Theater Alliance

Theater Alliance is a non-profit professional theater company located in Southeast DC. Our mission is to develop, produce, and present socially conscious, thought-provoking work that fully engages our community in active dialogue.

Theater Alliance was founded in 1993 as a community theater and made the transition to a professional company in 2001. Theater Alliance began with the distinct goal of producing work that would illuminate the experiences, philosophies, and interests of DC’s diverse populations. For a decade, Theater Alliance’s home and performance space was the H Street Playhouse.

In 2012, under the new leadership of Producing Artistic Director Colin Hovde, Theater Alliance began a new chapter with a refocused mission: to develop, produce, and present socially conscious, thought- provoking work that fully engages our community in active dialogue. The company moved from H Street to become the resident theater company of the Anacostia Playhouse, presenting its first full season there in 2013.
