Maestro David “Santa” Wiley and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Chorus return to Martinsville for the third year with their magical Holiday Pops Spectacular. Over 100 musicians and singers bring the spirit of the season to our community, and Grace Network will again be collecting canned goods before the show to stock their pantry for those less fortunate.
There’s magic, and then there’s Spencer’s Theatre of Illusion. By combining original theatrical elements with cutting-edge illusions, special effects, music, and stagecraft, the Spencer’s have elevated the age-old art of magic into the realm of inspired awe. From defying the laws of gravity to an escape from a water-filled container like the legendary Houdini, this show will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Montana Repertory, one of the outstanding touring companies today, will present the stage adaptation of “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Harper Lee’s classic tale of dignity, tolerance, and unequal justice in a small 1950’s town. This performance is a part of Piedmont Arts’ The Big Read, a project sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute of Museum and Library Science.
This performance may be inappropriate for young children.
