Curtain up…when?
The 71st season for Dominion Stage was announced in late January, 2020:
- Until the Flood (tentative November 2020), our Special Event production to be directed by Julie Janson
- [title of show] (tentative May 2021), musical to be directed by Kevin Sockwell
- The Bluest Eye (tentative July 2021), drama by Lydia R. Diamond from the novel by Toni Morrison, to be directed by Eleanore Tapscott
- Five Women Wearing the Same Dress (tentative November 2021), comedy to be directed by Danielle Guy
- Firebringer (tentative January 2022), musical to be directed by Michael Page
Since then, the world has taken an extended Intermission. The dates suggested above are our current best guess as to when we might be able to present these productions. The health and safety of our patrons, casts, and crews will determine that schedule, and we will follow direction from our Arlington County hosts.
We are also exploring theatrical creations that are more conducive to online performance and interaction. This includes the first Dominion Stage Playwriting Contest, and theatre-themed Trivia Nights, which began during the quarantine. For now, we send our best wishes to our patrons, supporters, and colleagues, and look forward to a time when we can again gather safely and together enjoy that most interactive of art forms, live theatre.
