Washington DC is in the midst of a theatre building boom. “All over town, all over the region, theaters are hiring architects and raising millions and embarking on ambitious plans to move to spanking new homes or enlarge and refurbish existing ones. It’s Act 1 in a period of monumental physical change for Washington theater, a building boom that is going to affect every major company – and even some less-than-major ones – in and around the city. By the time the boom is over, sometime around the end of the decade, the area’s premier theaters will all have roomier accommodations and new looks.”
