Top Performing arts theaters in Bethesda, United States

It felt like a very real privilege to be an audience member watching a performance of The Seafarer: like being invited and silently involved in the unfolding drama of the characters' living room.

Great venue. Had a drink & appetizer at the bar. The show was great and the seats were comfortable. I will go back.

What a great theater! I didn't know theaters that were so kid friendly existed. I live in Northern VA, and it only took 45 minutes to get there. I will forever be in awe of everything that goes into creating the magic of a play. The performers were incredible. I can't wait to go back.

Round House is one of the region's many outstanding nonprofit professional theaters, and the best in Montgomery County. They produce an increasingly ambitious mix of dramas, comedies, and musicals each season, and the productions are increasingly world class. It is really worth it to subscribe, because it's important to support nonprofit theater, because the benefits of being a subscriber are great, and because you will be thrilled that you did!

Seriously, it makes no sense that people pay crazy high prices to drive downtown to see a touring Broadway show in a place like the cavernous 2,000-seat Kennedy Center Opera House, with the production's 15th cast, when you can see often superior original productions in this intimate space where you really are immersed in the action.

Can you please stop having your school buses block the entrance to our parking lot next door? I've asked numerous times and don't what else to do.

Frog and Toad was fantastic—the whole family enjoyed it. The actors really embodied the characters and it was wonderful to see these favorite stories brought to life. Grateful to have caught the show. My kids enjoy playing with their Frog and Toad stuffies and have created many new stories with them.

I had such a wonderful evening watching the production of The Mountaintop at the Round House Theatre.

I arrived 45mins before the start of the show and enjoyed pre-show drinks that were crafted especially for the production. This included not only the cocktails being named from themes stemming from the play, but also liquors that were popular during that time period.

The theatre is ideally located in central Bethesda and I really enjoyed the intimacy of the actual auditorium itself. The production was amazing and I really look forward to visiting the Round House Theatre again.

My six year old went to see Frog and Toad and it was funny, entertaining and the acting/singing was superb! Only $9 per ticket. The theater does run cold as actors get sweaty on stage. The show did start about 5-6 min late and lasted an hour. Younger and older children were present and they all seem engaged. Definitely a must visit! I would even see it again!

Very beautiful and comfortable theatre. My first visit for The Mountaintop show. It was an amazing stage performance. Take a look at their schedule of events and pay them a visit.

Excellent evening. Theatre has a great atmosphere. All seats are very good - this night the play “INK” was outstanding.

Great cast and performance of August Wilson's "Radio Golf." I led a group of honors students on a study tour to Washington DC and the play at Roundhouse Theatre was one of our main attractions. Bravo to the cast and thanks for a lovely ambiance at the Roundhouse Theatre!

My son has done two camps at The Roundhouse theater. One when he was in fifth grade and one when he was in sixth. Both were tremendous! The staff is so patient and energetic and kind, and he had a tremendous time both years.

All seats are good seats. Ushers very considerate while seating latecomers. Great performances.

Recently tried to use the Two for Tuesdays special to see Radio Golf but the website didn't cooperate and we were unable to get tickets.

While I appreciate the rhetoric around making theatre accessible to the community, it is important for institutions like this to actually follow through.

Such a wonderful atmosphere. Love this venue. It's so comfortable and relaxing. Easy to get to and parking is a breeze. Parking is a stones throw away.

My family and I attended the Radio Golf Play at the Round House Theatre. We enjoyed the theatre and performace. We will come back again for another performance. Very nice theatre and broadway performance. Parking was easy to find and we enjoyed the bar and cafe.

The programs are all so inclusive and everyone is really nice! Imagination Stage brought such a warm welcome to the drama community for me and I was so honored to be part of it.

I took my 4-year-old son and niece to Corduroy at Imagination Stage and we all had a magical time. The room is the perfect size so the kids felt like they were in a special show ad could really see because they sat close to the stage. The spin on this Corduroy story was so clever and imaginative and the set design and special effects were — according to my son — magical. We especially loved the tower of toilet paper and remote control vacuum. We will definitely be back for more shows this year!

A nice venue with multiple theaters and studios. Would love some more nutritionally balanced food options. There is a sweets shop inside.

My kids had a great time, though the Eric Carle performance was more story time than dramatization.
