reading of new play by Adi Stein, Sunday, May 12 at 7pm
Add ‘playwright’ to actor/director Adi Stein’s growing list of credits. He describes his play The Will: ”The Whitmans are a conniving bunch, so it?s no surprise that the patriarch?s funeral has nothing to do with the deceased himself. What starts as a memoriam quickly turns for the worse. This comedy explores what it means to be a family — one that has to deceive, cheat, and steal to get just what they want. And you thought your family was rough.” Directed by Jacob Janssen. As The Wonderland Ballroom, 1101 Kenyon St NW, Washington, DC. Register to attend at EventBrite

Only Bobby can find the answer in this witty and piercing examination of matrimony. For how else can you treat marriage, but as a comedy?Runs May 21 – June 30 in the MAX theatre. Details and tickets.
