Winner of Best Drama at the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival, Genesis returns for an eight-show engagement at the Warehouse at an opportune time, as it echoes Jared Loughner’s recent shooting rampage in Arizona. Local playwright Evan Crump tells a story about a mental patient who believes himself a fallen angel, raising tough questions about religion and what Crump suggests is society’s willful ignorance about the mentally ill. John C. Bailey directs a cast featuring Derek Jones, Bruce Alan Rauscher, Julie Roundtree and Andrew Wassenich. To Jan. 30. Warehouse, 645 New York Ave. NW. Tickets are $15.
