  • Olney's new musical 'Senior Class' features a talented cast but needs work

    2 weeks ago | dctheaterarts.org | Nicole Hertvik

    Staging a new musical is no small feat for a regional theater, carrying significant financial and creative risk but also opening the thrilling possibility of putting one’s unique stamp on the American stage. It’s the high-stakes creative blank slate that makes artists giddy with the possibility of injecting something new and fresh into the world.

But even those with the most rudimentary knowledge of Shakespeare’s masterpiece will appreciate Playwright Lauren M. Gunderson’s latest girl-power drama, A Room in the Castle, a re-examination of Hamlet that puts the women front and center.
