It’s a revolutionary time for the D.C. theater scene. Because audiences here will FINALLY get the chance to be exposed to a little-known work featuring the musical antics of a group of crazy cats. Get ready.

Sarcasm aside, we’re sure that SOMEBODY will fill the seats of the once-longest running Andrew Lloyd Webber show, Cats, which plays a brief stint at the Warner beginning March 6. We just wish it would leave. Now and forever. When will the cats stop screaming?

Luckily, there are plenty of fun local alternatives this month. For instance, if Hamlet’s multi-layered text doesn’t offer enough complexity for you, try seeing it in Hebrew with English subtitles. Signature stages the master work in conjunction with Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv (March 6).

Theatre Alliance’s Insurection: A Holding History follows the travels of a very old man, through time and as far back as Nat Turner’s revolution (March 1).

The Owl and The Pussycat + Actors’ Theatre of Washington = we’re really not sure, to be honest. But we’re interested to find out the LGBT theater company’s take on the tale (March 2).

Witness a brutal incarceration and a murder mystery at once with Studio’s The Pillowman (March 14).

It’s survival of the fittest over at Journeymen Theatre, as they stage After Darwin (March 7).
