The history of theatre in Central Virginia is a living, breathing asset, constantly shaping our present and guiding our future by offering lessons, perspectives, and a foundation for progress. As part of our mission, ATLAS Partnership welcomes the opportunity to breathe new life into initiatives set aside or discontinued by area theatres that still have great potential for positive community impact.
