Lean & Hungry Theater Competitors

Our Mission Studio Theatre is dedicated to producing the best in contemporary theatre. Our restless, innovative spirit generates an uncommonly rich and diverse body of work, encompassing provocative new writing from around the world, unique special events, and inventive stagings of contemporary classics. Devoted above all to artistic excellence, Studio Theatre strives to present audiences with extraordinary writing, sophisticated design, and stunning performance. Our commitment to connecting actors and audience is built into the very architecture of our building, where none of our four performance spaces seats more than 225 patrons. No theatre of comparable budget size operates such exclusively intimate spaces. Studio Theatre is also committed to nurturing future generations of theatre professionals. Toward this end, we offer rigorous theatre training for both adults and young people, provide year-long apprenticeships for early-career arts leaders, and involve emerging talent in the creation of our work. We believe in accessibility and inclusion, and open our doors to students and audiences across the region through a wide variety of outreach programs. A premiere cultural organization in Washington DC, Studio Theatre is proud to make a vital contribution to our neighborhood and city.

Round House Theatre is home to outstanding ensemble acting and lifelong learning. We serve over 40,000 patrons a year through our mainstage productions in Bethesda, as well as our educational programs in Silver Spring.
