The National Theatre Tickets

As a privately owned playhouse, the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., opened back in 1835. It's still in the same location, at 1321 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. For a time, it was called both Grover's National Theatre and Grover's Theatre. Five fires took place in the 1800s, and as a result, the building has undergone several renovations. The structure that now stands was mostly built in 1923 and was renovated in 1983. Given its prominent location near the White House, it has played host to presidents, politicians, diplomats and other dignitaries. National Theatre events include stage, musical and dance performances such as STOMP and Pride and Joy, and special events are also often held there.
