Saturday’s Events Canceled
Due to the severe rainstorm that moved through Norfolk on Thursday, August 20, the Wells Theatre experienced water coming into the building and onto the stage.
Our team will need the next few days to clean up and make sure the theatre is safe and ready to welcome audiences. As a result, Virginia Stage Company has made the difficult decision to cancel Curtain Up: Community Day at the Wells, scheduled for Saturday, August 22.
