March’s theater calendar in the D.C. area is absolutely packed, with more than two dozen shows debuting.
A musical about an amusement park ride gone wrong, a tour of “Cats,” and a tale about George Washington and his enslaved companion open in January.
A comedy about two Idina Menzel superfans, Synectic’s “Snow Maiden,” and a Broadway smash and a Pulitzer winner — both at the Kennedy Center — are among the shows opening in December.
It’s spooky season, so prepare for some fun frights at D.C. theaters this month. Not up for a scare? There are also plenty of premieres and season openers to check out.
Woolly Mammoth stages an outrageous what-if in “Ain’t No Mo,” Olney Theatre’s living in “Dance Nation,” and so many more theater groups launch shows in September. Here’s our monthly theater preview.
The month is unsurprisingly a little light on D.C. theater outside of big-name draws like “Hamilton,” but some local companies are still debuting shows and putting on special events.
