THEATRE REVIEW: "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" - THE KENNEDY CENTER
Aaron Sorkin's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is not Harper Lee's, but it is a lesson learned.

Last night two friends and I went to see THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at the #KennedyCenter performed by an American touring company. A mystery story is presented by an amateur drama company, and actors make mistakes, props go wrong, and it all escalates. The play is a lot of fun, requiring the actors to do both fast repartee and precisely timed physical comedy.

Here's a 10 minute excerpt from early in the play, as performed by its original UK cast. This was for a variety performance, so there are some surprising changes made to fit the setting. If you like it, you can go look for the follow-up adaptations of A Christmas Carol, Shakespeare, and the TV series THE GOES WRONG SHOW.

"'It’s a way to challenge preconceived notions of what it means to be an American, whose backs did we build it on, what have we accomplished and succeeded in writing this declaration and the promises within it, and what do we still have to work on?'"

Theatre Review: "1776: The Musical" at Washington DC's Kennedy Center
'1776' is a rousing, risky rendition of the classic musical.

The #KennedyCenter offers a video subscription of various performances, but it is not clear if that includes every performance. It seems it does not. I emailed them and asked if the three above mentioned performances will be available with their video subscription service but they never got back to me. However, I may have emailed the wrong department. I will have to try again.

The Kennedy Center's 2023-2024 year has lot to offer this term with performances from #HilaryHahn, #CamilleThomas, and #YujaWang. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to a) take off of work and b) afford travel and hotel expenses to see them all. I likely will never get to see them perform. It is times like this that remind me how much I wish my life led down a different path that allowed my to stay in Maryland. #KennedyCenter #classicalmusic

Theatre Review: "Les Misérables" at the Kennedy Center Opera House
'Les Miz' is still the world's most popular musical for a reason

It was a great show. It’s a pity that only cable (or cable-equivalent) subscribers could see it.

I think it’s a real shame that the v #KennedyCenter has the Mark Twain Prize ceremony behind a paywall on CNN after having it free and over the air on PBS for 20 years. Chasing the dollar?
