Local Theatre Residency

Hosted at the Kennedy Center’s REACH, the Local Theatre Residency is a curated developmental residency program providing time, space, and funds to local DMV theater companies and playwrights. With no output requirement, resident artists are tasked with the sole task of creation. 

The Local Theatre Residency program, seeks and curates those who use their artistry to amplify stories that are often overlooked and engages with artists who share Social Impact's beliefs: The arts can be leveraged for non-arts outcomes and hold the unique power in our society to build community, center joy, inspire action, and drive meaningful change.

In the spirit of President Kennedy's vision for a new frontier for the arts, the development of new artistic work lives in the spirit of The REACH: A place where vistors, audiences, and artists can come together for collaboration, experimentation, and exploration.
