Auditions for "STOP KISS", our Spring Play, are this weekend! PLEASE SIGN UP BELOW. All information needed is on Signup as well.

"Sara and Callie are walking through New York City's West Village very late at night, when they share their first kisses. This leads to a vicious attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is horribly injured. She falls into a coma, which becomes one of the major subjects of the play. George, Callie's good friend, tries to help with the situation, but there is little he can do. Peter, Sara's ex-boyfriend from St. Louis, comes to help nurse her back to health. Throughout Stop Kiss, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play."

Some of our youngest actors in “A Little Night Music” got Amazing reviews from dctheatrearts! We are so blessed to have them in our cast! Three shows left! This Friday, Saturday and Sunday! This Past Sunday was sold out so get your tickets now!!

https://restonplayers.org/tickets-show1/

“Among the younger characters, Shakil Azizi as Henrik is convincing in his late teenage angst and emotionally volatility, combined with mastery of the wide-ranging vocal gymnastics of his first act song, “Later.” As his counterpart, Anne, Shelby Young has the pure, high soprano sound needed for her ingénue role, first on display in “Soon.” Young handles well Anne’s second act awakening to the fact that she has real feelings to act upon, beyond the frivolousness she has used to keep them at bay.”

The entire review can be seen here:

Boeing Boeing Auditions! October 22nd and 23rd at 1pm! For more info hit link below.

https://restonplayers.org/auditions/

A hit comedy similar in vein to Shakespeare’s comedies of merry misadventures and mistaken identities, Boeing Boeing tells the exploits of French bachelor Bernard and his lovely female flight attendants. Three flight attendants, to be exact, from three different countries: and they all believe they’re engaged to Bernard! In the past, Bernard has been able to juggle these women due to his detailed timetable of his fiancés’ flight schedules. When the situation changes and all of the women end up at his apartment on the same day, Bernard (with help from his bewildered friend Robert) struggles to keep them from learning the truth. Will the lying lothario be able to keep up this charade, or will a disaster occur? As they say: all’s well that ends well!

Noble Blades has a great training series coming up! Take a look!

4 weeks until we begin our Smallsword SPT on Sept 25th, and 7 spots left to register!! Please join us for this 10 week class taught by Robb Hunter, Sunday mornings from 9am-12pm!

Many consider the smallsword to be the final and most refined stage in the development of civilian swords, and not without reason! In training for the stage, this opinion also holds true and we will spend the better part of three months exploring this amazingly quick and deadly weapon. Expect to challenge your body and mind as with no other weapon (you may also look forward to the opportunity to face your classmates, and instructor, in an actual duel). At the end of our training, we will put our skills to the test for a Fight Master from the Society of American Fight Directors.

Follow the link below to register, and we hope to see you there! ⚔️
