Been a long while since I've blogged, but getting back to it. Thought a good way to jump start this blog again, would be by sharing some holiday theatre picks I highly recommend checking out this year!!
1) Black Nativity, Theater Alliance:
This Christmas classic returns to Theater Alliance with a fresh voice. Langston Hughes chronicles and celebrates the birth of Jesus, while also celebrating the birth of Blackness. This classic story told through gospel, blues, funk, jazz, and dance asks you to look inward and find the wonder in life.The show runs at the Anacostia Playhouse from December 11, 2014 to January 4, 2015.
2) A Very Pointless Holiday Spectacular, Pointless Theatre:
It's Christmas eve at the North Pole, and Santa's elves are off the clock and ready to cut loose! Pointless Theatre presents a winter cabaret for adults, an irreverent celebration of the holidays featuring puppetry, improv, and a funky reindeer band.The show runs at Flashpoint's Mead Theatre Lab from December 2nd - January 3rd.
3) A Christmas Carol, Ford's Theatre:
Join the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as they lead the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption. Originally conceived by Michael Baron, this music-infused production captures the magic and joy of Dickens’s Yuletide classic. Acclaimed Washington stage actor Edward Gero returns to play Scrooge.The show runs from November 20, 2014-January 1, 2015. Check out the trailer below:
So, those are my three. What are yours, theatre or other?
Please share other holiday arts happenings you'd recommend in the comments!!
