DC, I Love You is an immersive performance experience that brings real love stories to life across the neighborhoods where they originated. Short plays are staged in local businesses and community spots, with each new location revealing a new chapter in a truthfully inspired romcom adventure. Join us for an exclusive workshop with the Reading Room Festival, offering a first look at one of the original DC, I Love You scripts, set to premiere this spring. Discover love, art, and community in a way that’s uniquely DC.
About DC, I Love You and DC Amplified
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.
