If Tysons Corner is going to have its own Metro, it certainly deserves to have a theatre group as well. Back in September 2008, 1st Stage Theatre, Tysons Corner's own theater group, opened its doors for business.
According to their website, "1st Stage was founded so that...young emerging talents could do what they were trained to do. Young professionals need to get experience, build a resume, and test their resolve to pursue this life. We want to be that 'first stage' in their careers: a place to struggle with the art, learn from their discoveries and their mistakes, and find pride in what they produce."
1st Stage Theatre is currently running, "By the Bog of Cats," through February 28th. The play is a loose "retelling of Euripides' Medea, Marina Carr blends the mythic with the modern, populating her play with misfits, witches, and ghosts. Set in rural Ireland, this heart-rending tragedy and uproarious comedy live in tandem on the same breath."
The theater is located in Tysons Corner at 1524 Spring Hill Road, Suite LL, McLean For more information, visit 1st Stage Theatre's website.
