Experience an exciting summer in Washington, D.C. with US Performing Arts, as we celebrate our twelfth year in the nation’s capital. Our DC programs are taught by industry professionals with extensive resumes.

Founded in 1789, Georgetown is the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. Georgetown provides a vibrant arts community with many art, dance, and theatre shows. Steps away from Georgetown’s main drag, you’ll find trendy restaurants and designer shops amidst historic and picturesque gardens, homes, and museums. Nearby neighborhood Foggy Bottom, rich in historical and cultural attractions, is home to the Lisner Auditorium, Watergate Hotel, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Ranked 2nd in Top College Theater Programs Outside of New York, Georgetown offers a major in Theater and Performance Studies. Georgetown students pursuing Theater Studies have participated in performances at the White House, concert tours in Italy and Turkey and served as U.S. Delegates at the UNESCO World Theater Conference.
