Special Added Performance

A delicious holiday treat, A Broadway Christmas Carol tells the classic Dickens' tale with uproarious parodies of your favorite Broadway show tunes.

A legendary Washington tradition returns (seven straight sold-out seasons at Round House Theatre, last seen in 2004) with an all star new cast, featuring "the one and only" Donna Migliaccio, with Matt Anderson, one of her co-conspirators in The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) and introducing Peter Boyer as Scrooge.

Laugh out loud, roll in the aisles funny. Call now for tickets and start a new holiday tradition at MetroStage.

A Standing Ovation! Performances to Cherish

(l-r) Charlotte Akin, Noah Chiet, Lauren 'Coco' Cohn, Ben Cunis and Chris French

"In the last three months, there were many performances that moved me, made me laugh, and made me stand up and cheer at the final curtain. One of my favorites is Lauren ‘Coco’ Cohn as Ursula Gillow, Coral Hicks, and Maid in Glimpses of the Moon at MetroStage.‘Coco’ Cohn arrived at MetroStage with a week to go before the critics arrived to review Glimpses of the Moon. In a short time, Coco had to learn the numerous lines for three kooky characters she was going to play in the show. Talk about laughing myself silly! If you’re a member of my generation – think Ruth Buzzi from “Laugh In”. I heard several members of the audience whisper, “Who is she? She’s so funny!” Local audiences and critics may not have known who she was before the lights went down that night, but after the lights came up after the final curtain bow – audiences and critics were yearning for more Coco. Bravo!"
- Joel Markowitz, DC Theatre Scene

And All That Jazz

Recording artist Lori Williams launched her debut CD, "Healing Within," with a standing-room only concert at MetroStage Oct. 11. Guest artists included Sylver Logan Sharp, Allyn Johnson and Divine Order and dancer Rita Burns. Williams performed songs from her CD that ranged from R&B to jazz and included a cover of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" to a soaring version of "Amazing Grace." "It's such an honor to host an event like this," said MetroStage Artistic Director Carolyn Griffin. "What a gift Lori has given everyone with this CD."
Lori William, seated, is joined by Tabitha Pearson, Robert Person, Sylver Logan Sharp and William Knowles at the launch of Williams' new CD Monday night at MetroStage.

Lori Williams signs copies of her new CD at the MetroStage launch party October 11.
