In between picking out your new fall clothes and sipping on PSL, try discovering the awesome theater deals going on this month in D.C.

theatreWeek is an initiative started by theatreWashington which encompasses musicals, comedies, dramas, and more from dozens of participating theaters from September 21 to October 2.

This year, theatreWeek aims to accomplish two goals according to President and CEO Amy Austin,”First, we want to see a lot of new faces in our theatres, people who have never tried a live performance, or who aren’t aware of all that Washington has to offer. Second, we want to see our dedicated theatregoers trying something new. We want to see folks who love the Shakespeare Theatre Company venturing over to Woolly Mammoth. We want to see folks who love musicals try a serious drama. There are literally no limits to what’s available in this theatre community.”

So get out there and see some new theater this month! Here’s the full guide to what’s playing, where you can see it, and how you can get tickets.
