Mark your calendars for a spring season of music, performance and theatre in the Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center
University News | January 21, 2022
Virginia Wesleyan welcomed two organizations as Artists in Residence in the Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center during the 2021-22 academic year: Tidewater Classical Guitar and Virginia Chorale, Charles J. Woodward, Artistic Director.
Tidewater Classical Guitar (TCG) is a non-profit arts organization with an all-volunteer board that cultivates awareness and appreciation of classical guitar by presenting world-class concerts and advancing guitar education. TCG presents concert series which feature many of the world's best-known and most outstanding guitarists.
The Virginia Chorale is the premier professional vocal ensemble in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Founded 38 years ago, the ensemble has grown from a community-based early music chorus to today’s dynamic group of professional singers.
This spring, each group will host a series of concerts at Virginia Wesleyan providing free tickets for VWU faculty, staff, and students, with performances also open to the general public. Both groups are representations of artistic excellence and dedication to the role of the arts in a liberal arts education.
Mark your calendars for the spring 2022 season in the Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center:

March 31 – April 3
Virginia Wesleyan Theatre Presents Roe by Lisa Loomer
March 31-April 2 @ 7:00 p.m. | April 3 @ 2:00 p.m.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, is still fiercely debated fifty years later. In this incisive play, acclaimed writer Lisa Loomer cuts through the headlines and rhetoric to reveal the divergent personal journeys of lawyer Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe") in the years following the fateful decision. In turns shocking, humorous, and poignant, ROE reflects the polarization in America today while illuminating the heart and passion each side has for its cause.
Free for VWU students, faculty, and staff. For tickets, visit https://www.tickettailor.com/events/goodecenter
