And what is wrong with working in DC? There is a LOT of theatre going on here....and a HUGE amount of work for freelancers. I've been here since 2000, and since then (depending on how you count) the city has added 2000+ theatre seats.

We (Shakespeare Theatre Company) just added a 775 seat venue
Arena Stage has just started their renovation, adding a performance venue to their other spaces
Signature Theatre moved into a space built for them. They were in a large studio space before
Studio Theatre added another venue
Roundhouse moved out of their old ~200 seat venue, into two new spaces (total seats around 400?)
Woolly Mammoth moved into a new ~300 seat space

So, if you're looking for a place to move....especially if you're just getting out of school, give DC a good hard look. Yes, the cost of living is pretty high here, but there is a lot of work to be had.

Did I mention there's a lot of work?
