Traveling Players opens summer of student theater at Tysons Corner Center

The Traveling Players Ensemble is ready to bring the drama — and comedy — to Tysons Corner Center this summer.

The nonprofit theater company for students kicked off its summer season today (Friday) with the world premiere of “Hercules!,” a new play commissioned from D.C. playwright, poet, and teacher Judith Walsh White.
