Keegan Theatre — Attraction in Washington

My wife and I attended the Keegan Theatre performance of "The Full Monty" and had a great time.

Keegan is a small theatre tucked into the middle of a residential street near Dupont Circle, but if you enjoy quality theatre without all the bells and whistles (and high prices) of Broadway (or Kennedy/Fords locally), I would definitely recommend Keegan.

I don't know exactly how many seats there are, but it couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred, so for the performance, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Which is good, since seating is general admission, first-come, first-served only. There are some light snacks available for a $1 donation, and a "bar" area that serves a selection of beer, wine, soft drinks, and water for reasonable prices ($2-5). There are two small restrooms downstairs and at intermission, it took pretty much the entire break for the line to work its way around. The vestibule is very small and can be cramped before the show and during the break, but it's to be expected, and you can always step out onto Church St. for some fresh air (or a smoke, if that's your thing).

On the bright side, they announced at the show that the Company had recently finalized a purchase of the property and their capital campaign to renovate the space was in full swing. Once the improvements are done, the experience will be even better, I'm sure.

The show itself was a lot of fun. I was a little worried about the quality of the talent, having never seen a show here before, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. All of the actors were very very good, with a great comedic timing and delivery.

An exceptional value (tickets are $40, but you can usually find discounts online) and a very...

I went with my three sisters last night because we wanted to relive our childhood experience of all being in Seussical: The Musical (Us as Jojo, Mayzie, and Gertrude, the youngest sister we just brought along for the ride because we did it before her time). Two sisters came all the way from Richmond and one even came from Austin Texas! I had never been to the theatre before but I live only a few blocks away.

Well let me just say we were absolutely blown away. The location is adorable, in the middle of a residential street in Dupont Circle. The set looked great, with delightful details, and the live band gave an amazing energy. We sat in the front row and cried the entire time because the performances were so great. I would recommend this theatre to anybody. This is a local treasure. We thought the standouts in the show were Tori Gomez as The Sour Kangaroo, Sarah Chapin as Gertrude McFuzz, and Stephen Russell Murray as the mayor. Childhood...

A phenomenal arts space where burgeoning arts and talent come to life! We have yet to see a bad show here through four seasons! Their Irish dramas and comdies are best, but their quality is superb throughout! The local Helen Hayes awards have taken notice with recommendations and trophies. We picked this place for subscriptions after Woolly Mammoth traded in theatre for a political soap box. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and relaxed. The productions are exceedingly well-performed for a medium-sized venue. The venue is also close to many restaurants on 17th Street and DuPont Circle. Looking for something to do? ...
