This is a very moving, significant play, and the acting was superb. We hope this company, which we understand is struggling financially, is able to make a go of it because they would be sorely missed.

The Atlas Performing Arts Center is very easy to get to by public transit. The X2 bus stops practically in front of the door, plus the center runs shuttle bus service from Union Station Metro on Friday and Saturday evenings.

About Atlas Performing Arts Center:

The Atlas Performing Arts Center ("the Atlas"), the only community-based performing arts center in Washington, was created as a not-for-profit Washington D.C. corporation in November 2001. Located in a historic movie theatre complex on H Street in Near Northeast D.C., a once-vibrant corridor of the city that was devastated by riots in 1968, the Atlas formally opened its doors formally in November 2006 after four years of renovation.

The mission of the Atlas Performing Arts Center is to foster the artistic growth of professional and aspiring performing artists throughout the region; to energize the revitalization of H Street Northeast; to provide a unique community-centered venue for training and education in the performing arts and stagecraft; and to create a new model for collaborative theatre management.
