Very funny! Wonderful performance. No bad seat in the House. Parking is great $4 and elevator leads right into theater.
We liked it very much. The staging was very clever. The unfolding of the various relationships was fascinating. The female parts were the largest so the male parts didn't quite measure up. The actress who played the part of the Mother was wonderful. It was a delight to watch her. The representation of the daughter did not seem to ring as true as the part of the Mother. Goldstar was great and the theatre is lovely.
I would recommend it. We had front row seats. Thank you.
We were 2 Mothers with their daughters all of which thought the play was excellent and very thought provoking. It was a wonderful afternoon of theatre.

Area premiere
By Quiara Alegria Hudes
Directed by KJ Sanchez
Get on board for the funny, tender, heartwarming new play by Tony Award-nominee Quiara Alegría Hudes (In the Heights). The Atlanta Journal Constitution called Hudes “a writer of astonishing lyricism” while The Oregonian said her plays have “an exuberant, richly imaginative theatricality that’s entrancing.” The New York Times hailed her as “a confident and arresting voice.”
An ’83 Buick Regal may be an unlikely place to find out what family really means, but when Beatriz and her estranged daughter head west on a spontaneous cross country road trip, neither is prepared for what lies ahead. 26 Miles reminds us that the best souvenirs on the road of life are the relationships we make along the way – and that sometimes all it takes to find yourself is the power of family…and a herd of buffalo.
Blake's Take: Quiara has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and has won the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Lucille Lortel Award. The much-anticipated 26 Miles is sure to add to that list. We're honored to be one of the first theatres in the country to perform this rising star’s amazing new work following its recent world premiere.

Round House Theatre, now in its 29th season, is one of the leading professional theatre companies in the Washington, DC-metropolitan area. The Montgomery County-based company stages over 200 performances each season at its main stage theatre in Bethesda and its black box space in Silver Spring. Blake Robison joined the company in June 2005 as Producing Artistic Director, succeeding Jerry Whiddon, who held that position for more than 20 years. The company began as in the late 1970's as Street '70, a program of the Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Recreation. Round House remained part of that department until 1993 when it became a separate and independent professional theatre company and staged productions at a 200-seat theatre located on Bushey Drive in Silver Spring. The company moved into a new 400-seat theatre in Bethesda in 2002. The following year the company opened a 150-seat black box theatre in downtown Silver Spring. In 2004, Round House's new education center opened in Silver Spring.
