Theatre In DC Reaffirms Commitment to Comprehensive Arts Coverage
Theatre In DC
WASHINGTON, DC - Theatre In DC [https://www.theatreindc.com/], a leading online destination for live theatre coverage in the Washington, DC area, expressed deep concern over The Washington Post's recent decision to eliminate its chief theatre critic position and reduce arts and culture staffing as part of sweeping February 2026 layoffs. At the same time, Theatre In DC reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to ensuring that the region's theatres continue to receive the visibility, critical attention, and audience engagement they deserve.
For decades, The Washington Post served as an indispensable platform for serious theatre criticism in the nation's capital. Its coverage connected audiences with local stages, elevated regional work to national prominence, and provided a vital record of the DC area's rich and diverse theatrical landscape. The loss of dedicated, staffed theatre criticism at the Post leaves a significant gap-one that the broader arts community will feel acutely.
Theatre In DC was founded to do exactly what this moment demands: pull together reviews, news, and features from dozens of sources across the region and present them in one place so that audiences can discover shows, theatres can be heard, and the outstanding work happening on DC's stages receives the spotlight it deserves. The site aggregates coverage from a wide array of publications, blogs, podcasts, and independent critics-ensuring that no single outlet's editorial decisions can silence the conversation around live theatre in this community.
"When I heard about the cuts at The Washington Post, my first thought was about the theatres-the artists, the companies, the productions that depend on coverage to reach audiences," said Mark Meyer, founder of Theatre In DC. "This is exactly why Theatre In DC exists. We pull reviews and news from dozens of sources so that every show-whether it's a major production or a small premiere-has a chance to be seen, discussed, and celebrated. The DC theatre community is too talented and too important to go unnoticed, and we're going to keep making sure that doesn't happen."
Theatre In DC will continue to expand its aggregation of reviews, previews, and news across the region's theatrical landscape. The site covers productions at venues of all sizes-from flagship institutions to emerging companies-and draws from a diverse ecosystem of critics and publications to provide audiences with a comprehensive view of what's playing and what's worth seeing.
The Washington, DC region is home to one of the most dynamic theatre communities in the country, with dozens of non-profit companies creating thousands of jobs and engaging audiences across genres, cultures, and communities. At a time when traditional arts journalism is contracting, platforms that collect and amplify coverage from multiple voices are more essential than ever.
Theatre In DC invites audiences, theatre companies, publicists, and independent arts journalists to connect and collaborate. Whether through submitting show listings, sharing reviews, or partnering on coverage, the site remains committed to being the go-to resource for live theatre in the DC area.
