Founded in 1990, Avant Bard (formerly Washington Shakespeare Company) is a performing arts organization dedicated to producing classic works (both time-tested and contemporary), emphasizing a bold approach in an intimate setting that showcases the best emerging and established talent in the region. At Avant Bard we are in the business of discovery. As a company at the heart of the vibrant theatre scene in our nation's capital, we approach our work passionately and are dedicated to producing plays that inspire and challenge preconceptions of theatre.
Pointless Theatre Co. creates bold, visceral, and affordable spectacles that gleefully smash the traditional boundaries between puppetry, theatre, dance, music, and the visual arts.
