For the fourth consecutive year, BRCC welcomes local favorites Shenandoah Cabaret back as their Hunger Symposium headliner. Featuring five outstanding singer-actors anchored by pianist Kemper McCauley, they showcase musical theater - both classic and contemporary - from composers like Stephen Sondheim, Jonathan Larson, and Jason Robert Brown. Additionally, they interpret the popular music of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Duke Ellington, Sweet Honey in the Rock, and Alanis Morrisette. Returning to the stage are drummer Chris Cole and bassist Jack Layne, and appearing for the first time with ShenCab are guitarist Eric Hedrick and cellist Isaiah Ortiz. An a capella number, original mashup arrangements, and more will make this a cabaret to remember. ALL TICKET PROCEEDS will be donations in support of Blue Ridge Area Food Bank - get your tickets here!

Poet Seamus Heaney’s adaptation of Sophocles "Antigone" offers a fresh perspective on the tragedy's classic themes of state power, conscience, and the dignity of the dead. Through beautifully spare and haunting Irish verse, the unstoppable collision of family loyalty and civic law are brought into an emotionally charged focus, from initial defiance to devastating aftermath.

Created and directed by Byron Jones, this year’s Opera Up Close presents O Music of the Powers!, an evening of songs, arias and spoken text examining the themes of love, loss and the transformative power of music. Check website for accurate times and details.

The Shenandoah Valley Art Center’s featured exhibit at the Virginia Ross Invitational Gallery is IMPRINT: Contemporary Explorations in Printmaking. This juried exhibition is designed to showcase the remarkable breadth of contemporary printmaking—from traditional methods reimagined through new approaches to boundary-pushing explorations of process and material. The exhibition presents work from nationwide artists, especially those throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States who demonstrate a deep engagement with the medium while challenging conventional expectations of what a print can be. By bringing together artists working across a wide spectrum of print-based practices, IMPRINT seeks to foster dialogue, encourage experimentation, and celebrate the enduring relevance and creative potential of the printed mark. Submissions were reviewed by the IMPRINT Exhibition Standards Committee, chaired by Lana Lambert (Corcoran School of the Arts and Design; California Institute of the Arts). The committee was composed of experienced printmakers and arts professionals dedicated to recognizing excellence and innovation in contemporary printmaking. While SVAC has a longstanding history of exhibiting printmaking and supporting printmakers through its studio programs, IMPRINT marks the center's first juried exhibition dedicated specifically to exploring the evolving landscape of contemporary printmaking through innovations that shape the field today. The exhibition opening will be held September 4, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Guests are invited to come and meet the artists! The exhibition is open to the public September 4 – October 31, Tuesday – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., 416 W. Main Street, Waynesboro, VA 22980.
