Call for Directors

45 years. Hundreds of shows. One community. Generic Theater is Norfolk’s stage — and we’re fighting to keep it that way.

We’re building a new home. Be part of it.

EVERY GIFT DOUBLED IN THE SHERMAN MCDANIEL CHALLENGE!

We hope you’ll stay in touch with us. In addition to our various online outlets (@GenericTheater on Instagram, Facebook, and elsewhere) we encourage you to sign-up for our email newsletter. We’ll keep you informed of upcoming productions, audition notices, special events, and more. 

We’re looking to build our audience, expand our reach into the communities that we serve, and bring attention to the enormous talent we are blessed to have in Norfolk and throughout Hampton Roads. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we depend on your financial support to fulfill this mission. Please consider supporting Generic Theater with a tax-deductible contribution.

Generic Theater is a volunteer organization, so we need many hands to mount a successful production. Whether you’re a veteran designer, builder, or stage manager, or you’ve never worked on an show before, we can find a place for you. Learn more about our many volunteer opportunities and sign-up for upcoming shows.
