The Sound of Music, America's most beloved musical;,
39 Steps,  a comedy thriller where Hitchcock meets the hilarious, and
Seussical the Musical!, a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza featuring all your favorite Dr. Seuss characters!

More information about tickets, auditions, and making donations can be found here.

Join the Town of Halifax on Friday night, July 30, from 6-9pm for Friday Night Jams at the Halifax Farmers Market.

Bring your lawn chairs for lots of fun!

Sometimes we native Virginians are so used to our rich history that we forget that everyone else isn't familiar with all aspects; my son & daughter were born in Florida and were teens and tweens when we moved here, and many times I find myself mistakenly taking for granted that they know certain things about my native state - recent case in point, traditional Christmas decorations. 

Last week Erin and I drove past John Fulton's B&B and she remarked about how pretty the Christmas decorations incorporating fruit were; it hit me that she didn't realize the place in our history that these decorations have, and that she had never seen Williamsburg  - much less decorated for Christmas.  I realized that when she returns to Los Angeles she may never get the chance to visit Williamsburg at Christmas, so a couple of days later we took a spontaneous day trip over to enjoy the decorations and share a little of our state and country's history.
