I Dream DC

I Dream DC is an arts and civic engagement project inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s world-changing “I Have a Dream” speech, to center Washington, DC in a national conversation about hope, healing, and justice. Aligned with the nation’s 250th Anniversary, I Dream DC will premiere at THEARC (Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus) on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 5PM. 

As the first installment of a new annual production series dedicated to creating theatrical works rooted in community voices, artistic collaboration, and civic engagement, the project invites residents of the Washington metropolitan area to imagine a more just and connected future through storytelling, performance, and collective dialogue.
