Welcome to Discovery Theater!
Welcome to Discovery Theater!

Now On Sale! Our Exciting 2013-14 Season

The Perfect DC Destination for Families
Looking for some family fun time? Look no further than Discovery Theater and the Smithsonian.
Our performances make the ideal centerpiece for an engaging, convenient, and economical in-town excursion. With shows geared towards families and a wide range of ages, you’re sure to find plenty of possibilities.
See a show and then continue the fun (and find some great learning opportunities) at one of the Smithsonian’s many museums and galleries. Hang out on the National Mall. Bring a picnic. Toss a ball. The beauty and the amazing educational resources at the heart of our capital city are just a Metro ride away.
And it all starts at Discovery Theater! Discover what our new season holds for your family.

Season Calendar


Rockin’ weekday fun for the youngest music fans:
Clear the floor! Tot Rock gets kids moving to great bands—and adults love to join in the fun, too. We've got four daytime dance party concerts planned this season, presented with Jammin’ Java Coffee House and Music Club. With Joanie's Halloween Party to kick-off the series,  there’s no reason to scare up an excuse to dance like crazy with this energetic Brooklyn-based, kindie-rock band, Joanie Leeds and The Nightlights.
Spend a hometown holiday with us:
We have some great ways to celebrate the seasons Smithsonian style. Heidi and Sam, two wacky puppeteers, and Ooey Gooey, the most adorable worm in the circus, take a playful, interactive look at some favorite characters from children’s rhymes and stories in Ooey Gooey Thanksgiving with Barefoot Puppets.
There’s a dinosaur holiday puppet bash in December followed by the ever-popular Seasons of Light. Back for its 15th season, this show celebrates the history and customs of Ramadan, Devali, Sankta Lucia, Chanukah, Los Posados, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and the First Nations’ tradition of the Winter Solstice in an interactive event that bridges communities and cultures.
We’re part of the Kid Euro Festival:
Each fall, the 27 countries of the European Union sponsor a month-long festival of free performances for children all around town. In November, Discovery Theater hosts the inventive solo performer Ulrike Kley from Germany in Pappelappap: Cardboard Play Time—proving that the possibilities are endless and that an everyday cardboard box can contain a world of theatrical fun.  (Check out kidseurofestival.org for more shows.)



Our first shows of the season are right around the corner—don't miss them!
