By Nelson Pressley
Theater can offer great reckonings in little rooms, but first, emerging companies have to find suitable rooms to stage their work. Three shows beyond downtown, in a sort of inside-the-Beltway outer circle, are giving D.C. audiences a look at such material as “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill,” sometimes well off the beaten path.

‘Caroline, or Change’ at The Elden Street Players by John Stoltenberg

Here in Herndon, Virginia, tucked into an intimate black box theater, is a show with such a superb cast and orchestra, performing with such emotional authenticity and theatrical authority, that it left me after in a kind of rapture: I wanted the honesty of its truth-telling never to end.
