On Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, three blocks from The White House, stands the National Theatre, "The Theatre of Presidents." For 165 years the National Theatre has been a part of the history of the United States. This historic playhouse has seen Pennsylvania Avenue grow from the muddy main street of a fledgling capital, to the ceremonial avenue of a great world power.
Tours Tours of the National Theatre can be arranged when the house is "dark." However, when touring attractions are resident in the house, last-minute rehearsals and technical work make tours impossible to schedule. The minimum number of participants is 10, and the maximum is 60. Tours are for any age group -- so long as any children included are mature enough to listen quietly to the descriptions of the guide. Of course, if the group is all children, the discussion will be aimed at their age level, but polite attention is still expected. Free Performances Monday nights at 6pm and 7:30pm and Saturday mornings at 9:30am and 11am, in the Helen Hayes Gallery, the theater presents free performances. Seating is limited!! Tickets are Required, and are Distributed Without charge one Half-Hour Prior to Performance, on a First-Come First-Served policy. |
