Virginia Stage Company

Virginia Stage Company (VSC) is Southeastern Virginia's leading professional theatre, serving more than 35,000 patrons annually, at the historic Wells Theatre in downtown Norfolk and at venues throughout the region. VSC was founded in 1979 by members of the Hampton Roads community who had a deep desire to make live theatre a part of the area’s cultural life. Each season at VSC includes six professional mainstage productions, built from the ground up, featuring professional artists and artisans and from our local area and from across the United States to bring world class theatre to the Hampton Roads region.

OUR MISSION

VSC believes that professional live theatre is a living process that can expand thinking, connect us to one another, and encourage artists and audiences for the future. Our mission is: We make memories together, building community through the extraordinary power of sharing a story.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS & TOURING PRODUCTIONS

Community connection begins with education programs. VSC offers summer camps, in-school workshops, touring shows, and deeply discounted student matinee tickets for schools throughout the region. Each year, thousands of students have their very first professional theatre experience at one of VSC's student matinee performances. 

Through our touring production, Every Brilliant Thing, VSC reduces barriers to access by bringing free, live theatre performances into communities throughout the region. 

ACCESSIBILITY 

VSC believes that theatre should be for everyone. We provide ADA Accessible Seating and Assistive Listening Devices at all mainstage performances. VSC also offers performances with ASL Interpretation, Open Captioning, and Audio Description services. For patrons with sensory differences, VSC adjusts the light and sound and offers designated quiet spaces at Theatre for Everyone performances. VSC is a Kulture City certified Sensory Inclusive venue.
