The National Theatre opened in 1835. Every person who has served as President of the United States has attended performances here, earning the playhouse the revered title: "Theatre of Presidents." The historic playhouse has seen Pennsylvania Avenue grow from the muddy main street of a fledgling capital to the ceremonial avenue of a great world power.

The National has presented first-class touring productions continuously longer than any other theatre in America.
