Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Washington, D.C., USA – Theater Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Give us the big picture: What’s the vibe of the place, what’s it like? With a stripped-down feel and innovative new plays on stage, the Woolly Mammoth is one of the city’s most unique venues. The 265-seat courtyard-style theater is intimate yet spacious, with a contemporary design that evokes an industrial vibe—exposed metal rigging, steel beams, and wooden slats. What kinds of events can we see here? Woolly Mammoth, whose mission is to “galvanize diverse artists and audiences to engage with our world in unexpected and often challenging ways," prides itself on showcasing audacious new theatrical styles. Many of the plays here are world premieres or early productions, and the venue supports playwrights through commissions. How are the seats? There’s not a bad seat to be had at Woolly Mammoth, thanks to its small, tiered sections that all provide great views of the performance space. Anything in particular that makes this place special, from the programming to a unique feature it has? Woolly Mammoth offers pay-what-you-can nights, discount pricing on tickets for students and anyone 30 and under, and $20 “stampede seats”—essentially a flash sale on unsold balcony seats starting two hours before showtime. If we’re going to be in town, what—and who—do you think this is best for? Hip and daring theater obsessives will love this place, as will anyone with an open mind." - Amy McKeever
