Under Founding Artistic Director Joy Zinoman, the Studio Theatre’s mission is to produce the best in contemporary theatre. Its restless, innovative spirit makes it a leader both in DC and in the nation.
Artist-founded and artist-driven, the Studio Theatre demands the highest quality production values in its three-building, four-theatre performance complex.
Studio 2ndstage creates edgy and irreverent productions that complement the Studio Theatre’s season, and the Studio's special events open the the theatre's doors to one-of-a-kind artists that would not otherwise be seen in Washington. In addition, the Studio Theatre Acting Conservatory offers professional theatre training.
The Studio is deeply invested in the community and in neighborhood revitalization.
“The DC Jazz Jam has provided a tremendous boost to DC’s indigenous jazz scene. [The] cadre of fine musicians at Dahlak have managed to create a warm, inviting, encouraging, and creative environment at their weekly jam sessions, which is no small accomplishment. Experienced professionals, like myself, attend the jam to relax, stretch out musically, and network with other players. But at the same time, the DC Jazz Jam has proved to be the perfect setting for younger talent to come out, and have some of their first experiences playing in front of an audience and to learn their craft in the laboratory of a nurturing jam session. In this manner, the DC Jazz Jam is but the latest chapter in Washington’s long history with America’s classical music, jazz.”
