Apr 06, 2013 – Jul 28, 2013
Free for VMFA members, children 6 and under, and active-duty military personnel and their immediate families.
$15 for adults; $12 for seniors 65+, students with ID, adult groups of 10+, and youth ages 7 – 17.
Famous for his Great American Nude series, American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the vanguard of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, he forged a new movement using the materials and images of everyday popular culture. However, unlike his two fellow Pop artists, Wesselman has never been the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in North America.
This exhibition, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, shows an artist who constantly reinvented himself long after the Pop Art movement had passed. He explored all kinds of techniques from plastic bas-relief to laser-cut steel drawings and multi-paneled shaped canvases. In his work, W…

March 4, 2013–July 8, 2013
John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents. This National Geographic exhibition features dozens of rarely seen images of recent U.S. presidents through the eyes of their official photographers.
Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.
The exhibition also includes the National Geographic documentary about Pete Souza, President Obama’s chief White House photographer.

American Royalty is a psych-pop three piece that constructs an unlikely yet glowingly functional blend of dark psychedelic rock and poignant electronica.

Natalie was born and raised in sunny southern California where she grew up listening to music in a home filled with the songs and vibes of the late 60’s and early 70’s, from Dylan and Joplin to the British Invasion. By 19 she had taught herself how to play guitar, moved to LA and began writing songs that drew on her personal experiences and the inspiration of her old school, folk-pop roots. After some time spent in LA and touring the USA in 2009 with her first band, Traditional Matter, Natalie decided it was time for a change.
She came to NY about four years ago with her incredible vocals, her guitar and dreams. She burst on the music scene and quickly became a fan favorite at many of the local venues in NYC such as Rockwood Music Hall and The Living room. In concert Natalie connects with her audiences through her style of storytelling and her unique Americana vocals. From her heartfelt ballads to her upbeat rockers Natalie knows her audience.
In 2011 Natalie put together the band, Natalie Mishell…

As always, McCaig will share more than dog training tips.
He will offer vivid recollections of cross-country trips with his first dog and stories of relocating from New York City to Bath County. Above all, he'll show the powerful connection between humans and their animal companions. A book signing follows the talk.

Infectious melodies & high energy songwriting makes menagerie an immediate favourite among Taterheads! You’ll be singing along by the second verse! This is songwriting from a time when irresistible hooks were just expected, and the Taters don’t disappoint!
The Taters have played the Richmond and central VA area for over 16 years, with six CDs of original tunes out. Starting out as an alt-country trio, with acoustic gtr, bass and percussion, we’ve expanded to a quartet (electric guitar & drums), and the music has moved more in a power-pop direction over the last 5 years, though still lots of early country influences. Our biggest emphasis is on melody and vocal harmonies, making us a hit with crowds who grew up in the 60s & 70s and loved AM and early FM radio. The band has been included on several tribute albums, including tributes to Jellyfish, Squeeze, and Rick Nelson.

In this hysterical tale of unwitting identity theft, two sets of identical twins separated in infancy suddenly find themselves in the same town.

Shakespeare's shortest and silliest comedy, A Comedy of Errors is a delightfully goofy mash up of close calls, blunders, bafflement and discombobulation-with absolutely hilarious results!

Free for VMFA members, children 6 and under, and active-duty military personnel and their immediate families.
$15 for adults; $12 for seniors 65+, students with ID, adult groups of 10+, and youth ages 7 – 17.
Famous for his Great American Nude series, American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the vanguard of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, he forged a new movement using the materials and images of everyday popular culture. However, unlike his two fellow Pop artists, Wesselman has never been the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in North America.
This exhibition, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, shows an artist who constantly reinvented himself long after the Pop Art movement had passed. He explored all kinds of techniques from plastic bas-relief to laser-cut steel drawings and multi-paneled shaped canvases. In his work, W…

John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents.

Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.

The 5-mile course starts in the Citie and goes around the trail loop at Dutch Gap, but this isn’t your typical trail run.
Think much, much messier. We guarantee you will get wet and dirty as you climb, crawl and weave through multiple obstacles along the way. And just when you think you can’t get any dirtier, you’ll come face-to-face with the final mud pit at the finish overlooking the scenic James River. The Henricus Dauber Dash, the best of nature, history and fun…all rolled in mud. This is not a race for walkers!

2013 Richmond Shakespeare Festival
Thursday through Sunday evenings, June 13--August 4, 2013, at 8pm
THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
--- June 13-July 7 ---
"I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop."
In this hysterical tale of unwitting identity theft, two sets of identical twins separated in infancy suddenly find themselves in the same town. Residents and visitors alike are plunged into confusion, and a nutty pandemonium ensues. Shakespeare's shortest and silliest comedy, A Comedy of Errors is a delightfully goofy mash up of close calls, blunders, bafflement and discombobulation-with absolutely hilarious results!
OTHELLO
--- July 11-August 4 ---
"There's magic in the web of it."
A stunningly beautiful, heartbreaking depiction of overpowering love and devastating jealousy, Othello pits a confident, natural-born leader of men against his friend-a stunningly sociopathic villain bent on his destruction. Esteemed general Othello has eloped in the middle of the night…

Farm Vegas - http://www.farmvegas.net
Farm Vegas is an up-and-coming rock and roll quintet from the music-rich riverbeds of Richmond Virginia. Weaving elements of rock, soul, Americana, and blues into a musical tapestry all their own, Farm Vegas has crafted a unique sound that is at once modern yet classic, refreshing yet familiar. In a day and age when musical careers are launched by TV placements and best-selling singers don’t actually sing at all, Farm Vegas has avoided the shortcuts that jump-start but ultimately compromise a band’s career.
Shying away from the traditional help of big management, radio airplay, and label support, the band has put together a fiercely-loyal regional following the old-fashion way-- by delivering electrifying live shows night after night-- one college at a time, one club at a time, one city at a time. Farm Vegas is a reminder that bands can still have successful careers away from the glare of the national spotlight.

Apr 06, 2013 – Jul 28, 2013
Free for VMFA members, children 6 and under, and active-duty military personnel and their immediate families.
$15 for adults; $12 for seniors 65+, students with ID, adult groups of 10+, and youth ages 7 – 17.
Famous for his Great American Nude series, American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the vanguard of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, he forged a new movement using the materials and images of everyday popular culture. However, unlike his two fellow Pop artists, Wesselman has never been the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in North America.
This exhibition, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, shows an artist who constantly reinvented himself long after the Pop Art movement had passed. He explored all kinds of techniques from plastic bas-relief to laser-cut steel drawings and multi-paneled shaped canvases. In his work, W…

March 4, 2013–July 8, 2013
John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents. This National Geographic exhibition features dozens of rarely seen images of recent U.S. presidents through the eyes of their official photographers.
Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.
The exhibition also includes the National Geographic documentary about Pete Souza, President Obama’s chief White House photographer.

Experimental dreampop artist, Shana Falana is performing her "In the Light EP" produced by Kevin McMahon (TitusAndronicus, Swans) and mixed by Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Interpol), In the Light has critics responding to it’s effortless lucidity, calling it “positive music of wonderment and discovery” (DELI Magazine). Combining live-looping of reverb-drenched vocals and guitar with drums, pre-recorded “backing tracks” and stunning visual projections, Shana’s live experience has often been described as transcendental. Praised as “the most entrancing modern psychedelic pop now being made” by Chronogram magazine (NY).

Famous for his Great American Nude series, American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the vanguard of American Pop Art.

John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents. This National Geographic exhibition features dozens of rarely seen images of recent U.S. presidents through the eyes of their official photographers.
Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.
The exhibition also includes the National Geographic documentary about Pete Souza, President Obama’s chief White House photographer.

One of the world’s favorite musical comedies!
This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, with its quirky characters, charming situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets, and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. When fast talking Harold Hill comes marching into town, you know there’s going to be trouble right here in River City.
His goal is to con the good townspeople out of their money, but Marian the Librarian has other plans. This wonderful slice of Americana will leave your entire family humming such familiar tunes as “Seventy-Six Trombones, “Gary, Indiana,” and “’Till There Was You.” By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.

--- June 13-July 7 ---
"I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop."
In this hysterical tale of unwitting identity theft, two sets of identical twins separated in infancy suddenly find themselves in the same town. Residents and visitors alike are plunged into confusion, and a nutty pandemonium ensues. Shakespeare's shortest and silliest comedy, A Comedy of Errors is a delightfully goofy mash up of close calls, blunders, bafflement and discombobulation-with absolutely hilarious results!

On Wednesday, February 13th, Elijah Von Cramon was walking to his home in Charlotte when he was hit by a car. Lucky to be alive, he nonetheless sustained a fractured pelvis, broken shoulder, broken femur, chipped teeth, and brain damage.
Elijah’s band, Richmond favorites PAINT FUMES, was only weeks away from embarking on US and European tours in support of their full-length debut ‘Uck Life’. Instead, he has spent the past three months bedridden, only recently able to enjoy moderate mobility in a wheelchair at the cost of nausea from the astronomical amounts of pain medication required to keep him functional. Like many of us, Elijah does not have health insurance. The cost of the multiple surgeries he has already undergone is staggering to say the least, and Elijah still has many months of physical therapy to get through before he can walk again. Please join us, Elijah’s many friends and devotees, i…

Welcome to Sassafras, the ancestral plantation home of the Simpson family. Colonel Simpson has asked you here tonight to celebrate the upcoming marriages of his daughters, Scarlet and Melody. The Colonel is delighted about the impending nuptials, and will be even happier when he actually finds two young men willing to marry the girls. After all, eligible young men are scarce these days. War is looming on the horizon, and Yankee spies are everywhere. The only single gentlemen around seem to be the Pinckney boys, and let’s face it, they are a bit odd. And we can’t forget Brett Rutgers, a gambler of vague origins, and questionable repute. These gentlemen may not be a perfect match for the girls, but, in these trying times, who can wait for perfect. So sit back, enjoy the party, and keep your eyes open for stray bullets and Yankee spies!

June 28 - August 4, 2013
One of the world’s favorite musical comedies!
This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, with its quirky characters, charming situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets, and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. When fast talking Harold Hill comes marching into town, you know there’s going to be trouble right here in River City.
His goal is to con the good townspeople out of their money, but Marian the Librarian has other plans. This wonderful slice of Americana will leave your entire family humming such familiar tunes as “Seventy-Six Trombones, “Gary, Indiana,” and “’Till There Was You.” By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.

In this hysterical tale of unwitting identity theft, two sets of identical twins separated in infancy suddenly find themselves in the same town.

Shakespeare's shortest and silliest comedy, A Comedy of Errors is a delightfully goofy mash up of close calls, blunders, bafflement and discombobulation-with absolutely hilarious results!

$15 for adults; $12 for seniors 65+, students with ID, adult groups of 10+, and youth ages 7 – 17.
Famous for his Great American Nude series, American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the vanguard of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, he forged a new movement using the materials and images of everyday popular culture. However, unlike his two fellow Pop artists, Wesselman has never been the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in North America.
This exhibition, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, shows an artist who constantly reinvented himself long after the Pop Art movement had passed. He explored all kinds of techniques from plastic bas-relief to laser-cut steel drawings and multi-paneled shaped canvases. In his work, W…

March 4, 2013–July 8, 2013
John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents. This National Geographic exhibition features dozens of rarely seen images of recent U.S. presidents through the eyes of their official photographers.
Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.
The exhibition also includes the National Geographic documentary about Pete Souza, President Obama’s chief White House photographer.

This exhibition, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, shows an artist who constantly reinvented himself long after the Pop Art movement had passed. He explored all kinds of techniques from plastic bas-relief to laser-cut steel drawings and multi-paneled shaped canvases. In his work, W…

March 4, 2013–July 8, 2013
John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer, and nearly every president since has had one. Photographic images have become an increasingly critical tool in how we understand our presidents. This National Geographic exhibition features dozens of rarely seen images of recent U.S. presidents through the eyes of their official photographers.
Featuring images taken in tense times and on joyous occasions, during official meetings and at informal moments, the show explores the role of the president’s photographer, documenting for history every possible aspect of presidency. Label copy accompanying each image offers a fresh and candid viewpoint on life and work from the photographer.
The exhibition also includes the National Geographic documentary about Pete Souza, President Obama’s chief White House photographer.

June 28 - August 4, 2013
One of the world’s favorite musical comedies!
This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, with its quirky characters, charming situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets, and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. When fast talking Harold Hill comes marching into town, you know there’s going to be trouble right here in River City.
His goal is to con the good townspeople out of their money, but Marian the Librarian has other plans. This wonderful slice of Americana will leave your entire family humming such familiar tunes as “Seventy-Six Trombones, “Gary, Indiana,” and “’Till There Was You.” By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.
Premium $60 | Standard $48 | Value $30
Wednesdays: Premium $54 | Standard $43 | Value $25

On Wednesday, February 13th, Elijah Von Cramon was walking to his home in Charlotte when he was hit by a car. Lucky to be alive, he nonetheless sustained a fractured pelvis, broken shoulder, broken femur, chipped teeth, and brain damage.
Elijah’s band, Richmond favorites PAINT FUMES, was only weeks away from embarking on US and European tours in support of their full-length debut ‘Uck Life’. Instead, he has spent the past three months bedridden, only recently able to enjoy moderate mobility in a wheelchair at the cost of nausea from the astronomical amounts of pain medication required to keep him functional. Like many of us, Elijah does not have health insurance. The cost of the multiple surgeries he has already undergone is staggering to say the least, and Elijah still has many months of physical therapy to get through before he can walk again. Please join us, Elijah’s many friends…
