Most U.S. residents consider soccer an activity suburban kids between the ages of 5 and 18 do after school and on weekends. But elsewhere in the world, the fanaticism of both fans and players increases with age. At least that’s the case in Tom Wells’ new play, Jumpers for Goalposts, which makes its U.S. debut at Studio Theatre tonight. The comedy follows the travails of a hopeless five-a-side team competing in an LGBT league in eastern England. Like the majority of British dramas, it offers a bit of humor, a bit of somberness, and plenty of pints. Read more >>> The play runs May 13 to June 21 at Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW. $20–$88.
