Five Spoons:  Happy Theater leads this interactive community building theater piece for adults and children based on an ancient Hindu parable about the five powers of life. Through physical theater, clowning, dance, and object-based theater, five miniature stories are playfully told and woven together into a greater story about our personal connection to the world and to each other. Audience members will receive an invitation to either participate or be a viewer to the experience. Participants will be guided by different characters to separately interact with spaces based on four powers–speech, vision, hearing, and mind–and then experience a fifth power as a “whole” community at the end of the theater piece.  Saturday, January 25 at 7 p.m. at BlackRock Center for the Arts, 12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown. Click here for more information. $20

Spring Awakening:  This Tony-winning rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s 19th century drama with music by Duncan Sheik and lyrics by Steven Stater tells the story of teenagers discovering their sexuality.  Contains mature themes, sexually explicit content, and suicide. Various dates and times now through February 23 at Roundhouse Theatre, 4545 East-West Highway, Bethesda.
