As the professional summer theatre hosted at the University of Virginia, for over forty-five years, the Virginia Theatre Festival has presented an annual summer festival of musicals, classic works, and new plays for our local Charlottesville, Albemarle, and UVA communities.

Our 2023 season aims to bring together our deep and meaningful past as the UVA professional summer theatre together with our vision for the future. A future where our doors are open to all community members and our work serves as an example to our patrons and our industry of how live theatre can both be presented ethically and inclusively and serve as a catalyst for important conversations and change.
