The inspiration for our theatres founding was a site-specific, roving production in multiple rooms of a house, back in 2013. Our namesake is the address of that house; a reference to the thrill of using an environment to its absolute fullest, asking the audience to take an active role in telling a story, and to our belief in treating every theatre-going experience like a house party. We are asking audiences to join with artists in making a space feel like home again. This feels like the perfect way to mark the start of our next chapter; revisiting our beginnings on a much bigger scale, and celebrating the community weve built since.Part of the companys rapid growth over the past few years has included the creation of a team of Resident Artists; DC-based performers, directors, designers, writers and more who have chosen to make 4615 a creative home. All of the works in Housewarming Theatre Festival involve at least one Resident Artist, either onstage or off, and many of the pieces are long-standing passion projects for those involved. We have an incredible line-up of performers, writers, designers and directors ready to give you a taste of the creative spirit that won us the 2020 John Aniello Award for Outstanding Emerging Theater. Festival passes are available now, so gather your friends and come celebrate with us as we make our theatre feel like home once more.
