Chamberlayne Actors Theatre 

will perform its 2024-25 season at the 

Hanover Tavern 

13181 Hanover Courthouse Road, Route 301, Hanover, VA 23069.

Some may remember this as the location of the historic Barksdale Theatre.  This location is just a bit farther down the road known as… Chamberlayne Avenue.

It seems we have come full circle.

This location provides so many new opportunities, from the combination of the histories of two of Richmond’s oldest theatres, to a larger number of seats available, to enhanced lighting and technical capabilities, and let's not forget, BETTER AND BIGGER BATHROOMS! 

We’re also very excited for the content of this season.  

 

We start with Painting Churches, an old favorite from our catalog of previous productions directed by Kerrigan Sullivan.  We then have the Pulitzer Prize-winning Proof directed by Zachary Owen.  We close with a return to the tiny burg of Doublewide, Texas, for Honky Tonk Hissy Fit, directed by Mike Fletcher.
