REINVENTING SOURCE, CuDC’s film on the legacy of Source is now available for viewing online. Just click the "play" icon below. 
Source, at 1835 14th Street NW, has been one of DC’s landmark performing arts spaces for nearly three decades. It’s been a springboard for many of the city’s emerging talents and a home to the arts crusaders who helped revitalize 14th Street in Northwest DC as an arts corridor. Source Theatre Company, along with Studio Theatre and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, pioneered the revitalization of this neighborhood at a time when other investors deemed it unappealing — leading the area’s economic and social resurgence. The DC arts community was therefore outraged early in 2006 upon hearing that the Source property, which closed its doors due to ongoing financial strains on the theatre company, was slated for sale to a local restaurateur. Fearing the irrevocable loss of a precious artistic resource, area artists, patrons and activists rallied together, enlisting CuDC’s help to save Source. Gathering input from performing arts companies, individual artists and theatre patrons, CuDC created a plan to revive Source and re-establish the theatre tradition in this historic DC art space. We officially acquired the property in October 2006 and planning for the theatre’s renovation shortly thereafter.

In January 2008, CuDC began renovations to transform Source into a performing arts space that will serve independent theatre professionals and theatre patrons alike. We are updating and renovating the space to provide administrative, rehearsal and performance space for resident companies and other small- and medium-sized performing arts groups. With the acquisition of Source — a major expansion of CuDC’s activities — CuDC has launched a major capital campaign that will rally a $3.5 million investment in this historic property. We look forward to inviting area residents to the new Source when our work is completed in May and reopening the theatre with the
