Early on, King Kountry Wayne had visions of being a huge success in the music industry. Following that dream, he placed his life savings behind a music venture but that didn’t yield him the success he’d hoped for. During a time of soul-searching, he realized he was blessed with the gift to make people laugh, and it blossomed from there. You have probably heard the stories of “starting from the bottom -- now we here” before, but Wayne’s story is a little different! Yes, there have been a few mistakes along the way, yet those same mistakes that could have defeated him have instead created a man who is resilient and even more focused on making sure the people he is graced enough to impact find laughter through the pain. Experience King Kountry Wayne for yourself when he hits the stage of Arlington Draft House. [less-]

The theater world has waited 30 years for comic genius Ken Ludwig to deliver this companion piece to his Tony-winning comedy "Lend Me a Tenor", the most popular American farce of the 20th century.

An uproarious ride full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks and madcap delight, "A Comedy of Tenors" comes to the Olney Theatre Center stage in this uproarious production. [less-]

Don’t miss a riveting trio of short plays by Ireland’s theatrical giant and Nobel Prize winner, Samuel Beckett. "Beckett Trio, Part 2" features several spellbinding classics by the architect of the absurd. His brazen form of black comedy soars as we explore his themes of resistance with D.C.’s top actors. In "Ohio Impromptu", we savor the poetic retelling of a lost love and a dream of death by the elusive Mr. Warrilow. In "Come and Go", deemed one of Beckett’s most perfect plays, three childhood friends reveal long-buried secrets. The program culminates with "Catastrophe", in which a director and his assistant battle for who will direct a lone actor. [less-]

Dorian Belle is a big deal. He’s a Canadian pop sweetheart, and he’s ready to be taken seriously. So his people hire his favorite hip-hop artists — Black and Alexand, the "bad boy" rappers of Petty Young Goons — to help him toughen up his image. They’re black, he’s white. They’re from Chicago, he’s from Canada. It’s all going to be broadcast live on reality TV. What could possibly go wrong? Inspired by Shaw’s "Pygmalion", this world premiere play is a blistering and entertaining look at cultural and racial appropriation in a fictionalized exchange of ideologies, vernacular and alleged street cred. "P.Y.G. or the Mis-Edumacation of Dorian Belle", by Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm, comes to Washington, D.C.'s Studio Theatre. [less-]

Enjoy three short and potent plays by the master of modernism, London’s Harold Pinter. Scena proudly presents "One for the Road," an enthralling piece where an interrogator in a fascist state torments a prisoner, his wife and child. In "Mountain Language," we see words used as weapons to kill subjects by an occupying force -- yet the oppressed are forbidden to speak the Language. And in "The New World Order," two state officials routinely torture a bound and gagged prisoner to cleanse the world for democracy. Political, at times, Pinter and director McNamara will provoke your brain and stoke your emotions as we portray terror and its consequences. Don’t miss this riveting show! [less-]
