Arena Stage

Arena Stage Review

The first regional theater company to win a Tony Award performs innovative American theater, reviving such classic plays as Oklahoma and also showcasing the country's best new writers. Arena's productions are held in the state-of-the art Mead Center for American Theatre, the second-largest performing arts complex in Washington, after the Kennedy Center. Located near the still-developing waterfront neighborhood in Southeast D.C., the Mead features three stages: a theater in the round, seating 650; a modified thrust stage theater seating 514; and the "Cradle," a new 200-seat black-box theater for experimental productions.
