Well, they don’t call it Shakespeare in Washington for nothing. This month brings quite the selection of Bard-tastic choices. We’ve got Titus Andronicus at Shakespeare Theater (April 3), The As-You-Like-It-inspired She Stoops to Comedy at Woolly Mammoth (April 1), and The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Coriolanus at the Kennedy Center (April 13). Plus, Edward III just opened this week at Washington Shakespeare Company, and even Lord John Marbury’s in DC this weekend, doing the Will thing.
For the less Bard-inclined? We love Broadway’s Carolee Carmello from her work in everything from Parade to Urinetown. She graces the Signature stage with her presence in Saving Aimee, about the founder of the Four Square Gospel Church (April 10).
The sexy title should be enough to draw audiences to Rorschach’s References to Salvadore Dali Make Me Hot (April 11).
MetroStage’s The Musical of Musicals: The Musical is – you guessed it – a parody of you-know-what. We’re not exactly sure how this is different from Forbidden Broadway, but then again, we haven’t seen it, have we? (April 12).
And we can’t wait to see Synetic’s slant on the political Animal Farm (April 26).
