Punching Above Your Weight Class

2AM: Here in DC, it’s season roll-out time. The major theatres are sending out press releases listing the plays they’ll be tackling in their 2012-13 season, making each seem like a precious gem that audiences would be fools to miss.
Recently, after two major theatres went public with their season and I was hard-pressed to find anything exciting about either, I started thinking about how safe so many of these shows seemed. And I don’t just mean safe in the sense that they’re audience-friendly.
