Show Notes
Washington D.C.s spring arts scene is kicking off with powerful new works that blend music, theater, and social themes. The IN Series presents For Women Serving Time, a production that highlights incarcerated women, while Washington National Opera stages The Crucible, echoing witch hunt paranoia. Comedian Mo Amer brings his El Oso Palestino Tour to D.C. Improv, sharing Palestinian refugee stories through humor. These shows draw big reactions for tackling tough issues, from Americas rising female prison rates to Red Scare parallels. Later highlights include Dance Places New Releases, Blue Note Burlesque, and Pattie Gonias eco-drag show. June brings Moveius Ballets tenth anniversary premieres, Solas Nuas thriller Scorched Earth, and Washington Ballets fresh Cinderella at the National Theatre.
