Rooms: The End of My Rocking Week

I had one of those super cool weeks. I got to cover Bryan Adams on Monday and Ryan Adams on Tuesday. On Friday night I went back to covering theatre. Well, I covered Rooms: A Rock Romance being performed by the Elden Street Players in Herndon. I like it when theatre combines with music to end a week like that. Plus the musical made a perfect date night for my wife and I. You can read my review here.

Here is the trailer for it:

It's good music, good theatre and a good time. If you are in Northern Virginia check it out.

Short blog today since it is late and I need some rest before the day job.

A Bit of Shakespeare

The Washington, D.C. has a lot of Shakespeare Theatre action going on at the moment. If you live in the area or are planning a road trip and you are a fan of the Bard I have a few suggestions. Yes there will be a little shameless self promotion but hey that's what I do. However, in the spirit of pay it forward I will share some other folks work as well.

This has to be one of the best reviews I have read. Jordan Wright reviewed "Othello" at the Synetic Theatre which is having their Shakespeare Fest. Imagine outstanding performances without words. It runs through November 6, 2011 in Crystal City.

If you like your "Othello" with words it is playing at the Folger Theatre through December 4, 2011. You can read what Jessica Pearson had to say about the show here.

If you are still thinking about summer, A Midsummer Night's Dream might be for you. If you like the play the Elden Street Players have one heck of a performance running through |November 12, 2011. It has an outstanding cast and I was very impressed by Ian Pederson, a teen actor who is wow as Puck. You can read my review here.

I needed to mix up my blog a bit it isn't all about football or sports. A lot of it is theatre and music and a few surprises now and then.
