"What say we just declare Howard Barker and the Potomac Theatre Project a match made in heaven?" Washington City Paper
Somewhere In The Pacific by Neal Bell
Directed by Jim Petosa
“Neal Bell’s ambitious chronicle of a ship on its way to Okinawa rubs the nerves raw…”Washington Theatre Review
Crave by Sarah Kane
Directed by Cheryl Faraone
Four voices combine in a fugue of love and obsession..."like a frantic conversation among
our collective demons." Washington City Paper

by Willie Orbison
After an unfulfilling year of professional candy-making and a turbulent
creative impasse, the two remaining members of New York’s most

Prototype 373-G
by Benjamin Fainstein. Directed by Dan Pruksarnukul
In Polynesian mythology, when people were first created, they were born hatching out of turtle’s eggs...maybe they were right. Prototype 373-G

own heart. |

How to Stage a Proper Revolution; A Play in Two Acts
a staged reading of a new play by Alec Strum
Since rejecting the regimented future as a stockbroker manufactured for him by his parents, Lucas Fern has dedicated himself to fighting oppression and freeing minds, especially the one belonging to his only son Adam. But when opponents new and old enter the struggle over the course of Adam’s future, and Adam’s own secret desires come to light, Lucas is forced to confront
the possibility that his revolution may in fact be more of an institution than any on Wall Street.
