The DC theater community is starting the year off right with…no more productions of A Christmas Carol. Seriously, there’s plenty to like in January, from gutsy works to brand-new musicals.

The Neo-Futurists (pictured) are back! Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, which our critic Chris Klimek loved, makes a return engagement at Woolly Mammoth (Jan. 4).

Stick ’em up! The American Century Theater gets nostalgic for police dramas with their production of Cops (Jan. 4).

Classicists will be intrigued with the latest myth-inspired work from Shakespeare Theater, the golden fleece-driven Argonautika (Jan. 15).

Yes, they’re going there. Signature Theater has a provocative new one-man show called The Tricky Part, which centers around a sexual relationship between a young boy and older man. (Jan. 29).
