“I am honored to participate. MetroStage is a beacon of creativity, artistry, and excellence, whose works mirror, and often anticipate, our changing times. MetroStage brings us together; let us celebrate the company's achievement by contributing to the new stage in Alexandria for ourselves and for generations to come.” Kathleen Baker

"Designing a theater is one of the most exciting and rewarding commissions an architect can receive. To shape a space where stories are brought to life, where audiences and actors share in powerful, intimate experiences—that’s a rare and special opportunity. For me, as someone who deeply values the performing arts, this project represents the perfect blend of passion and purpose. MetroStage is an institution that challenges and inspires, and we aim to create a space that does the same." Michael Winstanley

Winstanley Architects is completing the final phase of the design of the new theatre. The original design by Lessard Design and Skip Maginniss is being completed and prepared for permitting and construction by Michael Winstanley and Leejung Hong.

Further enhancements, amenities, and exciting design elements are being added so the new theatre will truly be a showplace as an Arts Anchor and a central feature of the Arts and Cultural District in Old Town North.

Fundraising continues while the design is being completed. We welcome checks large and small and appreciate the enthusiasm and support of our many hundreds of contributors. Everyone can help us complete this final phase, build out the interior of the theatre, and open in the fall of 2026. We are happy to offer tours and more information. Just email info@metrostage.org or call 703-548-9044 or 703-309-0580.
