From the outside its hard to tell that the Atlas has two main theatres but also two smaller lab theatres that also host performances. They even host performances in the lobby. They can host anything from theatre, music, dance and other performance art many times at the very same moment. You can see some very interesting intersections of the citys population at the Atlas on any given Friday night. Rorschach Theatres production of Neil Gaimans Neverwhere was the most imaginative theatre Ive seen. Some other favorites at the Atlas include B Fly Entertainments LINER NOTES and Marc Bamuthi Josephs red, black and green: a blues!. All three of those were in the Sprenger Black Box theatre. Its amazing how differently configured the theatre was for each.

Visited for the first time today during the intersections 2017 festival after finding their website on groupon. So glad we did. They had a free family fun event from 10am-12pm mostly geared towards toddlers but my 8 year old had some interesting discussions with some of the artists that gave her great information about how each instrument works & an opportunity to test their instruments. Then we had lunch nearby and returned for the 1pm specific gravity circus show. The staff were all very nice and the show was wonderful. We will definitely return.

It had a nice theatre, and seemed like a bustling cultural center with several interactive art pieces in the lobby area and live jazz artists. It was very crowded on the Sunday evening I was there. It was a little dirty while I was there, but that was probably because of the salted winter sidewalks outside plus the high volume of people.

A beautiful performance space. Easily one of my favorite places now to see a show. I went there for Sonic Circuits and the staff was friendly and the space was beautiful. The place is a pleasant surprise, and I can see why it became the anchor to the H Street/Atlas District.

Wonderful theater company in there second year of production. We have gone to all the shows in the first two season and have enjoyed all the plays. Put it on top of your theater list to go see a show soon. You will love it!

Great performances for typically a low price! Check out TodayTix for day of discounts. There is a bar with light snacks for purchase.

Nice facility with ability to serve several activities simultaneously. We watched aerial artists on stage
