Synetic Theater is getting a second act in Crystal City after all.

DCist reported in November that landlord JBG Smith was not going to renew the venerable theater’s lease at 1800 South Bell Street, one of three current buildings slated to be part of Amazon’s HQ2. Now, though, Synetic is getting a reprieve: the developer announced today that the theater company will get a lease extension allowing them to remain in the 12,000-square-foot space through late 2022.

“I’m very pleased,” says co-founder and artistic director Paata Tsikurishvili. “JBG knows how much we contribute to the community and it’s exciting to be in the same building as Amazon. I hope it turns into a long-term relationship or partnership.”

Synetic moved into the decades-old building in 2010 and, over the last few years, tenants have slowly moved out, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency in 2015. With the announcement of Amazon’s move into Arlington, the mostly vacant building became a centerpiece for the first phase of the company’s takeover of National Landing, née Crystal City. This left Synetic Theater—known for its wordless, physical productions—looking for a new home.

“It’s not fun being in limbo,” says Tsikurishvili, “especially when we have to plan and announce our next season.”

However, the community stepped up in support of the theater. Tsikurishvili cites the Crystal City BID and Arlington County for encouraging other stakeholders to reconsider and help them come up with a contingency plan.

JBG declined to give immediate comment on the decision to renew Synetic’s lease, including if Amazon’s impending arrival (or the company’s decision to pull out of its planned campus in New York City) played a role in its decision making.

“A thriving arts scene is a vital component of any successful mixed-use community,” Andrew VanHorn, JBG’s executive vice president said in the press release. “Synetic Theater has been one of National Landing’s leading cultural organizations for nearly a decade, and this agreement ensures that the theater’s work will continue to enrich and inspire the community for years to come.”

While the agreement allows Synetic Theater to remain for another three years, it’s not a permanent solution. Tsikurishvili says he hopes that JBG Smith and Amazon will include the theater in their bigger development plan going forward. In the meantime, Synetic will continue actively looking for a space beyond 2022.

For the time being, though, the theater company is happy to remain in the place they’ve called home for the last eight seasons. Tsikurishvili says he really hopes that new Amazon employees come to check out shows. “We are, literally, in the same building. So, I’ll just go knock on the door and invite them myself.”
