If you've got a standing room ticket, sit on the red bench at the north entrance of the theatre and wait until the show is about to begin.

Original building designed by Harry Weese (architect of METRO) and built in 1960 and was a notable element in the SW urban renewal program. Designated in 1980.

This is the premiere theatre in the round. It is world-reknown for quality productions.

Empty seats will be allocated to people holding standing room tickets at the last minute and if there is still no seat for you when intermission, you'll get a refund.

The building is huge, though the theater is still intimate with great views from every angle.

Did you know there's a subway stop just one block from the Arena Stage? Get off at the Waterfront stop and leave the car home.

There is a "pay your age" program but it doesn't apply to standing room tickets.

Eat before you get here! Over-priced, confusing, understaffed. It could be such a nice experience. I liked Le Bon Cafe better.

Parking is available at 1101 4th Street, SW and 1100 4th Street, SW for $10 to Arena Stage patrons. Don't forget to bring your ticket inside for validation.

Opens in October 2010. SWEET! Check out the new Safeway. Apparently it's the best Safeway in the nation now since it's refurb.

Free street parking Sundays. Caesar salad at Cafe is mediocre & overpriced.

Preorder a beverage for intermission.

Don't eat at the cafe there. Awful, overpriced food served on paper plates. Be sure to make dinner plans elsewhere prior. FYI- there are no decent restaurants in the area.
