A Historical Look at DC Theater Over 25 Years!

WAPAVA completed a beautiful e-publication, funded by a grant from the Humanities DC Council. WAPAVA Reel Time: A Historical Look at DC Theatre over 25 years casts a spotlight on the rich history of DC theater, told from the perspective of DC theater professionals, and shares WAPAVA’s unique mission in preserving and archiving DC’s theater productions for 25 years. The e-publication serves as a tool for engaging theatergoers, developing new audiences, highlighting the wonderful productions and talent within the DC theater community, noting the importance theater and the arts have in society and extending the reach and use of the WAPAVA archive.

We also have a wonderful 2-minute companion video that talks about WAPAVA’s mission that we will use to promote the archive.

Individuals who donate $250 or more will receive a printed copy of WAPAVA Reel Time: A Historical Look at DC Theatre over 25 years.

This is our way of thanking you for supporting WAPAVA and the theatre arts community!

“Those of us that were a part of the theatre scene since the 70’s are fiercely proud of this body of work we have made together, and precisely because it is ephemeral in nature, we are so very glad to have the work preserved by WAPAVA.”
