here’s no mistaking it — the sun feels more golden; the air crisper. All signs point to fall, and the capital city is raring to go. At the top of my October must-do list is to catch a show. Thankfully, there’s plenty to choose from as area stages light up the city with stellar productions, including Elizabethan classics like William Shakespeare’s “1 Henry IV” at Folger Theatre (above) and contemporary critic’s picks like Jocelyn Bioh’s “School Girls; or The African Mean Girls Play” at Round House Theatre. You can read about all of our favorites this season on page 6.

If you’re anything like me and just can’t get enough of fall, then you’ll definitely want to check out the calendar on page 4. With so much going on this month, it was downright impossible to narrow down all these great choices to just two pages, but we did our best. From immersive art happenings to one of the East Coast’s best music festivals, you won’t be bored.

For the food-obsessed, October also kicks off a season of culinary indulgences. Oktoberfests around town have beer lovers raising steins to the ANNE KIM-DANNIBALE city’s growing craft brew movement. And to pair with all those great ales, Group Editor, WhereTraveler ® lagers and stouts? No peanuts here. Hybrid brewpubs are where tank-to@wheretraveler table meets farm-to-table. Find out where to sip and dig in on page 10.

restaurants and clubs, but no city has the national monuments and memorials that Washington, D.C., has. These iconic sites take on new character when they’re lit up at night, so I highly recommend a guided nighttime tour of the monuments.

Q: WHAT ARE A FEW OFF-THEBEATEN TRACK SITES YOU LIKE TO RECOMMEND? A: Washington is full

of hidden gems. My suggestions are to visit President Lincoln’s Cottage and Hillwood Estate, Museum and Garden.

Q: WHERE SHOULD PEOPLE GO TO CAPTURE THE QUINTESSENTIAL D.C. SELFIE? A: Good spots for selfies

would be the U.S. Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial.

Q: WHICH RESTAURANTS DO YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULD TRY FOR A SPECIAL MEAL? A: D.C. is now a destina-

I love Indian cuisine, and Bombay Club is my favorite place to get delicious Indian food.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME TOP PLACES TO EXPLORE WITH KIDS? A: I would suggest taking

children to the National Zoo, the Natural History Museum, the Air & Space Museum and the Newseum.

Q: HOW DO YOU LIKE TO EXPLORE D.C. ON YOUR DAY OFF? A: When I’m in town,

I like to spend my time exploring different museums and restaurants.

When the weather is nice, I’d hang out at the redeveloped Wharf in Southwest.

“1 HENRY IV” AT FOLGER THEATRE

I

f you’re a stage actor, what’s the second-best city in the United States to tread the boards? According to a 2018 survey by the prestigious Actors’ Equity Association, it’s Washington, D.C. (New York City is tops), with its 70-plus active companies and generally packed theatrical calendar. “There are organizations dedicated to Shakespeare and the classics, contemporary American playwrights … new play development, theater for young audiences, musicals,” says Roy Gross, an association liaison for the nation’s capital. “If you want to do a particular type of work, chances are there is somewhere to do it.”

This month, there’s a particularly rich showcase of all those talented thespians, with both resident and visiting

shows lighting up venues around town. Read on for just a few of our favorites.

THE MUSICALS

“Cats,” Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s furry, unexpectedly touching adaptation of a book of T.S. Eliot poems, struts back into the spotlight this winter with a movie version. At The Kennedy Center, a revival of the 1980 musical—known for songs like “Memory” and characters like the Rum Tum Tugger—plays through October 6.

The music of Billie Holiday powers the inventive, cabaret-style “Stormy Weather” from IN Series Theater at Atlas Performing Arts Center October 18-27. Inspired

THE DRAMAS

A pair of revivals salutes the late playwright August Wilson, known for delving into African-American life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At Arena Stage through October 20, Wilson’s “Jitney” follows a group of cab drivers in the 1970s as they deal with gentrification and economic woes. And at historic Ford’s Theatre, the

8

W HERETRAVELER ® WASHI NGTON D.C.

downtown playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, Wilson’s “Fences” continues through October 27. Set in the 1950s, the work chronicles the dashed dreams and family life of a onetime Negro League baseball star.

Arlington’s Synetic Theater wins raves for its dazzling, wordless spins on classic tales like “Hamlet” and “The Picture of Dorian Grey,” which harness dance, music and Cirque du Soleil-like stagecraft. In its version of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” through Oct. 20, a 1,200-squarefoot pool serves as the watery set for a visually stunning dreamscape. “I always encourage visitors to go to Synetic, because its shows are so theatrical. They’re almost like films,” says Trainor. “It’s exciting and athletic, and even kids are engaged.”

by Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” it uses the blues diva’s songs to tell the story of Sycorax, the mother of the Bard’s wild man Caliban. “The company has a new artistic director, Timothy Nelson, and he’s got dazzling ideas that he can carry off,” says Lorraine Trainor, the publisher and editor of DC Theatre Scene (www.dctheatrescene. com), a local theater website.

THE COMEDIES

At Bethesda, Maryland’s Round House Theatre through October 13, “School Girls; or The African Mean Girls Play” transplants the 2004 movie into a female boarding school in 1980s Ghana. The poignant-yet-funny result—a big hit off Broadway—follows five girls as they tussle with issues of beauty, race and the Miss Universe pageant.

Though Shakespeare’s “1 Henry IV” is technically called a history play, the plot about the titular young prince and his friendship with good-timing lout Falstaff comes off like a good-hearted dramedy. It’s staged at the Folger Theatre through October 13, where the Elizabethan-style digs alone (think a unicorn mural-decked ceiling and tiered wooden balconies) are worth the price of admission. In the adjacent Great Hall, the exhibit “A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library” explains the design and vision of the 1932 building that houses the theater.

Opening October 15 at the acclaimed Shakespeare Theatre Company downtown, “Everybody” modernizes the 15th-century morality play “Everyman.” Though the source material reads grimly (it’s about death, guys), rising playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins turns the piece into a musing on mortality with witty, laughprovoking results.
