The Miracle Theatre

The Miracle Theatre is the oldest continuously operating movie theater in Washington, DC, with a history stretching back approximately 115 years. Nestled on Barracks Row just 1.5 blocks from the Eastern Market Metro, this single-screen cinema has served Capitol Hill residents through multiple eras of entertainment history.

Revitalized by Union Stage Presents, it now functions as a dual-purpose venue: a beloved second-run movie house and an intimate live performance space hosting concerts, comedy shows, and storytelling events, including the popular 'Candlelight' string quartet series and the DC Moth StorySLAM.
