The election is practically around the corner, and with that comes… a timely opportunity for many local companies to delve into the world of political theater, it seems. What are we talking about? Well, RepStage is producing the politically-charged Intelligence (Oct. 8), Arena has the one-man show Citizen Josh (Oct. 9), Forum’s Drunk Enough To Say I Love You? deals with U.S. foreign policy (Oct. 11), Journeymen’s As America As has a homeland security theme (Oct. 22) and Theater J’s Honey Brown Eyes takes us back to Bosnia (Oct. 22). Whew!

What else is up? Solas Nua opens up its season with Take Me Away (Oct. 2), an IT-focused comedy. And the folks over at Landless Theater Company are convinced that President Hardy Is A Rock Star.
