Hollywood Goes By the Book
Coming months see a library of literary adaptions, from "Everything Is Illuminated" to "Harry Potter."
Sold Out? Not A Problem
For those who didn't get tickets for the Stones, Sir Paul or U2, we have a list of other can't-miss shows, including Daddy Yankee and Youssou N'Dour.
An Overly Ambitious Calendar
The National Symphony Orchestra tackles Sibelius and Grieg; The Washington National Opera banks on "Porgy And Bess"; and Placido Domingo sings a "Trilogy."
Stretching the Boundaries
Many of this season's most intriguing performances rely on videotapes, computers and poetry as well as the human body.
A Rich Palette of Possibility
This fall and winter, there's such a variety of promising shows that almost any and every artistic need should be met.
A Lustrous Trend
American silver and Japanese screens are among the decorative objects making their way to Washington museums.
Blockbusters and Sleepers
Crowd-pleasing "Damn Yankees" and "Wicked" need little introduction, so play-goers should look to smaller ventures for an offbeat, stimulating evening.
