The World to Come
Feb 3, 2026 – Mar 1, 2026
This is for audiences who prize character work and understated emotional truth over plot mechanics. If you're drawn to plays about overlooked populations and find beauty in small moments, you'll connect here. Skip this if you need broad comedy or dramatic fireworks—the rewards are in observation and nuance.
Sasha Velour's TRAVESTY
Mar 24, 2026 – Apr 12, 2026
This is essential viewing if you're interested in how drag functions as political and artistic practice beyond nightclub settings. It rewards viewers who appreciate ambitious formal experimentation and aren't looking for conventional plot resolution. If you need your theater to be intimate and psychologically realistic, this probably isn't your show—but if you crave visual boldness and ideas that linger after the curtain falls, Velour's work at Woolly Mammoth will justify the trip to Penn Quarter.Getting There
