Arena Stage's grand makeover

Arena Stage is getting a huge makeover while the shows do go on at their temporary stage in Crystal City. Perched on the corner of M, Maine, and 6th Street, the new complex sports a unique and contemporary plan and will surely be a centerpiece for any future development of the Waterfront.

A long time SW resident told me that this is the best show that Arena Stage has ever put on!

Here are some photos that I took, and the project renderings from Bing Thom Architect's website.
