It’s June and while many houses are wrapping up their seasons rather than embarking on new productions, others are up to the task of bringing something for us to watch this month, though the summer theater season looks a bit heavier than the X-Men-like offerings the summer movie season brings each year.

Dysfunctional student/teacher relationships are at the center of Woolly Mammoth Theater’s satirical The Faculty Room (June 5).

Four men renounce women in favor of academics…I think we know where this is going. Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Love’s Labor’s Lost doesn’t feature Kenneth Branaugh crooning old jazz tunes, but it’s bound to have its own pleasures (June 6).

Studio’s Charlie Victor Romeo, which is derived entirely from black box transcripts of six real-life arline emergencies, is bound to be a harrowing experience (June 7).

Hedda Gabler is one of the most notorious characters in Western literature (DCist is annoyed we couldn’t make it to NYC to see Cate Blanchett’s take on the character). See what Olney brings to the table here with their production (June 12).

Theater J’s got another world premiere on its hands with Picasso’s Closet, a new offering from Ariel Dorfman of Death and the Maiden fame (whose work brings back college-ethics-class flashbacks). (June 21).

And for those who wish their memories of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy weren’t relegated to childhood, and were instead set to song, Kennedy Center brings you Little Women – The Musical.
