David recently took a hardhat tour of the new Signature Theater complex being built at Shirlington Village, in the Arlington part of the 45th District.
“I’m happy that the General Assembly has seen fit to support this project with state matching grants,” said David. “Not only do Signature’s nationally-acclaimed performances enrich lives throughout our community and our region, but it delivers $237,000 a year in tax revenue to the state — over and above the direct impact on our area’s economy. That’s a terrific return on investment for all Virginians.”
Through a unique partnership with Arlington County and using funds from a variety of sources, including $275,000 in matching grants from the General Assembly’s non-state agency appropriations, Signature is developing this exciting new home. The complex will feature two black box theatres, expanded facilities for artists, production and education, and ample parking in a community-centered, service-oriented location.
Signature is an award-winning non-profit professional theater dedicated to producing contemporary plays and musicals, reinventing classic musicals, and developing new work. In January, Signature will celebrate the grand opening of this $12.5-million, two-theater complex that will be Shirlington’s cultural and economic anchor.
