After a remarkable journey spanning nearly two decades, the Constellation Theatre Company is preparing to bid farewell to its long-standing home at Source Theatre. This iconic venue, nestled in the heart of Washington DC, has served as the creative hub for countless productions over the years. In August 2024, CulturalDC, the owner of the property, announced plans to put the building up for sale, intending to transfer it to another nonprofit arts organization. Despite Constellation's efforts to acquire the building and safeguard its legacy, the deal did not come to fruition.
The theatre company’s tenure at Source Theatre has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the past eighteen years, they have presented an impressive fifty-three productions, involving more than a thousand collaborators and attracting tens of thousands of patrons. These performances have brought life and vibrancy to the space, creating unforgettable experiences for audiences. With gratitude, Constellation acknowledges the support from individuals, government entities, and foundations that have made their work possible. As they transition into this new phase, the company remains committed to artistic innovation and exploration, inviting the community to join them in celebrating with their upcoming production, Head Over Heels.
Artistic endeavors often face challenges, yet they also offer opportunities for growth and transformation. The story of Constellation Theatre Company exemplifies resilience and creativity in the face of change. Their dedication to producing compelling narratives within an intimate setting continues to inspire both artists and audiences alike. Looking ahead, the company envisions a future filled with exciting possibilities, where bold ideas and adventurous storytelling will thrive. Through perseverance and passion, Constellation Theatre Company sets a shining example of how art can unite communities and illuminate pathways forward.
