It may be the case that any theatrical work dealing with political or social themes gains an added level of immediacy and urgency by virtue of being staged in or near Washington, DC. That's certainly the case with ExPats Theatre's new production 'Coming to America: an Immigrant Cabaret.' Now showing at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Northeast DC, the rollicking revue provides a thoroughly enjoyable refutation of the xenophobic rhetoric which has emanated from the buildings nearby.
