It’s the first day of fall, and while temperatures may be dropping, we're heating up at Virginia Stage Company. A generous anonymous donor has challenged us to raise $400,000 by December 31, 2016 and will match $1 for every $2 we raise if we reach our goal.

Your donation will help us continue to produce our world-class, main-stage productions right here in Norfolk, as well as all of our educational efforts — including in-school touring productions, theatre camps and workshops, and community outreach initiatives throughout Hampton Roads. With this matching challenge, your gift will spread the joy of live theatre to people of all ages in our region.

update — September 29, 2016

Thanks to your generous contributions, we're almost halfway to our goal! We've raised over $190,000 and are well on our way to completing our Match a Gift Campaign by December 31.
