Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company was founded in 1978 by New York actors Howard Shalwitz and Roger Brady. At a time when many non-New York theatre companies focused on classics and productions of recent Broadway hits, Woolly Mammoth made a success of pioneering new work. Its shows have now gone onto Tony-winning Broadway productions, like Clybourne Park and A Strange Loop. Its productions have also received 200 nominations and 48 wins at the Helen Hayes Awards for regional theatre. Woolly Mammoth moved into its current home, a 265-seat theatre on D Street NW, in 2005.
