Virginia Repertory Theatre
Virginia Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company based in Richmond, Virginia. It was created in 2012 when Barksdale Theatre and Theatre IV, which had shared one staff for over a decade, merged to become one company.[1][2] The theatre presents seasons at the November Theatre (formerly the Empire Theatre) and Theatre Gym at Virginia Rep Center, as well as productions at the Hanover Tavern and The Children's Theatre in The Shops at Willow Lawn. It is currently run under the leadership of Artistic Director Bruce Miller and Managing Director Phil Whiteway.[3]
In 2012, Sara Belle and Neil November made a $2 million gift for restoration, and the Empire Theatre was renamed the Sara Belle and Neil November Theatre.[4]
Bruce Miller, the longtime Artistic Director, announced in 2015 that he would retire at the end of the 2015/2016 season. His predecessor is Nathaniel Shaw from New York, who's Broadway credits include being the associate choreographer for "Once." Miller's new title will be Founding Producer, and he continues to focus his efforts on education and fundraising.[5]
