‘The Bedwetter’Feb. 4-March 16Arena Stage1101 6th St., S.W.$69-$119Arenastage.org Skilled and experienced at comedy and drama, Broadway vet Ashley Blanchet says there’s a big difference between the two.
She explains, “Comedy is right or wrong, you nail it or you don’t; whereas with drama there’s room for subjectivity. Because I started out as a dancer, being able to hit the mark makes a lot of sense to me.
There’s a lot of rhythm to comedy.” Currently Blanchet is eliciting laughs as Miss New Hampshire in “The Bedwetter” at Arena Stage.
A musical based on comedian Sarah Silverman’s bestselling memoir, it’s the funny yet poignant story of a hairy 10-year-old girl’s struggle with clinical depression and bedwetting.
