Dysfunctional relationship musicals…the Odyssey revisited…a one-nun show…one can’t say the D.C. theater scene is relying only on Halloween for their October programming inspiration (though we do, at least, have some Poe still playing). Here’s an overview of what’s opening this month.
Not only a new show, but a new theater! Bethesda Theatre hopes that I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, a relationship musical which has been compared to Seinfeld in its sensibilities, will become a permanent fixture in Montgomery County (Oct 4).
It’s that other Jonathan Larson musical…Metro Stage is trying its hands at Tick Tick Boom (Oct. 11).
In keeping with its pledge to become a more expansive, inclusive arts group, Ganymede Arts (formerly Actors Theater of Washington) will host its first GLTB Arts Festival featuring plays, readings and more (Oct. 19-28).
Can you spell A-N-T-I-D-I-S-E-S-T-A-B-L-I-S-H-M-E-N-T-A-R-I-A-N-I-S-M? No? Well, if you just like a good laugh, you’ll be equally at home at The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at the National Theatre (Oct. 23).
