Went with friends and small children to see Robin Hood - great interactive fun, kids encouraged to get involved with the 'players' and scenes. Small theater, so book tickets (online) or get their early. Definitely recommend

ESP is a small community theatre located in the Herndon/Reston area. I've been a season subscriber for several years and have enjoyed every performance. As the management likes to boast, it costs less to subscribe to ESP for a season than it costs to go to one Kennedy Center performance. And given the small, intimate size of the ESP theatre,... More

Thank you very much for your review! As you pointed out, we're very much looking forward to our upcoming expansion into "NextStop Theatre Company", the first major professional theatre company serving the entire Dulles Technology Corridor. However, please note--we will very much remain the same NON-PROFIT 501(c)3 Organization. Ticket sales cover only a portion of our operating costs, and we... More

This theater and the play is like a pure diamond so brilliant and flawless!!! I was moved far beyong my expectations.

We have been season subscribers for years. Elden Street is innovative in its offerings, and it is not afraid to take risks. The layout of the theatre is excellent--not a bad seat in the house. Parking can be cramped, but it is FREE. The ticket prices (especially for a season) are excellent.

The theater is located in a warehouse in an industrial park off of Elden Street in Herndon. Seating is comfortable and for about 200, making for a closeness to the stage that escapes larger venues. We saw 'Hamlet' which is a major undertaking for larger theaters, let alone one this size. There is an opportunity for purchasing drinks and snacks... More

I had been looking for a place where I could expose my children to theater arts without paying the high prices associated with more well known theaters like Wolf Trap or the Kennedy Center. I found this theater, located less than 5 miles from my home in an Industrial Park. The tickets are less than it costs to go to... More

The Elden Street players put on 5 plays each season (October through August) including at least one musical. They do an outstanding job with the productions and have won many awards for local theatrical productions. The space in the Industrial Strength Theater is limited both in terms of number of seats available per performance and stage space. They do a... More

Thanks for your review! We love pushing the envelope of what is possible to produce in our "intentionally small" (but comfortable) space. Over the years, people have told our directors and producers, "You can't fit that show in THERE!" and we delight in proving them wrong every time! More

I just returned from an incredible production of Flowers for Algernon by the Elden Street Players. The lead who played Charley was amazing, and depicted the changes in Charley as he becomes a highly intelligent individual and then returns to his original state. Also, several of the supporting actors were super (Mrs. Mooney, Mrs. Gordon) One can quickly forget that... More
