Fusing the classical elements of drama, movement, dance, mime, text, and music into a distinct form of non-realistic drama, Synetic Theater has taken Washington audiences by storm. At once avant-garde and accessible, its extraordinary productions have also left critics breathless: "A fast-moving, visually stunning work, unlike anything else being done on local stages," (Washington Examiner); and “if you've never experienced the hyper-theatrical dance moves and dramatics of the astonishing Synetic Theater, may I suggest that now would be a very good time to start?" (Washington Post). Synetic brings new life to classical works in a style that is at once innovative, accessible, and fresh. In addition to its adult repertoire, there is a Family Series (puppetry, mime, and music are all hits with children), and drama and visual arts classes along with outreach programs for underserved kids. Winner of six Helen Hayes Awards in 2008 alone (outstanding director, choreographer, ensemble, supporting actor, sound design, and resident play), this is a young theater on the move. Partners are welcome!
