Venus Theatre

Venus Theatre is committed to setting flight to the voices of women and children with theatre for a lifetime.  Ten years of producing in temporary rental spaces in DC, NYC, Baltimore, and Pennsylvania has led to a new vision.  In April of 2006 Venus secured a storefront in Laurel, MD.  The Venus Theatre Play Shack is home to the Company today.

This March and April Venus goes back to her edgy roots by staging a banquet-style production of an all-female MEASURE FOR MEASURE by William Shakespeare.  It's BYOB and food.  Venus is very excited to welcome ONE BIG TABLE ARTS COLLECTIVE into the Play Shack Lobby.  Feel free to shop for hand-made souvenirs crafted by brilliant DC-Women.
