After producing 139 shows over 25 years at Willow Lawn, VaRep has surrendered the space. It was also the home for Barksdale Theatre when it moved from Hanover Tavern in 1996. Where they’re relocating the chidren’s shows will be announced soon. The plan is to combine their camps, tours, children’s shows and the supporting departments in the same space.
The Signature Season will continue in the November Theatre with Cadence Theatre in the Theatre Gym. They’re also planning some special programs at Hanover Tavern this winter.
If you’d like to share a memory about their Children’s Theatre, self tape a video on your phone or write it and email Liz Nance.
Speaking of rumors: We hear that Nathaniel Shaw is working on a new endeavor.
