Forum Theatre celebrated 10 amazing years of groundbreaking theater in the D.C. area with a reception and Special Forum Awards Ceremony, followed by a performance of the critically acclaimed “The Last Days of Judas Iscariot!” at Round House Silver Spring May 31. Artistic Director Michael Dove recalled that the company had performed in 12 spaces in its first five years before settling into Round House. The first staging of “Judas,” he said, “taught us how to do our mission.” Dove presented engraved flasks inscribed with Forum’s productions to several early actors and supporters and in turn received a bottle of whiskey labeled “congratulations on 10 years of adventurous, relevant and challenging theatrical productions.”
