Anything Goes (2022 Revision)
The 2022 revision of Anything Goes delivers Cole Porter’s classic shipboard comedy with invigorated dance sequences and a refreshed script. Aboard the S.S. American, stowaway Billy Crocker schemes to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her proper fiancé, aided by nightclub star Reno Sweeney and the endearingly hapless gangster “Moonface” Martin. The score features beloved standards such as You’re the Top and the title number. This edition is adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater. It features music and lyrics by Cole Porter, an original book by P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton with Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman. The production is presented under arrangement with Concord Theatricals, representing Tams-Witmark LLC. The dinner theatre experience has been updated to feature a curated reception before the show in place of the previous buffet. Guests can look forward to a well considered assortment of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, with dessert and coffee or tea served at intermission. This approach offers a more current and flexible format while directing more support to student programs and productions.
ADRIFT | A Medieval Wayward Folly, July 16 - Aug 2
Happenstance Theater brings a medieval wayward folly to Round House Theatre, a comic and poetic voyage with a band of castaways searching for what comes next after an apocalypse. Drawing on the fantastical worlds of Hieronymus Bosch and the symbolism of the tarot, the production blends live music, physical comedy, puppetry, and precise stagecraft to create a vivid theatrical tapestry. Medieval imagery threads through the performance, including a hellmouth, demons, and angels, as these eccentrics share hopes and fears and chart a path forward. Performed by Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Gwen Grastorf, Sarah Olmsted Thomas, and Alex Vernon. The work has earned praise from DC Theater Arts, Talkin’ Broadway, and The Observer, and the company’s artistry has been recognized by Washington City Paper and The Washington Post. The performance runs approximately 80 minutes. Adult tickets are $40, and tickets for ages 18 and under are $20.
