PERFORMANCE VENUE
All performances are at The Undercroft Theatre, in the ground (street) level of the Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church at 900 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.
The Undercroft Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Washington D.C. on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and 9th Street (NW) and is just steps from the New Convention Center, and blocks from the National Mall, the Smithsonian, the Capitol One Arena, and Chinatown.
The church sits at the point formed by the intersections of 9th St, Massachusetts Avenue and K St, NW. One may enter from either of the street level side entrances on Massachusetts or K St, under the front of the church. Frankly, we are hard to miss!
The Undercroft Theatre of Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church is fully accessible and located on street level. Please call our Box Office at 202.900-8788 for any special needs.

Metered Street Parking
- K Street, NW between 9th and 12th St, NW, metered paid parking unlimited from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm weekdays/Saturdays. Pay with credit card, cash, or ParkMobileapp
- NOTE – two-hour limit Saturday afternoons, no parking in marked restaurant valet areas.
- Find other paid parking in a garage or lot through ParkWhiz or Spot Hero to locate and pre-pay for a parking spot in advance. Several of the hotels near us also have indoor garages that usually have space evenings and weekends. (Some of those are valet park only.)
- The Westin Downtown Hotel (formerly the Renaissance) at 999 9th St, NW is steps from our location and has a large self-park indoor 24 hour garage.
- City Center DC also has a large self-park underground lot that is four blocks from us at 9th and H Streets, NW; unless there is a big event at the Convention Center or the Capital One Arena, weekend parking rates at City Center are often as low as $12 for as long as you wish to park. (Rates go up at most parking lots and garages when there are big events in the neighborhood.)
- NOTE: Big events/games at the Washington Convention Center or the Capitol One Arena make finding parking more challenging, so it’s a good idea to check their event calendars and allow extra time to park.
