- Crest Theatre & Environs
The Crest Theatre is located at 1013 K Street,
between 10th and 11th on the K Street Pedestrian Mall. Safe and convenient parking is available
at 10th and L streets (1/2 block from the Crest theatre). This is a city lot and tickets are validated at the Crest Box Office.
The site that the Crest Theatre sits on has housed a theatre since 1912. The first, the Empress, was a vaudeville theatre which opened in 1913. The second, The Hippodrome, was originally a vaudeville house which converted to a motion picture theatre in the late 1920's. In 1946, the Hippodrome interior was demolished and the Crest was built inside the Hippodrome building shell.
Detailed directions are available on the Crest Website. http://www.thecrest.com/
