ABOUT US

HISTORY

The In Series was founded in 1982-83 in Washington, DC, as The Concert Series at Mount Vernon College by Carla Hübner. Under the sponsorship of the College, it soon evolved into a professional presenter of music, dance and performance art, and gradually developed a distinctive profile as a producer of experimental chamber opera (starting 1989), unusual Hispanic Heritage programming (from 1993) and original cabaret/musical revues (starting 1994).

The name In Series had been adopted in 1988-89, inspired by press accolades for intimate settings and innovative programming. By the time the Series’ tenure at the College ended in June, 2000, it had earned a reputation for "bright, innovative productions, unlike anything else available in the Washington area," as expressed by Joseph McLellan, critic emeritus of The Washington Post.

The first Board of Directors of the newly independent The In Series Inc was convened in August 2000, under Terrence (Terry) McDonald, with office space in the Levine School of Music, and venues for performance as available in the area. Since 2008 the Series has its offices and performance home base at Source, having helped to spearhead the community movement that saved the Source building.

As it prepares to celebrate its third completed decade in 2012-13, the In Series’ unique contribution to the cultural arts panorama of the DC metropolitan area is widely recognized. The beautiful spaces of GALA Hispanic Theatre and the Atlas Performing Arts Center as well as Source are home for the Series’ pocket-opera, cabaret/musical theatre, zarzuela (Spanish musical theatre) and Latino culture productions.
