DAR Constitution Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DAR Constitution Hall is a concert hall located at 1776 D St. NW, Washington, D.C. just in front of the Department of the Interior and near the White House. It was built in 1929 by the Daughters of the American Revolution, which still owns the theater. It seats 3,974–2,494 on risers and 1,480 on the floor. Additional seating is located on 52 boxes separating the floor from the risers.
It is used for concerts, touring Broadway shows, family shows, and the Washington edition of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. It was the location where Eddie Murphy Delirious was filmed in 1983.
Every U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge has attended at least one event at the theater.
