Source Theatre located at 1835 14th Street, NW via CulturalDC
From CulturalDC:
“By now, you have likely learned that on August 5, 2025, CulturalDC completed the sale of Source to a qualified buyer for $4.5 million. The building, which had been on the market since October 2024, was sold after a competitive and proactive process in which the Board of Directors tirelessly solicited and prioritized bids from nonprofit organizations with the goal of sustaining the space for DC’s arts and cultural community.
Once news of the sale became public, unfortunately, we started to see false and biased reporting, as well as conversations and criticisms expressed on online platforms that cannot be categorized as anything less than vitriol and bullying. Over recent days, the spread of misinformation and actions taken against our organization have become too egregious for leadership to leave unaddressed.

Following a request for corrections, the City Paper has made only minor edits, allowing factual errors; and misleading statements to persist. The very vocal parties serving as unreliable sources with the press – and across social media channels – continue to perpetuate a distorted narrative.
For accuracy, the Board believes it is prudent to clarify the sequence of events leading up to the sale of Source: (more…)
