Virginia Rep buys Scottish Rite Temple near Henrico-Richmond line
Table of Contents
Virginia Repertory Theatre formally closed on the purchase of the Scottish Rite Temple this week at 4204 Hermitage Road, just across the Henrico-Richmond line in the city.
The deal had been in the works for months, and now that it’s final, the facility will be known as the Virginia Rep Center for Arts and Education. It will serve as the permanent home for Virginia Rep’s programming for children, families, and schools.
The building features a 650-seat main auditorium and two smaller studio stages. There is rehearsal space for the theatre’s 18 annual tour productions and room to double the number of camps, classes, and workshops that it currently offers.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas will be the first show presented in the new facility. Virginia Rep plans to release details about show dates and times in the near future.
