God just won’t let up. Sadie has heard the voice of God her entire life. But she has never answered back, after all, why her?

Dot
By Colman Domingo
Directed by Vincent M. Lancisi
December 7, 2016 to January 8, 2017
“A thoroughly entertaining comedy-drama!” – NY Times
“Full of laughter and heartbreak.” –TheatreMania
For the holiday season, hot off its hit New York run, comes an uproariously funny new play from playwright/actor Colman Domingo (Wild With Happy / star of Fear the Walking Dead) that takes a touching look at shifting family dynamics and the fragility of the mind affecting an African-American family from West Philly. Dotty and her three adult children are home for the holidays, but this year there is more than presents and yuletide on their mind. While Dotty fights to maintain a grasp on her fading memory, brother and sister collide in a riotous and raw familial brawl where losing your mind and losing your sanity are two different things.

TOPDOG/UNDERDOG
By Suzan-Lori Parks
Directed by Timothy Douglas
in the Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab
May 17 – June 11, 2017
Suzan-Lori Parks won the Pulitzer Prize in 2002 forTopdog/Underdog, a thrilling and intimate drama about two African-American brothers – Lincoln and Booth – who, in their struggle to gain a foothold in 21st century America end up turning on each other as they fight for scraps from the table of joy. For this 15th anniversary production, Suzan-Lori has given us permission to cast the show, for the first time, with two actresses of extraordinary talent: Obie™ Award-winner Jessica Frances Dukes and Helen Hayes Award-winner Dawn Ursula. This is certain to be one of the most astonishingly-felt theatrical events of the DC theater season.
