Hear from the Artists Your Gift Directly Impacts

Jeffrey A Haddock is a teaching artist at Virginia Stage and was recently seen as Bilbo in our production of The Hobbit (2022). His work with Governor’s School Students, Young Artists, and on stage is supported by the meals and transportation assistance we provide to the young artists he teaches.

Bart Mather is a New York based artist who rocked our stage in his dazzling performance in the ensemble of Fun Home and Secret Garden. Thanks to the generous support of donors like yourselves, actors like Bart get to join our community and bring their talent, views, and energies to our family here at VSC.

Leila Stephanie is a teaching artist with Virginia Stage Company and most recently performed in the premier of The Earth Remembers as Mama E. She is a wonderful spirit, whose work with students from grades K-12 is impactful and a true joy to watch. It’s thanks to the funds that get students to our student matinees that Leila is able to help open young minds and hearts to the magic of theatre for every show.

How Far Does Your Gift Go?

This year, we ask you to think about every facet of theatre that your contribution supports. From the actors on stage, to the arts administrators and scene shop workers who build some of the most inspiring and unforgettable sets Hampton Roads ever sees. Every screw, every plank, every hour of rehearsal is curated by home grown artists and arts workers…nothing shipped in, nothing outsourced, all of the work crafted by hand by Hampton Roads community members who love to bring you life-changing theatre every day.

We ask this year, as you look at our ambitious goal, you will consider how far a dollar goes to support all of the things our hands can’t bring you…travel costs, meals, busses for students, all of these things need your support to happen. This support goes tremendously far in making sure Virginia Stage Company, your Jewel of Downtown Norfolk, can continue to be a lead player in the arts scene of Hampton Roads.
