The Plays Are the Thing at the National Black Theatre Festival

Under Jackie Alexander’s leadership, North Carolina Black Rep’s biennial gathering aims to connect playwrights and producers.

Virginia Rep’s new show for kids takes inspiration from the iconic ‘I think I can’ tale, whose roots are deeper than even its makers knew.

Among the offerings is a remount of the Helen Hayes-winning production of ‘Word Becomes Flesh’ by Marc Bamuthi Joseph.

After nine years with the Altanta company, she’s taken a culture post with the city of Hilton Head.

The season will feature a collaboration with En Garde Arts and a play by a local playwright.

The artistic director of the D.C. theatre will leave the institution he cofounded at the end of the 2017-18 season.

The company’s 20th season will include productions and programs celebrating female empowerment.

The minimalist production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic brought the story to life through mime and movement.

The lineup will include modern interpretations of ‘King Lear’ and ‘Peter Pan.’

The lineup will feature three Shakespeare plays and ‘Peter and the Starcatcher.’
