Join us for the Summer 2026 Student Showcase - Laughing Matters!
Free
Laughing really does matter. It gets us through the everyday moments of our lives, working, commuting, lingering at a café, trying to write the next great American drama, or taking a trip with friends. And sometimes, without warning, those ordinary moments can turn into comedy, when plans go sideways, people surprise us, and the familiar becomes wonderfully absurd. Join us for this collection of short comedies with unexpected situations, relatable characters, and plenty of laughs. Because life is funny, and sometimes we all deserve to laugh about it.

The Schedule:
Today - Thursday 8/27 - 1:00 pm
Friday 8/28 - 7:30 pm
Saturday 8/29 - 3:00 & 7:00 pm

Banned and pushed underground during the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, Václav Havel’s plays survived in whispers until the Velvet Revolution brought them back into the light. Today, they stand as masterworks of the theatre of the absurd, studied and performed across the world.

Join us for our student showcase of Largo Desolato which tells the story of Leopold Nettles, a philosopher facing pressure from a totalitarian state for his writings, and explores the internal and external struggles of a political dissident.
April 24 - 7:30 pm
April 25 - 2:00 & 7:00 pm
202.333.2202 for reservations

There is no better time than now to discover Havel. His voice cuts through noise, questions authority, and invites us to examine our own courage and complicity.
