After dazzling audiences in New York and Boston -- and winning the 2013 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical -- an exciting new staging of "Pippin" comes to Alexandria. This updated version of the Broadway classic infuses the production with a modern vision through the millennial lens, while still rocking the music and lyrics of Stephen Schwartz, the award-winning composer of "Wicked" and "Godspell". With classic songs like "Corner of the Sky," "No Time at All," "Magic to Do" and "Extraordinary," and recreated versions of Bob Fosse's original choreography, this sexy and sophisticated version of "Pippin" tells the story of the son of Charlemagne, leader of the Holy Roman Empire, who goes on a death-defying journey to find meaning in life. He encounters love, sex, war and politics, and must ultimately choose between a life that's ordinary or a flash of singular glory. Monumental Theatre Company, winner of the 2018 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Emerging Theatre Company, brings the musical to the Ainslie Arts Center. [less-]

It's New Year's Day 1960, on New York's Upper West Side. Marilyn Monroe is the biggest star on the planet. So why is she huddled in a drugged, inert heap, in the bedroom of her acting coach -- the iconic master of the Actor's Studio, Lee Strasberg? Conscience Drama Directive's production of "Nobody Dies on Friday" dissects that dilemma at Atlas' Lab I Theatre -- and what is revealed is no walk in Central Park. This D.C. premiere is Robert Brustein's grim, acerbic, and rueful memory of a peculiarly American mid-century time -- a toxic interplay of fame, artistry and ambition; of giddy aspiration and aesthetic confusion -- when stage and screen fought one another for primacy.

In 1937, a physics professor at Princeton University received a call. The internationally-renowned classical singer Marian Anderson was giving a concert at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton.
