That’s all folks! The Virginia City Players have officially wrapped up for the season! The theater is packed up for the winter, costumes are hung, and props are stowed away. Thank you so much for attending our shows this season! We couldn’t have asked for better audiences this summer. We LOVED performing for you, and at times WITH you! This season almost didn’t happen, and we are so thankful to the incredible support from the Montana Western Foundation as well as the Montana Western Administration. And thank you to our magnificent performers who came near and far to bring this theatre alive! Have a wonderful winter and we hope to see you all next year at the Old Stone Barn Theatre. 🎭 ❤️
