Cultural Organization
Discovery Theater has been presenting DC-area children with live educational performances for more than 30 years. As a program of the Smithsonian Associates, Discovery Theater serves as a child’s gateway to the exhibitions, collections, and cultures contained in the museums on the National Mall and beyond. There’s so much to explore at the Smithsonian! Each year, Discovery Theater offers some performances on tour that can come to schools, libraries, and community centers throughout the greater DC area. These performances offer audiences the opportunity to experience heritage, science, and culture in a memorable way and are great for school-wide assemblies, family nights, and library family series.
