Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center
Since opening in 2001, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center has become a cultural force in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, known for adventuresome programming in dance, theatre, music and interdisciplinary art.
Along with our academic partners the School of Music and the School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, we offer experiences that take you beyond the stage and into the creative process - performances, residencies, workshops, dialogues and other activities that help you dig deeper into the world of ideas.

Other times you'll find us behind the scenes as we plan the season of performances and events; design print and online materials; create sets, costumes, lighting and sound design; raise funds and balance the budget; or talk with the media about our work.
