August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Ratchets Up the Anxiety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bethesda’s Round House Theatre mostly puts on straight plays, while Olney Theatre Center mostly puts on musicals; for the fifth collaboration between Round House—opening its 50th season—and Olney, they’ve chosen a work that toes the line between the two camps.
