Due to upcoming renovations to the Wells, the first two shows of Season 38 will be held in two other, convenient Norfolk venues. VSC will hold a "soft reopening" of the Wells Theatre for A Christmas Carol in December, followed by its grand reopening in January with A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams and directed by VSC's own Chris Hanna.

Interviews can be set up with members of the cast, crew, creative team, or staff of VSC. All reviews are welcome and tickets can be provided to anyone who wishes to see the production for these purposes.

Virginia Stage Company is Southeastern Virginia's leading theater destination, serving an audience of over 70,000 annually both at the Wells Theatre and throughout the community. VSC's mission is to "enrich, educate, and entertain the region by creating and producing theatrical art of the highest quality."
