Lisner Auditorium, Theatre building in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C.
Lisner Auditorium is a theatre building in Foggy Bottom with a limestone facade and geometric shapes. The interior holds around 1,400 seats without columns, giving everyone a clear view of the stage.
The building was designed in 1940 and completed in 1946, showing the stripped classicism style. It received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The building has long served as a venue for different musical genres and live performances. Artists have used the stage to present their work to audiences across many decades.
The venue is located at 730 21st Street NW and features eight dressing rooms plus modern audio and video equipment. A loading dock makes it easy to bring in large stage elements and gear.
A bronze horse sculpture stands in front of the building and catches the eye of visitors right away. Inside, a large mural by Augustus Vincent Track decorates the auditorium space.
