Subject: THIS WEEKEND: We Tell YOUR Story!

District Playback Theater Ensemble

Can we tell each other the truth? And if not THE truth, can we each tell our own truth? In a Playback Theater performance that is what we seek to do: open up a hallowed space where our neighbors, can – by sharing their personal stories – tell the truth about their lives and the life of our neighborhood and our country.

You tell your story and these actors, who have been especially trained to do this, will turn your story into a short one-act play or scene.

Anacostia and the whole of DC continues to change, COVID has forced some changes, and all of our relationships continue to evolve. What have you held on to? What have you had to let go? What do you do that allows you to continue to wake up every morning and keep going?

We're ready to Play your story Back to you. Our only question is: Where does your story begin?

Tickets are $25

Playing April 15 thru 17

In Concert: David Hammett

Join us for an evening of song from a Anacostia Playhouse audience favorite David Hammett (Black Nativity). David is a native Washingtonian and has made it his mission to spread his love of music to everyone he encounters. He believes that music is a source of healing for the soul. This Soulful Tenor is known for singing several genres of music, from neo-soul and jazz to classical and gospel and is sure to captivate audiences in this one-night-only concert.
