Lovely little place in DC. Husband and I went to see the play West by God and it was absolutely amazing. The actors/actresses were so good, all emotions were felt. We will definitely be back!

First time there. elegant, intellectual political small space. Think old church.They are replicating Greak dramatic plays from 500 BC. Near Dupont Circle & Embassies of poorer countries.

Small but modern venue. Went to see Airness which was well performed and produced. Will be returning to see more productions! (Oh, and they have a small bar as well!)

Very nice clean theatre- looks brand new. I saw An Irish Carol over the winter which was fabulous. Great story line & excellent acting, especially by the lead Kevin. Will definitely return again soon!

Visiting from out of town, we have been to shows all over the world, from Broadway to the West End, and to shows all over DC and we happen to catch Chicago at the Keegan Theater, and it was a fantastic production. The Keegan is a small, intimate theater with a neighborhood feel, but don’t let its size fool you. The production was first class! The actors are experienced and talented, the show was well produced, and the orchestra played beautifully. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend. Bravo!

Great show selections. Wonderful staging and direction. Wonderful acting. Been to two shows and going back for more! Plan to get to the theatre area about a half hour before Showtime as street parking spaces around this part of DC is difficult to find.

The Bridges of Madison County was performed beautifully. The actors had wonderful voices. A creative team put together a captivating set/stage/scenery.

I keep forgetting how great this space is between shows, but then I see a performance and realize how much I love it. Its a hidden gem! I also love how the theatre fosters so much new and local talent.

The Keegan Theatre is an awesome little gem in Dupont! Tucked away in an old church in a beautiful neighbor is a professional theater group that does outstanding shows! Back when I lived in the neighborhood, they were literally in my backyard (I loved when they would leave the back doors open and I could hear the musicals rehearsing)! Ive lost count of the shows Ive seen there and every single one has been so incredibly good! And theres not a single remotely bad seat in the house because the theater is so small and intimate! I love it! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

My wife and I attended the Keegan Theatre performance of The Full Monty and had a great time.Keegan is a small theatre tucked into the middle of a residential street near Dupont Circle, but if you enjoy quality theatre without all the bells and whistles (and high prices) of Broadway (or Kennedy/Fords locally), I would definitely recommend Keegan.I dont know exactly how many seats there are, but it couldnt have been more than a couple of hundred, so for the performance, there really isnt a bad seat in the house. Which is good, since seating is general admission, first-come, first-served only. There are some light snacks available for a $1 donation, and a bar area that serves a selection of beer, wine, soft drinks, and water for reasonable prices ($2-5). There are two small restrooms downstairs and at intermission, it took pretty much the entire break for the line to work its way around. The vestibule is very small and can be cramped before the show and during the break, but its to be expected, and you can always step out onto Church St. for some fresh air (or a smoke, if thats your thing).On the bright side, they announced at the show that the Company had recently finalized a purchase of the property and their capital campaign to renovate the space was in full swing. Once the improvements are done, the experience will be even better, Im sure.The show itself was a lot of fun. I was a little worried about the quality of the talent, having never seen a show here before, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. All of the actors were very very good, with a great comedic timing and delivery.An exceptional value (tickets are $40, but you can usually find discounts online) and a very enjoyable night out.

Keegan is simply the best small professional Theatre in town. The renovation is amazing and the shows are always top-notch. Truly, a wonderful experience every time. I saw every show last season and was never disappointed.

A phenomenal arts space where burgeoning arts and talent come to life! We have yet to see a bad show here through four seasons! Their Irish dramas and comdies are best, but their quality is superb throughout! The local Helen Hayes awards have taken notice with recommendations and trophies. We picked this place for subscriptions after Woolly Mammoth traded in theatre for a political soap box. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and relaxed. The productions are exceedingly well-performed for a medium-sized venue. The venue is also close to many restaurants on 17th Street and DuPont Circle. Looking for something to do? Go see a show!
