For patrons with hearing impairments, lightweight headsets are available from House Managers at the Front of House Office before each performance. A photo ID will be required and can be retrieved from a House Manager at the end of the performance upon returning the headset.

A SINGULAR SEASON

There are some very rewarding efforts that come with booking a season following a lengthy hiatus, when artists and patrons alike are deeply yearning for live performances. We are very excited with the lineup we have been able to pull together for Roanoke and all our neighbors. We have up-and-coming powerhouses like Violet Bell, well-revered artists like Loudon Wainwright III, and big names like Punch Brothers filling our halls this year. As you look at our calendar, you’ll see there are a lot of special nights to look forward to.

We can’t wait to share them with you.

Jamie Cheatwood Programming Manager
