Cast size is not an unreasonable criteria for determining what plays you may want to be in. A basic knowledge of what sort of atmosphere and dynamic any given cast size provides can help you make this decision.
Medea, with her overwhelming passions and command of magic, is a force of nature — a force beyond nature, perhaps — but this is a story without a hero.
Director Hugo Medrano’s production is mostly conservative/traditional. His take on 17th Century Spanish aristocrats is Renaissance flashy.
Suite Surrender was a hilarious show, with a lot of believability to the normally unbelievable situations that occur in a farce. Come to 1st Stage to be absolutely entertained and amused.
Director Shawn Byers keeps the pace of the multiplying complications spinning along smartly. The eight-person cast displays excellent comic timing, making the best of Cooney’s frequent laugh lines.
Jaylee Mead passed away this week. While I never met her, all DC area theater-lovers have been impacted by her generosity and love of theater.
And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson was a somber show with occasional laughter, and perhaps some tears will be jerked when emotions run high, but overall was well performed.

This production is a good reminder that, notwithstanding the local vogue for “silent” Shakespeare, the power and glory of Shakespeare resides principally in his words and actors’ interpretations of them.
Taking Steps is a delightful evening of light theatre guaranteed to satisfy.
