Woolly Mammoth breaks with convention in terms of its approach to theatre -- both in content and presentation. It has been recognized by the Washington Post as the "hottest theatre company in town."It was established 29 years ago in Washington, D.C. by one of its founders and still active Artistic Director Howard Shalwitz. It is housed in a new and beautifully renovated building in the vibrant theatre district downtown. Its mission is to forge the future of the art form rather than just preserving its past.
