Hexagon is a non-profit organization billing itself as " Washington's only original political, satirical, musical, comedy revue." Since 1955, it has produced an annual show that parodies local, national and international political and social issues. Performances were previously held at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington and are currently located at the Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center in Silver Spring. Beginning in 2015, the show will return to Washington at Woodrow Wilson High School.
All Hexagon performers and staff are volunteers, including local celebrities who make cameo appearances. Ticket sales are donated to a charity selected each year. Recent recipients have included Sarah's Circle, the ALS Association, Hospice Caring, and the Wounded Warrior Project. Hexagon is supported by the affiliated Friends of Hexagon. As of 2014, Hexagon had raised over $3.5 million for charity.
Hexagon has received recognition for its work in the Washington community. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan presented Hexagon with the President's Volunteer Action Award for service. In 1993, Washingtonian magazine selected Hexagon as "Washingtonian of the Year," the first time an organization was named as the award's recipient.

Hexagon is a subdivision modeler owned by DAZ 3D. It was originally developed and published by Eovia and was acquired shortly before the release of version 2.0 by DAZ in 2006. The software drew heavily on Eovia's other modeler, Amapi (it shared the same developers), though it omitted the NURBs and precision measuring tools. The main focus is Subdivision modeling but it includes Spline tools and surface tools. Because of the two omissions, it is not as well suited to product design as Amapi, but is aimed more at illustrative and character modeling with an eye to making it accessible for those new to working in 3D.
Version 2.0 saw the addition of UV unwrapping tools and a selection of 3D painting tools were added, though these are still quite basic and do not include layers. Also added was the facility to paint in displacement - or "3D sculpting", which makes Hexagon particularly well suited for organic modeling. All of this can now be previewed within Hexagon using its new Ambient Occlusion.
Hexagon continues to be developed under DAZ's ownership with version 2.2 released in June 2007, and version 2.5 released in March 2008. In August, 2011 version 2.5.1 was released.
