The Trumpeter
Dupont Underground
Washington DC, 20036
How to get there
Alliance for New Music-Theatre’s production of The Trumpeter this past January was Helen Hayes Recommended by Theatre Washington.
The performances were SRO, so now we are bringing it back to Dupont Underground with 13 performances from November 4 -22.
Staged again in the bunker-like tunnel of Dupont Underground, our production of Inna Goncharova’s play about the siege and bombing of Mariupol during the first year of the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a categorical success.
This will be a total immersive experience!
Directed by world-celebrated Hungarian director János Szász, who was joined by two of DC’s finest actors – Michael Kevin Darnall and Lise Bruneau, this production resonated with haunting music by trumpeter Kevin McKee. A refugee-led Ukrainian Men’s Vocal Ensemble enhanced the vivid storytelling in Inna Goncharova’s new play of survival against all odds by the last surviving member of a Ukrainian military band.
Our fully-staged experience is the latest event in our ongoing commitment to the writings of Ukrainian playwrights, bringing the far-away suffering of the Ukrainians up close during the fourth year of the Russian invasion.
