Airswimming (Thursday 19, Performance)
FUSION Theatre Company (708 First St. NW) presents a timely play about unjust incarceration, Airswimming by Charlotte Jones. Directed by Robb Anthony Sisneros, FUSION’s production stars Wendy Barker and Nichole Hamilton. The dark comedy is inspired by the true story of two British women who were locked away in a hospital for the criminally insane in the 1920s as “moral imbeciles.” The two women keep hope alive by enacting wild fantasies, including conjuring their own personal muse, Doris Day. Performances will be from March 19 though 29, on Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Opening night on Thursday, March 19 features a pre-show reception with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets run $20 to $40 and can be purchased in advance at pci.jotform.com/form/260396889213165.
