Signature Theatre · Arlington (Shirlington)
Safety Not Guaranteed
Mar 3 – Apr 12
If you love character-driven comedies with genuine emotional stakes and don't mind theatrical logic that favors the heart over plausibility, this lands squarely in your wheelhouse. This isn't for audiences needing everything explained or characters they can easily pin down—it requires a willingness to meet the material's gentle weirdness halfway.
Sondheim Award Gala
If you're someone who loves musical theater but find yourself frustrated by conventional pop-song structures, this is where you belong. This gala rewards listeners who appreciate Sondheim's fractured narratives, unexpected rhyme schemes, and emotional complexity. Skip it if you're seeking a polished concert experience; come for the raw artistry of performers grappling with one of theater's most demanding catalogs.
