We invite you to tour our theatre to experience the stories of some individuals who played a role in the Federal Theatre Project (1935-1939). This project is the culmination of months of hard work by students from Radford University and Virginia Tech. The stories shared here are each student’s own imagining of one specific moment in the life of a historical figure connected to the Federal Theatre Project. Simply click on a blue-highlighted object to open a door into another time and place.
