Celebrating 17 Years of David Muse

Studio Theatre's 2027 Annual Benefit

Join us, Monday, April 19, 2027 as we celebrate David’s extraordinary tenure—and prepare to say goodbye to the artistic leader who has, for 17 years, carried on Studio’s artistic vision, championed bold new voices, and made an indelible mark on Washington’s theatre community.

We’re thrilled to announce that the evening will be hosted by the iconic Holly Twyford, one of DC’s most beloved performers. Holly and a familiar cast of Studio favorites will take the stage for live performances featuring some of David’s most memorable Studio moments.

It’s a celebration, a nostalgic look back, and one very special evening. Save the date—we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Sponsorships are available now. Single tickets go on sale in January.
