A Signature Campus

While you're with us for Overtures you'll be learning, collaborating and training at a couple of different locations all within a stones throw from one another. What follows is some essential information regarding the spaces and how you can utilize them to their full extent while you are with us for the program.

Signature's Education Studios (2784 S. Arlington Mill Dr, Arlington, VA 22206)

This will be the primary space where you will be working during Overtures this summer. 

Watch this video to show you how to reach the Education Studios from Signature Theatre. A map of the Studios location is below, as well as possible parking locations. We recommend parking in the Campbell or Randolph Square Garages next to Signature on the 3rd level or up. (Read the signs.) Parking is free. You are welcome to look for parking at the Surface Parking Lot right by the Studios but parking spaces are often harder to come by there.

At the Studios we have water fountains for hydration needs as well as refrigeration for your meal storage. We also have a microwave should you want to heat anything up. You are welcome to use these as needed. Please respect one another's space and supplies as space is limited. Clearly label your containers so no one ends up taking or consuming anyone else's goodies. During meal breaks we highly encourage you to leave the studios to get some sunshine, stretch you legs and exist outside of the rehearsal room for a bit. You are more than welcome to walk down the street to Signature Theatre to eat in the lobby or out front of the theatre on the Plaza.

The Studios also feature a couple of practice rooms which you are more than welcome to use if they are not currently in use. These spaces have keyboards, music stands and are fairly private should you need a smaller more intimate space to work.

Signature Theatre (4200 Campbell Ave, Arlington VA, 22206)

The MAX Theatre on the 2nd floor of the building is where your showcase on June 20th will take place. You will have some staging rehearsals here before it takes place.
