Our summer outing takes us to the heart of Southwest Virginia and the State Theatre of Virginia, the renowned Barter.  Founded during the Depression by an enterprising young actor named Robert Porterfield, the Barter is in its 80th season.  Join us as we enjoy a masterwork in American theatre, Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”.  Winner of the   Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948, Streetcar is one of the most influential plays of the 20th Century and has been performed the world over and adapted into film, television, ballet, and opera.

 

Before the show, we’ll enjoy lunch at the Harvest Table Restaurant in nearby Meadowview.  Billed as the most dedicated field-to-table restaurant in Southwestern Virginia, the restaurant features all locally-grown foods.

 

The restaurant is owned by Steven Hopp and his wife, the author Barbara Kingsolver, who have partnered with over 50 area growers, farmers, ranchers and collectors for the food they serve.  They also own a 4.5-acre farm located a couple of miles away that’s dedicated solely to growing food for the restaurant.

 

You won’t want to miss this one.  Join us for a day of fun with your fellow members and friends, a world-class theatrical experience, and a unique dining opportunity.  This trip will fill up soon so reserve today!
