The Atlas Performing Arts Center in the H Street Corridor of northeast D.C. has announced its lineup for the 2024-2025 fall season.

Atlas’ scheduled performances include Akua Allrich, Christopher Prince, Black Leaves Dance Company, Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra, Furia Flamenca, Happy Theatre, City at Peace, Reverb and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington’s Sing Out. Expats Theatre returns to Atlas for its new season opening with Marlene, a play about Marlene Dietrich. In intimate backstage conversations, Marlene blisters many of her Hollywood contemporaries, reveals delicate memories of her countless affairs, and flirts with her assistant Vivian.

“At the Atlas, our fall 2024 season will bring to our stages a calendar full of theatre, dance, and music for all to enjoy,” said Douglas Yeuell, the center’s executive director. “In our community and our lives, the arts make a difference and impact us in so many powerful ways. We here at the Atlas create and present programs and events that we believe will resonate deeply with all who experience them. Visit us, take a seat, and enjoy the show. We are excited to share the world with you.”

Residents Arts Partners, Mosaic Theater, Visionaries of the Creative Arts and Capital City Symphony will once again present their season on Atlas stages. Dissonance Dance Theatre (DDT) will join Atlas as a Resident Arts Partner with a contemporary ballet presentation under the direction of Shawn Short.

DDT will host three productions, nine new works and six choreographers of color with styles ranging from contemporary ballet, percussive jazz and modern dance. The Mosaic Theater, now in its 10th season, has a robust line-up planned to include a musical about the iconic Billie Holiday, a world premiere in collaboration with Georgetown University, a D.C. premiere about the Flint, Michigan, water crisis and a thought-provoking play about celebrity artists Andy Warhol.

Tickets go on sale for the upcoming season on July 1.
