Mission: The Studio Theatre''s mission is to produce the best in contemporary theatre. Its restless, innovative spirit seeks out new directions and makes The Studio Theatre a leader both in Washington and in the nation. Its four intimate, jewel-like theatres demonstrate its commitment to the primacy of performance and to intimacy between actor and audience. The Studio Theatre chooses to serve a larger audience with a greater number of performances, rather than a greater number of seats. It values the flexibility that its theatres allow to extend the life of productions in-house. Artist-founded and artist-driven, The Studio Theatre demands the highest quality production values, bringing audiences unparalleled artistry in design, directing, and performance. It is committed to producing bold, intelligent writing and to balancing contemporary classics with daring innovations.The Studio Theatre enriches the breadth and diversity of its programming through two additional producing areas: 2ndstage and Special Events. 2ndstage provides opportunities for emerging and established local and national artists, and our Special Events feature unique productions and one-of-a-kind performers from around the world. The Acting Conservatory offers rigorous professional theatre training in close partnership with the working artists at The Studio Theatre. This pairing allows students to develop their craft in a challenging and encouraging environment and to learn from the real-world experience of their instructors.
