Experience the magic of classical live music surrounded by glowing lights in one of DC’s most treasured venues: Miracle Theatre. Located on Capitol Hill in the historic Barracks Row neighborhood, the Miracle Theatre is the oldest movie theater in DC. With a storied past and recent renovation, you’ll be dazzled by this historic venue’s glorious interior.
In the early 1960s, the theater was purchased by the People’s Church, and it would remain a church until 2014, when the newly renovated space was reopened as a second-run movie theater once again.
The venue is truly a sight to behold on its own; now, imagine it coming to life with the glow of hundreds of flameless candles.
