Editor’s Note: In the coming months our contributor Jason Linkins (who recently completed acting in the Rorshach Theater Company‘s production Behold!) will be collaborating with new contributor Missy Frederick to cover D.C.’s vibrant local theater scene for DCist.
Though several local companies use the summertime as a hiatus in production, July 2005 will nevertheless be an active period on the D.C. stages, with many well-regarded favorites from last month sticking around to a host of new openings over the next four weeks. Summer vacation for D.C. theatre goers means politics galore, dramatic new takes on some old plays, a return engagement for one of last season’s most loved Arena Stage productions, and the first of two openings this year for acclaimed playwright Sarah Ruhl.
