BWW Features: Editor Picks - Best of DC in 2013January 2, 2014Whether massive festivals, unique productions, or simply an amazing take on a classic we all know well, the DC arts community rose to the challenge this year and offered something pretty great for everyone.
BWW Reviews: THE IMMORTAL JELLYFISH and SHRIMP AND GRIOTS Premiere at FallFRINGENovember 11, 2013Although Capital Fringe's FallFRINGE welcomes back several shows that proved popular with summer audiences, it also gives Fringegoers a chance to see some new selections. Two of these new selections, Keegan Cassady's The Immortal Jellyfish with direction by Kristen Pilgrim, and Sheldon Scott's solo piece Shrimp and Griots with direction by Nancy Camp, tackle issues that are likely to resonate well with the socially-conscious theatergoing community in our fair city. Although both budding writers should be commended for taking a chance and putting their work out there, one show unfortunately shows much more promise than the other.
