Journey with us through the theatrical history of Washington, DC. Theatre Week 2024 is proud to bring back the fan-favorite walking tour of downtown DC theatres. Co-hosted by Farar Elliott (Curator and Chief, Office of Art and Archives in the U.S. House of Representatives) and Chris Geidner (Journalist and Blogger, Law Dork), this 90-minute tour celebrates the past, present, and future of your favorite downtown venues.
Kicking things off at the historic National Theatre (1321 Pennsylvania Ave NW), this guided exploration of the Penn Quarter neighborhood features stops at Ford’s Theatre, Shakespeare Theatre Company, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company – plus some fun facts about the #dctheatre community at large. After the tour (optional), enjoy a Pay-What-You-Will ticket offer to see The Comeuppance by DC native and Tony Award winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.
The Historic Theatre Walking Tour is brought to you in partnership with Events DC and WalkingTown DC.
