Info

Arena Stage produces plays that reveal all that is passionate, exuberant, deep and dangerous in the American spirit. Our shoulders are broad: we produce the vast epic, the charged drama, the bittersweet comedy and the robust musical alike. While we will always produce American classics, Arena Stage also premieres new American plays and supports works in progress. As the largest of the Washington, D.C. area's not-for-profit producing theaters, Arena Stage attracts an annual audience of over 250,000 patrons and 25,000 students. The 120-seat Old Vat Room is our flexible-format stage where we present works in development through our downstairs in the Old Vat Room series. Washington Drama Society, D.B.A. Arena Stage, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
