My brother, Andy Irons, and his wife Jessica started an Off-Broadway theater company 9 years ago. And for the first time ever they are performing in Washington DC. Thats right, Andhow! Theater Company is coming to the Church Street Theater in Washington, DC on Saturday, June 28 at 7:30pm.

Come to a reading of Andrew Irons’ newest play “Linus and Alora” which will debut at the Flea Theater in Tribeca in New York City on September 6th. The entire NYC cast of professional actors will perform.

ANDHOW! is an award-winning Off-Broadway Theater Companybased in New York City. ANDHOW! productions have been lauded by the press.

  • The New York Times says: “Attention must be paid.”
  • The Village Voice called ANDHOW! work “ambitious and provocative”.
  • New York Magazine said: “Brilliant and Highbrow”.
  • Time Out New York called ANDHOW! “the perfect team…daring innovative…”

The reading will be followed by a discussion, a time to voice your reactions and to ask questions. In this process we’ll all learn more how a play goes from a seed of an idea through a fully-realized production.

Then please stay for delicious dessert crepes and Java House coffee, meet the actors and visit with the playwright and director.
