The Studio Theatre is a non-profit theater production company located in the 14th Street corridor of Washington, D.C.

In 1988, the Studio Theatre started its "2nd Stage" production series to provide opportunities for emerging and established local and national artists to share their talents.

[1] Studio Theatre contains three main venues: the Metheny, the Mead, and the Milton.

They were designed by co-founder Russell Metheny "to foster an intimate connection between actor and audience".

[2] The fourth venue, Stage 4, is a flexible black box theater, used primarily for the former Studio 2ndStage and most recently Studio X. Washingtonian magazine, as part of its 50th anniversary commemoration, identified the Studio Theatre's move into its current space at 14th and P streets as one of "50 Moments That Shaped Washington, DC".
