This Week: Seven Exclusive Performances of DC’s Buzziest Play

Like just about everyone else, we’re still feeling the sting of not getting any tickets to The Atlantis. But we’re here with excellent news! 

D.C.’s other hottest ticket is 20% off right now (with code POPVILLE20), in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday. For seven exclusive performances this week only — happening April 25-30 — the Folger Theatre will bring the world-premiere of “Our Verse in Time to Come” to Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. 

Inspired by the works and words of the Bard himself, this play is unlike anything that’s graced the stage of The Globe — or any other stage. It’s a powerhouse exploration of today’s most urgent social justice concerns.  

An aging emcee, returning from prison, suddenly faces a diagnosis of dementia. Realizing it’s his last chance to reconnect with his children, he arranges his estate to ensure his grown twins accept it before his memory slips away for good.

This isn’t just a play, either. It’s a high stakes, high energy arts immersion that blends soul-stirring storytelling, gripping drama, and live music from local legend DJ Nick tha 1da in wildly inventive and urgent ways. 

And when we say the show is immersive, here’s what we mean: the production is intimately designed so that every seat is on the stage itself. This is not the show where you slump in your seat and doze off.

But it is the one you’ll brag about having been a part of.

Tickets are limited and are selling fast. And they’re just $20 today with code POPVILLE20
