Time Out says

This brash and often-brilliant company has been pushing boundaries (both theatrical and personal) for a quarter-century, most recently in a superb $7-million, 265-seat Downtown home. Notable playwrights who’ve called Woolly home include Six Feet Under scribe Craig Wright, Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (The Clean House) and that poet of neurosis, Nicky Silver. In the pipeline at the time of writing was Stupid Fucking Bird, an irreverent, contemporary remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, directed by Woolly artistic director Howard Shalwitz.

What’s on

We the Woolly: Remixing 250

We the Woolly: Remixing 250 transforms Woolly Mammoth Theatre into a lively crossroads of performance and conversation for America’s 250th birthday. Across four weeks, the venue pulses with live music, dance, spoken word, and circus acts, each drawing on DC’s eclectic creative energy. The programming leans into the city’s diversity, inviting audiences to experience the capital’s many voices in one space. Family-friendly afternoons give way to evenings that blur the lines between audience and artist, with interactive moments woven throughout. Rather than simply marking a milestone, the series asks what the next chapter of American culture might look like, using the stage as a canvas for possibility. The result is less a retrospective and more a living, breathing snapshot of a city in motion, where celebration and reflection unfold side by side.
