A Word from Robert Michael Oliver…
Greetings everyone! I’m excited to become the Maryland Theatre Guide’s Editor of the DC Metro area and looking forward to tackling this new challenge—it’s a big one. The metro region has a wide range of theatrical activity whose world demands a deep appreciation of each theatre’s mission and vision. I and the other writers look forward to the opportunity to turn each of our reviews into a unique window onto that world. The DC region is alive with events and personalities, and I also look forward to keeping you abreast of the latest theatre news.
