We bring theatre to you! A technically equipped mobile stage that transports engaging and innovative professional theatre to audiences anywhere. We perform in a variety of settings including private events, school yards, public parks, and more. Our performances are geared for all ages.
We were so happy with the Virginia Theatre Machine’s performance at our library - we had patrons say they enjoyed it so much they were planning on going to another show elsewhere in the city to see it a second time! We definitely plan to book them again. Patrons still talk about it fondly to us!

The Virginia Theatre Machine’s “A Christmas Carol” is a wonderful holiday experience for audiences of all ages. It has become a much-anticipated tradition in Merchants Square.

A more intimate way to bring the stage to our community, we could not have imagined. Our team fell in love with the Virginia Theatre Machine when they would perform A Christmas Carol every holiday season in Merchants Square. We were thrilled when they agreed to pull the stage straight to the brewery for an annual holiday pop-up for our guests and their families. Merriment and mirth go wherever the Virginia Theatre Machine goes, and they're a perfect pairing for beers & cheers!

It was such a pleasure presenting your production of “A Christmas Carol” to our two high schools and middle school. It was a delight working with your talented team and an even bigger delight for me to watch the faces of the audiences at each venue. It’s been my experience that pre-teens and teens are one of the most difficult groups to bring theatrical experiences to, especially in a rural area such as ours where students have limited exposure and opportunity to explore through classes and activities. I know that each of our three venues consisted of three very different types of audiences, including an advanced group of theatre students, high school athletes, and middle school beginning band members, and that your delightful production captured their full attention, not only entertaining but supplying a whole new way to experience theatre and the arts.
I have been intrigued for several years by the concept of Virginia Theatre Machine and am happy I finally acted on booking this unique traveling theatre company, and look forward to booking again in the near future.
I also wish to commend Mark and his entire team on being some of the most professional and personable people I have worked with – all this in frigid December weather! Mark also worked diligently with me throughout the booking process and was patient during some busy and away times I experienced this fall.

As a Fine Arts Magnet School, our students benefit from seeing a variety of arts performances. Each year, The Virginia Theater Machine production continues to be a school favorite! In a time in our educational system, that we are encouraging our students to be problem solvers, critical thinkers and “out of the box” creators. The Virginia Theater Machine exemplifies these qualities and is a perfect example of where their talents and hard work can take them.
We thank you for bringing this experience to our school. We look forward to working with you in the future!
