National Theatre
Arena
The National Theatre opened in 1835. Every person who has served
as President of the United States has attended performances here, earning
the playhouse the revered title: "Theatre of Presidents." The
historic playhouse has seen Pennsylvania Avenue grow from the muddy main
street of a fledgling capital to the ceremonial avenue of a great world
power.
The National has presented first-class touring productions continuously
longer than any other theatre in America.
