About DC, I Love You
DC, I Love You is the second part of the three-part DC Amplified project, which seeks to gather and uplift community stories within Washington, DC. In this phase, audience members are invited to enjoy an original performance experience where short plays inspired by real love stories are staged throughout the community businesses and neighborhoods where the events would actually take place. Audiences will be led to different locations in a block radius where each new location will reveal another scene in the journey of the play. Discover love, art, and community in a way that’s uniquely DC.
