It's time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of the mid-Atlantic regional stage.

Today, we discuss "Exclusion," a story about an award-winning historian whose best-selling book about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 has the chance to become a mini-series by a greedy Hollywood producer.

Exclusion is at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., until June 21.
