Virginia Repertory Theatre in Richmond, Virginia was created when Barksdale Theatre and Theatre IV, which had shared one staff for over a decade, merged to become one company in 2012.[1][2] The theatre presents seasons at the November Theatre (formerly the Empire Theatre) and Theatre Gym at Virginia Rep Center, as well as productions at the Hanover Tavern and The Children's Theatre in The Shops at Willow Lawn. It is currently run under the leadership of Artistic Director Bruce Miller and Managing Director Phil Whiteway.[3]
In 2012, Sara Belle and Neil November made a $2 million gift for restoration, and the Empire Theatre was renamed the Sara Belle and Neil November Theatre.[4]
