Theatre Washington returns to the The Wharf's Transit Pier to make waves with musical theatre showstoppers from a dozen of the #dctheatre season’s productions. The banks of the Potomac will hum with songs from Jersey Boys (Toby’s Dinner Theatre), In the Heights (Signature Theatre), Frozen (Olney Theatre Center), and more! This year’s free City on the River Concert will feature 15 DC-area theatre artists who will spend the afternoon showing off highlights from the season’s biggest musicals. And you can be part of the fun – come tell your theatre story at our pre-show interactive performance piece: Our Living Room! 

Come Play on the Potomac

The Wharf is your launchpad for all kinds of water activities—from leisure cruises and kayak tours to sailing lessons and paddleboarding, the Southwest Waterfront makes it easy to play on the river. Plus, our water taxi might just be the fastest way to get to Georgetown, Old Town Alexandria, or National Harbor.
