Something strange is afoot in the award-winning mystery Ghost-Writer from playwright Michael Hollinger (Opus). Set in 1919, in the wake of acclaimed novelist Franklin Woolsey's death, Ghost-Writer finds Woolsey's devoted secretary claiming to still be receiving dictation toward the completion of his unfinished masterpiece. Attacked by skeptics, the press and Woolsey's jealous widow, Myra sets out to prove she is more than just an artful forger. This ghost story of literary proportions explores the lines between fact and fiction, life and the great beyond. Learn More

Written on Mar 26 2012From the opening overture to the grand finale, Josephine Tonight was alive with soul stirring and feet tapping energy. A couple of times I wanted to get up and do the Charleston. The cast is extremely talented and versatile. The entire performance had all the elements of a show destined for Broadway. The dancing was highly skilled and a visual delight and the singing was amazing only enhanced by the incredible lyrics and wonderful music. Maurice Hines has created an artistic masterpiece that I'm sure "La Baker" herself would be proud to star in if she were alive today. An enthusiastic Bravo to the cast and a great big Thanks to Metro Stage for bringing a show of this caliber to the D.C. area.
Written on Mar 24 2012Josephine Tonight was absolutely amazing! The young lady who portrayed Ms. Baker did very well in her role (yea, Howard University!), as did the other cast members in their multiple roles. I laughed, I cried, I loved it. I look forward to many more performances at Metrostage.
Written on Mar 20 2012This was fantastic and the small MetroStage was charming. I will definitely go back. I am also sure that Josephine Tonight will end up on Broadway!!
Written on Mar 20 2012This musical was fantastic! I would see it again and again. The singing and dancing talents of the cast are plain incomparable! The choreography was flawless. I loved every song (and there were many) and every dance!
