We saw "The 39 Steps" on a Sunday matinee and it was great! The Theater is small but comfortable and the sight lines are great from any angle. The actors did an amazing job - especially in a play full of dialogue and on-stage set changes. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and can't wait to check out another show at the theater!

I think this theatre company is really great for the productions they are putting on. The prices fit the stage production value. I definitely recommend the higher priced though because you get a chair with a back. The Theater is small and feels really intimate but the talent isn’t lacking with the cast!

Aida is wonderful - staging is well done, lead voices are excellent, and Constellation Theatre continues to be a shining star in the DC theatre scene. Although some of the male supporting dancers were not fully engaged in the choreography and timing, the overwhelming effect was compelling and elicited pure joy. The soloists were fabulous. The duets, quartets, and full company musical numbers were outstanding in tonality, synchronous harmony, balance, and dynamics. A huge well done to the cast and crew!

In town for a protest march, and having walked quite a bit during the day, I wanted to spend Saturday evening sitting down. Found a Facebook event listing for "By the Skin of Our Teeth." When I arrived at the theater, there were only a few seats left, including one in the front row. I thought it would be a nice treat, paid the $60 plus $5 service fee.
The chairs are less comfortable than what you'd find in an office waiting room. And I slipped my shoes off.
At the intermission someone wearing a headset came over to tell me that "the stage manager" wanted me to put my shoes back on. She made a
