The Schedule is subject to changes and additions. For all performances presented by the Theatre, tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students eighteen and under. Reservations are recommended: (540) 675 1253 or TheatreVA@aol.com Movies are presented at the Theatre by the Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community. (No reservations taken for films.)
