About Me

3Word Productions supports underserved and underrepresented queer, transgendered and women artists with integrity and style. We accomplish this through unique small venue performances, advertising and promotion in the DC metro area. 3Word Productions seeks to pay these artists well for their work while providing a supportive and creative environment for both artists and audiences. By keeping our production scale efficient and homegrown we are able to provide a financial scenario that gives the artist a better profit margin than commercial venues.
