Originally, theater productions took place in a 120 seat space at the Norfolk Public Library on Freemason Street. In the mid-1970s, productions were moved to a space under Chrysler Hall.  At that time, the Norfolk Theater Center became the Stage Downunder at Scope.  In a move to develop the organization into a professional theater, the organization's Board of Trustees adopted the name \"Virginia Stage Company\" and began hiring professional staff in 1978.  Planning was aided by the National Foundation for the Expansion and Development of American Theater.  With expansion plans in place, the Virginia Stage Company needed to find a venue for productions.  Out of 49 possible venues, the Norfolk Wells Theater was chosen. With the help of the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, funds were raised for the purchase of the Wells Theater.  In October 1979, the lease was purchased and initial renovations were begun.  The Virginia Stage Company premiered its opening season at the Wells on February 7, 1980.  In 1986, the Wells Theater was fully restored and became a National Historic Landmark.","The Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company. The VSC produces six plays per year running from September through April.  In addition to theater productions, the organization provides educational and community engagement programs including student matinees, in-school tours, workshops, and a summer theater camp.","References:","http://www.vastage.org/","[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company[/url]","Note written by Mel Frizzell"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Virginia Stage Company Records, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Virginia Stage Company Records, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection was processed and the finding aid was created by Mel Frizzell, Special Collections Assistant, from May 2016 to March 2017.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["The collection was processed and the finding aid was created by Mel Frizzell, Special Collections Assistant, from May 2016 to March 2017."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes materials related to the Virginia Stage Company and its predecessors - the Norfolk Theater Center and the Stage Down Under.  Materials include organizational records, correspondence, budgets and financial records, event flyers and programs, personnel and membership records, marketing materials, and news clippings.  Records related to the Wells Theater, the Monroe Building, and other venues and spaces owned or leased by the organization are also included.  Materials date from 1968 to 2014.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"scopecontent_heading_ssm":["Scope and Contents"],"scopecontent_tesim":["The collection includes materials related to the Virginia Stage Company and its predecessors - the Norfolk Theater Center and the Stage Down Under.  Materials include organizational records, correspondence, budgets and financial records, event flyers and programs, personnel and membership records, marketing materials, and news clippings.  Records related to the Wells Theater, the Monroe Building, and other venues and spaces owned or leased by the organization are also included.  Materials date from 1968 to 2014."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBefore publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Conditions Governing Use"],"userestrict_tesim":["Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries."],"abstract_html_tesm":["\u003cabstract id=\"aspace_bc2fd5aff53ac6e30a77ff65500bf224\" label=\"Abstract\"\u003eOriginally founded as the Norfolk Theater Center in 1968 and later renamed in 1978, the Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company.
