Spooky Action Theater (SAT) is a dynamic, young theater company in Washington, DC. Since 2010 SAT has been located on 16th Street, NW between Dupont Circle and the U Street Corridor. We designed and built a versatile performance space that accommodates multiple seating and staging configurations. Movable walls and audience risers enable us to approach each production with a fresh perspective. We believe a good play imparts a special kind of rapture. Albert Einstein coined the term spooky action at a distance to describe a bit of quantum mechanics even he found incredible: two particles can become entangled such that, forever after, a change in one is matched by instant change in the other, no matter what the distance between them. Spooky action happens when actors provide a bare framework to be fleshed out by the imagination of the audience, creating the world and action of the play. Our Mission Statement: Spooky Action Theater recharges our audience’s imaginative, intuitive, emotional core and rekindles its shared consciousness. It links artists and audience in this collaborative enterprise. The theater offers special rates to encourage students in particular to become active participants in the life of the theater. Spooky Action is committed to being a center for innovation, nurturing emerging artists and providing opportunities for readings and workshops of new work.
