Cheaters…women’s sex lives…Salman Rushdie…during March in the D.C. theater world, looks like anything goes; even Anything Goes.
Starting off the month is George Bernard Shaw’s Fanny’s First Play, produced by Washington Stage Guild (March 2). This “comedy within a comedy” should prove witty enough, as Shaw always has a way with words. Speaking of renowned male authors, Haroun And The Sea Of Stories, a Salman Rushdie D.C. premiere, begins at the H Street playhouse this weekend, staged by Theater Alliance (March 2).
Arena Stage has a busy month, with two productions opening this month, first the family drama The Rainmaker (March 3), and later, Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar And Grille, a musical look at Billie Holiday’s troubled life (March 31).
Cheaters never win, but with Brian McKnight, James Avery and others headlining this Warner Theatre production, the audience just might (March 7).
Signature Theatre calls its The Sex Habits of American Women “The Kinsey Report meets Desperate Housewives,” which sounds good to us (March 28).
