MetroStage, led by Carolyn Griffin, is a nonprofit theatre company dedicated to producing an eclectic season of classic and contemporary plays and musicals that are chosen to enrich, enlighten, and entertain, and that reflect the diverse population of the Washington metropolitan area.
After 19 years on North Royal St, MetroStage is preparing for its next chapter—a new permanent home on North Fairfax Street in Alexandria’s Old Town North Arts District.
Winstanley Architects & Planners are leading the build out the new 120 seat 10,000 sf theatre, including the stage, seating, lighting, sound, backstage dressing rooms, a box office, concessions, accessible entrances, and more. Together, we are creating another intimate theatre venue for MetroStage to continue to offer the engaging, uncompromising artistry and award-winning entertainment to the Alexandria community.
Helping make this new home possible, Carr Properties has provided MetroStage with an extraordinary 30-year rent-free lease within its Venue development.
