Theater 708 is the theater program at KIPP DC College Preparatory (KCP), a Title-I high school in Washington, D.C's Ward 5. The program was founded in 2014 by Caity Schneeman. Doug Phipps & Meg Miraglia developed the program as directors from 2020 to 2023. In 2024, Elena Muzzi assumed leadership. Theater 708 gets its name from the International Thespian Society: KCP is troupe number 8708 in the worldwide organization.
We have produced eight musicals, nine student-directed one-act plays, three Shakespeare plays, August Wilson's Fences, and a variety of additional showcases for students to develop and share their artistic talents.
There's no better way to get a feel for who and what Theater 708 is than see our year 2023-2024 year in review from our most recent National Thespian Induction Ceremony.
