Supporting The Performing Arts
Donate to Generic
For 45 years, Generic Theater has been Norfolk’s underground theater — producing bold, intimate work with a volunteer-powered community that keeps coming back show after show.
Now we have a dedicated home.
We’re transforming the historic Norfolk Masonic Temple at 7001 Granby Street into a black box theater — gutting the space, building it out from scratch, and opening our doors November 6, 2026.
We’re not finished yet. Your gift goes directly into this space — into the lighting grid, the electrical work, the stage, the seats — and into the next 45 years of theater in Norfolk.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every contribution is tax-deductible.

Putting on a Show
Volunteers
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 a show before, we can find a place for you. Learn more about our many volunteer opportunities and sign-up for upcoming shows.
