Best Medicine Rep Celebrates 10 Years with a Season of Comedies
Best Medicine Rep is marking a milestone in style. The company has announced its 10th Anniversary Season-a trio of comedies penned by Artistic Director John Morogiello that promises ghosts, scandal, and at least one exorcism broadcast on live television. Spanning fall 2026 through spring 2027 across venues in Bethesda and Gaithersburg, the season also puts the spotlight on Board Vice President Rebecca A. Herron, who takes the stage in the winter production. From a farce about a shattered priceless statue to a sly riff on Puccini, here's what audiences can look forward to as Best Medicine Rep celebrates a decade of laughs.
