One thing can be said for certain about this summer’s Fairhaven Rep shows: it’s a hard-hitting batch. The Fairhaven Summer
The Fairhaven Summer Repertory Theatre kicked off its latest season on June 27th at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center with a provoking performance of Keely & Du, a drama with terrifying relevancy. Written in 1994 by Jane Martin and directed by Kayla Adams, the show is, at its core, an abortion play. With the recent over-turning of Roe v.

At 18th and Union Theatre in Capitol Hill, this weekend just on the cusp of summer, Pacific Play Company has debuted their selection of short original plays compiled within an anthology-style production entitled Summer Magic: Tales of Revenge directed by Buddy Todd.
