Announcing Mistletoe Market 2023!

Virginia Stage Company is proud to partner with local artists, artisans, and crafters for its second Seasonal Mistletoe Market to be held prior to Norfolk’s Grand Illumination Parade. The market will feature local artists, artisans, and crafters selling their handmade goods, as well as a bar with warm drinks and snacks, photos with Santa, and children's activities.

The Wells Theatre is downtown Norfolk’s hidden gem–a National Historic building with the original, ornate decoration that is still visible today.

Holiday favorite The Doorway Singers will be caroling down Tazewell and Granby, making their way to and from the Wells.

Come downtown early to grab a good parking spot and to enjoy our local artisan market. No tickets required for entry. If you’re lucky you’ll catch a glimpse of one of our most Infamous Holiday Spirits…The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come!

"Speakeasy at The Wells" Was an Uproariously Good Time!

The Wells Theatre was transformed into an exciting and roaring 20’s themed Speakeasy for Virginia Stage Company’s 44th Annual Gala! Celebrating the incredible work, art, and beauty VSC brings to the Hampton Roads area year after year.

More than 150 people were in attendance to enjoy the libations, dance, laugh, and have an incredible time while exploring the theatre in an exciting new way. Hidden doors, secret hallways, and exploration of The Wells’ hidden gems brought a new kind of spirit to the Speakeasy Gala!

In addition to recognizing the amazing work and creativity of VSC the theatre company and board had the distinct pleasure of honoring Sandy Harris III; one of the founding board members and the current founding board president of Virginia Stage Company.

A very special thank you to Capital Group for sponsoring this wonderful event, and to the incredible Gala Committee. The incredible dinner was provided by Chef by Design, spotlight performances from incredible local Hampton Roads talent (such as Greg Dragas, Jordan Setzer, Ryan Clemens, Sam Flint, and more), and all hosted by our wonderful Emcee and Auctioneer, Blaine Stewart of WTKR.
