WHO WE ARE

Since a group of neighbors formed a play-reading group in 1949, Dominion Stage has been a part of Arlington.  We are Arlington's oldest community theatre.  We seek stories that reflect everyone in our community, especially those not usually highlighted.  To us, "Anything But Predictable" means you'll see stories about the good, the bad, the ugly, and even the undead.  We've explored incest, suicide, drug abuse, mental illness, sexuality, prejudice, puppet sex, and crime, as well as life in a trailer park, on a desert isle, in a locker room, in colonial Salem, and in prehistoric times.  Sometimes we're not the best choice for Grandma or the kids, and we'll let you know.  We ARE the best choice for theatre that makes you think, helps you understand, makes you laugh (frequently), makes you cry (sometimes), and celebrates the community we are all a part of.

COME FIND US!

GUNSTON THEATRE TWO,
2700 S Lang Street, Arlington, VA:
Dominion Stage's current black-box home (the original library of Gunston Middle School) gives us space to present musicals with large casts and sets, as well as the intimacy necessary for more dramatic pieces and comedies.  Seating configuration changes with each production, and audience members are rarely more than a few steps from the actors. There is plentiful free parking.  Patrons enter via the main glass doors, pass Theatre One on the left, and follow the signs down the hall to Theatre Two, or may drive around the building to park closer to Theatre Two's entrance (look for the neon art).  The closest Metro (though not walkable) is Pentagon City. If arriving by car service, tell the driver the Theatres are located uphill, away from the soccer fields.

THEATRE ON THE RUN,
3700 S Four Mile Run Drive, Arlington, VA:
For more intimate shows, Dominion Stage will use the smaller black box theatre located in the Arlington Cultural Affairs building. Seating for fewer than 100 patrons, less than 10 feet from the action! Direct-access entrance to Theatre On The Run is at the side of the building on S. Oakland St. Parking is extremely limited behind the building but street parking is plentiful as well as overflow parking lots at the ends of both side streets (S. Oakland St. & S. Nelson St.).
