Sunday, October 9 marked the finale of Theatre Week, in which more than 12,000 tickets were sold to over 30 productions over a three-week period, in addition to many free events. The 2022 Theatre Week Kickoff Fest and Concert on September 24, a celebration of the DC-area theatre community that blended conversations, workshops and a concert, marked the initial return of Theatre Week, hosting over 1,000 attendees.

“We’re excited to announce the Theatre Week Encore, which will allow audiences to further explore the DC-area theatre scene with specially priced tickets to dozens of plays, musicals, and more,” said Amy Austin, President & CEO of Theatre Washington. “The tremendous success of Theatre Week 2022 proves that audiences are hungry for excellent and entertaining work on stages across the region. Our theatres are ready to open their doors to more theatre goers in the 2022-2023 season. We hope folks can come out to see what the DC-area theatre industry has to offer in the final days of the Theatre Week Encore and beyond.”

About The Author
Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter
I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!
My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.
Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.
As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.
All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
