Performance Season Update

We share Wolf Trap Foundation’s heavy hearts in sharing that Filene Center and Children’s Theatre in the Woods May-September performances have been canceled. The National Park Service and Wolf Trap Foundation have worked together since 1968 to provide performing arts and education at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, and we look forward to celebrating the Filene Center’s 50th anniversary season in 2021.

Until then, we will work with the Foundation to find creative ways to bring the arts to you and to make next year’s big anniversary extra special. We invite you to visit the park to take a hike, birdwatch and enjoy the great outdoors. During these times, as always, people’s health and safety are our highest priority.
