Virginia Theatre Festival's 2025 Season
VTF begins its 51st season by taking audiences on a journey into the woods as beloved fairy tale characters Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and many more spill from the pages of the storybook on to the stage in Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece, Into the Woods.
Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh’s sweet, funny, and deeply moving play The Heart Sellers highlights the experiences of two 20-something immigrant women, one from the Philippines and one from South Korea, who meet, by chance, in a grocery store on Thanksgiving night.
The 2025 VTF season will close on a high note with Get Happy! – A Celebration of the World’s Greatest Entertainer with Jenna Pastuszek. Get Happy! is a dynamic and electric evening of some of the greatest hits and little-known gems from American icon Judy Garland, performed by acclaimed cabaret performer and UVA alumnus Jenna Pastuszek.
