Waterfront Tower Culture Update: Arena Stage Grand Opening Fall 2010

Just blocks from the National Mall and Smithsonian, Waterfront Tower puts you in the center of Washington D.C. culture. Throughout our neighborhood there are cultural landmarks and historic, living centers of the Arts.



A city treasure, Arena Stage has been the home of innovative theater for sixty years. And as a pioneer of regional theater, Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, and the very first to transfer a production to Broadway.



Now, the Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater will open on October 25th of this year. Artistic Director Molly Smith is eager to show off the new facility and bring award-winning artists to the city of Washington, D.C. Widely credited as one of the leading centers of American Theater, the new Arena Stage location is just three blocks from Waterfront Tower, your window to the Arts.



The New Mead Center Features:

  • State-of-the-art Technology and Modern Amenities
  • A Centralized Lobby with a Vastly Increased Number of Restrooms
  • Readily available Concessions and an Onsite CafĂ©
  • A Reading Area Dedicated to Students of American Theater
  • Easy Access to All Areas of the Building for People with Disabilities
  • Outdoor Terrace Overlooking the Potomac and Washington Monument



“The building is absolutely stunning. It is a magnificent and important piece of architecture that contributes greatly to the cultural landscape of Washington. It is one the best designed buildings in D.C. in the last decade.”—Zelda Fichandler, Founding Director, Arena Stage
