I have been here for 2 performances, one in particular exceptional and unique, “The Tempest” by Shakespeare. Dark, mysterious and dramatic all perform in a 10” or so water stage. My favorites were the sorcerers, Ariel and demon, was an epic well train battle, which require hours of practice, the prompts, background and indumentaria were realistic and well done. As well saw “Snow Queen” very very good. Congrats guys for all that effort that pays back, will be memories never forgotten.

I just watched The Tempest at Synetic Theatre. The mind-blowing tech combined with the stunning acting created an amazing experience. I will definitely return to see more performances.

A really cool and interesting independent theater right in my backyard and a hop and a skip from the Crystal City Metro stop. Highly recommend it for fans of the arts, young artists, and anyone else who wants to stop by!

Great place, lots to choose from from.

Easily the best kept secret in the DC metro area. Probably the best theater in the DC area. Famous for their amazing sets, kinetic dance, Avant garde productions, and intimate seating, a Synetic Theater production is not to be missed. Try a silent Shakespeare -- a company speciality -- or one of their other numerous adaptations such as the reimagined Phantom of the Opera. Guaranteed to overwhelm the senses!!

Synetic Theater is amazing. Their performances of plays are performed, not with speech, but through dance. Their evocative movements and faces convey meaning and completely immerse you in the world they have created. I just saw The Tempest which they perform on a water-covered stage, so that sprays of water dance with them, and my breath was taken away! A must see!

I wasnt sure what to expect going into the experience, but it was phenomenal! Movement without words, dancing, and facial expressions paired with music set the stage for an excellent rendition of Phantom of the Opera. Their performers excel at conveying their emotions without words. Their scene with the break down was spectacularly done.I went with a friend who was skeptical going in, and raving about it as we came out. I left skipping and full of dance energy. 11/10 would recommend.

Beautiful performance of Phantom of the Opera! You can park in the deck and walk indoors in the Crystal City Mall to many dinner options. Will be back!

This is from someone who seldom attend plays, Im hooked on this company. Their take on plays is absolutely mesmerizing. Its members really relay the emotions with no words. Im always waiting for the next play tp be available.

The dance interpretations of shows here are so cool! The dance talent is incredible. Im usually way less engaged in dance-only productions.

Phantom of the Opera was absolutely beautiful and the theater was a hidden gem that I will be visiting more often.

There is NOTHING like this theater anywhere in the World! Im a homeschool mom of six and we travel from Raleigh to DC just to see their performances.! My kids are pretty versed in all things Shakespeare and theater in general. Who would have thought that Shakespeare could be be speechless? Our first visit was for Alice and Wonderland, since then we have been pretty committed to making all of the shows unless we are traveling outside of the country. These performances are ALWAYS a highlight of our education and learning. I just recently brought a visiting friend from Barcelona with us, I told him, youll leave with your jaw literally on the ground... He was thrilled!!!!!On the car ride home everyone argues over which performance has been their favorite. I dont know why we continue this debate because an hour later we are all exhausted and surrender knowing ALL are our favorites, and how can anyone attempt to choose!? Each spectacular and independently marvelous!!!!!Thank you x a million for this marvelous gem!

Synetic is one the most original theater companys I have ever seen. Be prepared to be amazed. If you go see their production of The Tempest and are sitting the front rows... be prepared to get soaked, literally.

Very interesting place to bring your kids or go by yourself or with friends

Parking is free in there garage after four, it is around the front of the building. We were in row G108 and G109 and the view was great we went on a Wednesday which wasnt very crowded at all. We saw sleepy Hallow and it was awesome. There were a couple scenes that were so artistic and creative it left me stunned. Recommend for sure.

A fabulous performance of the Tempest. Irina Tsikurishvili is once again wonderful!

I went to Synetic Theater to see Phantom of the Opera. I wasnt sure what to expect, but was really impressed by the high quality production and creative sorry telling.

4th visit...always a wonderful production.

An experience. They emphasize storytelling through interpretive dance, with very limited dialogue. We saw a cyberpunk interpretation of Richard III, and it was more effective than I expected.

Always a great experience. Actors and performances are top notch. Have been here maybe 10 times over the past few years and have never had a bad experience. My favorite ones were Midsummer Nights Dream, Jekyll and Hyde and one I cant remember the name of but there was a piano and lots of water! We also saw the kids performance Hansel and Gretel which was absolutely incredible. I really cannot say enough good things about this theater gem.

This theatre tells stories through movement, lights, music, dancing, humor, and dramatic imagery. Its unique and incredible.

Not your standard plays, because their is rarely any dialogue. Comfy seats. Theater is kind of warehouse like, but doesnt diminish from the performances. Could be hard to find for some people because its down below in Crystal City shops.

I love this theater and try dont miss any shows. The cast is amazing. The choreography of dances and fights is super! Sad they have to move somewhere. I think the current place will became Amazon HQ

Contemporary presentation of a tragic tale. The choreography, talent, skills and integration of music, movement, costume and technology were enhanced by the staging. BRAVO

If you have an appreciation for the efforts it requires to be an artist, you need to see one of this groups plays. Its quite a different experience than a traditional play; theres no speach at all, but instead the small group makes the stage come alive by silently reacting to each other and the very-alive soundtrack.

Great little theater! So great to have family friendly theater. All ages performance of My Fathers Dragon was great! Costumes and puppets were genius.

Love all the actors. Never have seen any other group with such flexibility and emotion.

Hadnt planned on making this part of our DC trip experience but saw the signs underground while going to and from the Metro and so glad we did. They were so friendly and inviting. Saw Sleepy Hollow and was amazed by the storytelling that was so well done without any words. We rave about the play as one of our highlights of the trip. It really is a must do while in DC.

Innovative and dazzling! I see plays I know in a whole new way.

Great theater company. Unfortunately losing their lease and looking for new venue. Last chance to see them in this location.

Good but had no clue what happend in the show

Saw the Tempest. Great production in a pool of water.

The most unique,creative and delightful theatre troupe. See classic stories retold and adapted in ways you will not believe.

Their rendition of Phantom of the Opera was amazing

Great physicality and innovation are the trademark of this theater

Innovative theater telling classic stories through movement, often without words. Ive seen a few productions here, most were good, some were spectacular, and there was one put me to sleep (literally). I keep on going. The hits outweigh the occasional dud.

Great! Recommend to attend

Tempest performed in water without words! Amazing and beautiful!!!

Wow! Never disappoints. Seen a half-dozen performances. Shakespeare without words sounds weird, I know, but its actually amazing. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing show!

Outstanding Richard performance especially for this traditional shakespetian acolyte

Seen a number of shows here... The seats have leg room, which is fantastic. The sound is emersive, I felt like it was surround sound. The silent Shakespeare productions are phenomenal!

What a wonderful theater I discovered a year ago! I watched King Lear and many other performances produced by the Synetic Theater Co. and was absolutely stunned by deeply expressive way and originality of their performance. Those were ones of the most impressive plays Ive ever seen in my life. From the very first show Ive tried to see all of their performances and was impressed with all of them. Id like to encourage all theater fans to pay close attention to this company. Such innovation and creativity should be appreciated more by the public who loves Theater. GO and see for yourself or you will be missing something VERY VERY TALENTED.Thank you Synetic Theater!!! And BRAVO!!!!

An Avant garde movement company dedicated to reinterpreting classic plays. Extremely creative, unique music, splendid choreography. Always worth a visit.

It was hard to find this place and the parking. But it was a nice theater.

The best theater company in the DC area! Their style is unique and must be seen to be believed.

Great modern theatre, go there quite often

Very fun production

Washington DC has no shortage of great theater. However one of the real treats in the area is going to Synetic Theater. The theater is run by a couple from Georgia. Irina and Paata Tsikurishvili and their incredibly loyal and dedicated acting company. Many of their productions are done as silent Shakespeare but don’t let that fool you, the music, the movement, the action all arranged by Paata and Irina are fantastic.

Very artistic and interesting. Im not even a fan of theater and I was captivated.

I worked for the theater for a day helping them move supplies because water damage in or around the stage. I was never compensated or contacted for my work and the friend that I got the job from was told that they didnt have any money to pay me. I filled out tax forms and was told I would be payed the following month on the first. Never happened. DO NOT SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE. Wish i could give zero stars.

Absolutely amazing experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to have an amazing and unique experience in the district! I saw The Three Musketeers and The Picture of Dorian Gray and both blew my mind.

First off let me state this was my first visit. I went to see the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Excellent play, though if you are looking for dialogue dont go. They use music, lighting, and action to tell the story. There were a couple of grunts during the fight scenes but that was about it. Nice place and just a few minutes from the crystal City metro stop.

Excellent theatre with great/ unique shows. Definitely something different to do for the family or a date. I have yet to see a bad performance.

Very compelling performance of The man in the iron mask. Was a little unusual for this place as there was lots of talking but some scenes were silent. The show was the afternoon following the Orlando shooting and the co-owner delivered an emotional plea for their usual post- show donation collections (theater is run by donations) to be directed to the victims and families instead.

This theater company is the best kept secret in DC. Hidden in the tunnels of Crystal City resides easily one of the best performing arts companies in the metro area.Synetic have proven time and time again that fine art does not have to be boring or stodgy, and can be absolutely electric, alive, and often sexy. That plays without a single word spoken can make for incredible theater. Between their composer bringing cutting edge music live that ranges from classical to experimental, and the beautiful and often surreal sets and costumes, nothing disappoints. However, what really stands out is the extremely expressive mix of dance and acting from this company.This is easily one of the best companies in the US. A hidden jewel in the DC metro area.I have seen Romeo and Juliet, and Jekyl and Hyde. Both were awe inspiring.

Really beautifully done. Truly an awesome experience.

Really unique theater and enjoy every visit.

Highly innovative and entertaining

Fantastic performance and a brilliant interpretation, accessible even if you werent familiar with the original story.

Wow, I love it...music, light & performance

First time there, had a great time, great show
