Everytime I walked into a show done by Generic Theater, Im always blown away by the stories and the set designs. Im so excited to see how they are gonna do the next shows in their new home . 

  


I'm fundraising for Generic Theater — here's why it matters:

For 45 years, Generic Theater has been Norfolk's home for bold, unexpected theater — volunteer-powered and sustained by community. And now we're doing something we've never done before: we're building a permanent home.

We're moving to the historic Norfolk Masonic Temple, 7001 Granby Street — a dedicated space for contemporary theater, built by the community it serves. Retirees, students, military, court-referred volunteers, actors, technicians, neighbors, and first-timers — all showing up, side by side, to make it happen.

A larger capital campaign is coming. But first — Give Local 757. This is the community's chance to tell major donors: we're behind this.

The Sherman McDaniel Challenge will double every dollar given by May 5  — up to $5,000. 

  • $25 - First stroke — a gallon of paint for our new home.
  • $50 - A roll of cable — the nervous system of our stage.
  • $75 - Clamps and cables — one light, safely in the grid. 
  • $100 - Paint, brushes, drop cloths — one room, fresh start.

Can't give that much? Even $5 buys a moving box — and we have a lot to pack!

Give now, then share this link.
