FIREBRINGER
‍August 5 - 20, 2022. Comedy Musical with music and lyrics by Meredith Stepien and Mark Swiderski and book by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden. Director Michael Page, Musical Director Chad Rabago, and Choreographer Colleen Prior. The musical follows a tribe of cave people who have learned to express themselves, rather than bashing each other’s heads with rocks and eating each other’s babies. Now they face the most important discovery in history, one that will pit them against wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers and will change the world forever.

‍AUGUST WILSON’S KING HEDLEY IIÂ
‍Fall 2022. Acclaimed drama by August Wilson. Directed by Rikki Howie. The ninth of Wilson’s acclaimed ten-play American Century Cycle. Set in the Pittsburgh Hill District of 1985, this Tony nominated play tells the story of King Hedley, an ex-con attempting to rebuild his life by starting a family and selling stolen refrigerators so he might eventually buy a video store. The play comments critically on the supply-side economic theories of the day, examining whether their stated aim of providing trickle-down benefits to all Americans truly improved the lot of urban African Americans.Â
‍
BOSTON MARRIAGE
Winter 2023. Drawing Room Comedy by David Mamet. Directed by Matthew Randall. A wickedly sharp drawing room comedy about two fashionable, upper-class women involved in a “Boston marriage,” a Victorian euphemism for a long-term, intimate relationship between two unmarried, financially independent women. The New York Post called the play “…one of the funniest American comedies in years… a wildly witty, biting satire about barely repressed desire, hostility between social classes, and decorous vulgarity.” Â
‍
‍HEADWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
‍‍Spring 2023. Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock 'n’ roll gender-queer goddess and her messy journey to love and stardom. Originally produced in 1998 off Broadway, the 2014 revival starring Neil Patrick Harris won four Tony’s for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Best Featured Actress, and Best Actor.

Since a group of neighbors formed a play-reading group in 1949, Dominion Stage has been a part of the Arlington community. Â We are Arlington's oldest community theatre. Â We seek stories that reflect everyone in our community, especially those not usually highlighted. Â To us, "Anything But Predictable" means you'll see stories about the good, the bad, the ugly, and even the undead. Â We've explored incest, suicide, drug abuse, mental illness, sexuality, prejudice, puppet sex, crime, and life in a trailer park, on a desert isle, in a locker room, and at a boarding school. Â Sometimes we're not the best choice for grandma or the kids, and we'll let you know. Â We ARE the best choice for theatre that makes you think, helps you understand, makes you laugh (frequently), makes you cry (sometimes), and celebrates the community we are all a part of. Â
Dominion Stage's current black-box home (the original library of Gunston Middle School) gives us space to present musicals with large casts and sets, as well as the intimacy necessary for more dramatic pieces and comedies. Â Seating configuration changes with each production, and audience members are rarely more than a few steps from the actors. There is plentiful free parking. Â Patrons enter via the main glass doors, pass Theatre One on the left, and follow the signs down the hall to Theatre Two, or may drive around the building to park closer to Theatre Two's entrance (look for the neon art). Â The closest Metro (though not walkable) is Pentagon City.
