Top National Performing Arts in District of Columbia

Definitely grab tickets in advance online to save some cash. I saved about 20% this way compared to buying at the door.

Plan to arrive around 30 minutes early to check out the art installations in the hall. The exhibits might surprise you and are often overlooked.

Check the calendar for free events or performances; I caught a fantastic free concert that I didn't know about until I checked the website before going.

If you're planning to see a performance, bring your own snacks! The food options there can be pricey, and having a snack saved me from spending a lot.
