Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theatre

The Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theatre is a performance hall at American University that hosts theatrical productions, musicals, and dance events year-round. The facility features contemporary design and technical systems suitable for a range of artistic presentations and event types.

The venue opened in 2003 following a major donation from Harold and Sylvia Greenberg to advance performing arts at the university. This gift enabled American University to expand its artistic programs and provide better facilities for students and artists.

The theater serves as a meeting point where students and professional artists from the Washington area collaborate and perform together. Visitors experience a space where emerging talent works alongside established performers.

The theater is located in the Tenleytown neighborhood and is easy to access from nearby streets and public transportation areas. Visitors should check ahead for current programs since events vary depending on the academic calendar and season.

The space doubles as an educational laboratory where students gain professional experience by working directly with experienced performers on productions. This blend of learning and professional output creates an active environment for artistic development and mentorship.
