A cultural hub in the U District since 1921, this striking Renaissance-revival theater is operated by STG Presents, which also runs the Paramount and Moore. The lineup—featuring mostly pop music and comedy—includes a mix of emerging and well-established acts. On the third Saturday of every month you can take a free tour of the theater.
