​
On May 24, 2020, the Arlington Friends of the Drama made the difficult announcement that we would postpone our 2020-2021 mainstage season.
​
The AFD team hopes to be able to mount one or two smaller scale productions or events in spring 2021. Information about any theatrical events that we are able to present will be announced on this site and on Facebook.
