Free Theater on H Street Program

"Our goal is to contribute to the vitality of the H Street community. For Theater Alliance, this means helping to bring people, business, and a renewed pride back to this area of the city. This is the motivation behind our creation of the Free Theater on H Street program, which has already begun to strengthen our relationship with our fellow H Street residents."

Winner of the 2004 Mary Goldwater Award “for commitment to community outreach.”

The Program

The ultimate opportunity we are pursuing is to become a vital part of the H Street community. For us this means helping to bring people, business, and a renewed pride back to this area of the city. That is the motivation behind the creation of this program that has begun to strengthen our relationship with H Street.

Thanks to the generous support of the Weissberg and MARPAT Foundations, as well as the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, we are able to give away up to 20 free tickets per performance for every Theater Alliance production to those living within a five-block radius of the H Street Playhouse. This program also includes all students currently enrolled at Gallaudet University. Anyone wishing to receive a free ticket needs simply to bring a driver’s license, billing statement, or Gallaudet Student ID to the H Street Playhouse on the day of the performance you wish to attend. Please note: free tickets are only given for Theater Alliance productions.
