The Cause: We Through Theatre

For five years, Silver Line Theatre Exchange has been shaping Staunton’s cultural landscape through theatre.

  • We’ve brought people together through theatre — transforming an abandoned warehouse into a vibrant hub anchoring a growing cluster of local businesses.

  • We’ve grown Staunton’s cultural scene through theatre — adding a professional summer show, a movement studio, and year-round programming that draw visitors and locals alike.

  • We’ve created pride of place through theatre — offering performances, camps, and classes that make Staunton a community where the arts thrive and people want to live.

Now, for our fifth anniversary gala, we invite you to join us under the banner of Nordic Nights. The Nordic idea of the long night is not about darkness, but rather what happens when people draw close: sharing drink, telling stories, finding warmth in one another. Because of our community's generosity, that’s what Silver Line has become — a place where students embark on an education in empathy, discipline, and creativity; where artists find meaningful work close to home; and where audiences experience professional theatre right next door.

Raise a glass, enjoy performances, Nordic-inspired food and drink, and celebrate the magic that happens when we come together through theatre. Your ticket, your sponsorship, and your presence fuel what we can do next — for our artists, our students, and our town.
