Welcome to The Atlas Performing Arts Center, the only community-based performing arts center in Washington, DC - fondly referred to by some as "the people's Kennedy Center." Located in a historic movie theatre complex on H Street in Near Northeast D.C, this 60,000 square foot complex includes four theatres, three dance studios, offices, dressing rooms, lobbies, cafe, production and rehearsal space. The Atlas is home to a diverse group of outstanding resident arts organizations including theatre and dance companies, symphony orchestras, choral groups and arts education programs. Come visit our gleaming new center, where the arts thrive and all are welcome!
