Now, for something completely different, DC's somewhat edgy theater scene.  My favorite source for learning about what is going on in the greater DC area and then obtaining discount tickets to plays, concerts, and plain fun is Goldstar.  I have tickets for the matinees of Becky Shaw at the Roundhouse, Sunday, June 23, at 3 pm, and for Caesar and Dada, at the Hartke Theatre, Catholic University, 2 pm, Sunday, July 7.  Allyson Currin, the creator of Caesar claims that the idea of her play came to her in a dream.  Any takers?

This is the last weekend for Stupid Bird at the Woolly Mammoth, which Barbara McConagha and I were raving about at lunch.  The fabulous cast constantly breaks the fourth wall while re-hashing Hamlet, the Seagull, and 6 Characters in Search of an Author.  I grew so attached to the characters, especially Kimberly Gilbert as Mash singing her horrible poetry to her own ukelele accompaniment, that I cried when the stage went black at the end.
