Woolly Mammoth Theater

Located at 641 D Street, NW (right off the corner of 7th & D), the dynamic 265-seat courtyard-style theatre is just steps away from the Metro, museums, the National Mall and wonderful restaurants and retail shops. This “transparent theatrical laboratory,” designed by award-winning architect Mark McInturff and Theatre Projects Consultants, offers patrons a glimpse into the spirit of the entire operation with glass-walled rehearsal, classroom and administrative spaces and a spectacular two-tiered lobby. The new Woolly Mammoth is a bustling place to experience the leading edge of theatre with theatergoers, artists and students rubbing elbows at hundreds of performances every year.
