"As we round the corner into Year 3 of living dangerously, shake the recurring nightmares by sampling a slumber party outside of your own pandemic pod. In these seven “fun houses,” at the intersection of art and serendipity, the halls have mirrors — but you’ll leave thinking life doesn’t look half bad."

"Reston Community Players has produced a fun and lively show with some real comedic moments that the cast serves up well. It’s a nice antidote to cold days and depressing news."
