THEATRE WITHOUT COMPROMISE Dedicated to new, exciting, and innovative theatrical works of the highest quality, we provide a space where writers, performers, and an audience can come together in a spirit of community and collaboration to expand our understanding of what is possible in the theatre. We also offer educational programs and support for artist development for Southwestern Virginia. By working in concert with other arts organizations, we will strive to make Roanoke a nationally recognized
home for new play development.
The city's most eligible sea captain, the deacon of the local church brothel,
and your friendly neighborhood Klansman band together to save the town of Mud
Hill from becoming just another slippery slope. Ripped from the headlines (of
1863)!

About "Nobody Gets Paid"
Take a glimpse backstage, where musicians sing their
songs in prose, using humor, candor and a fair amount of foul language.
Whether the trial is quitting cigarettes, surviving a cruise ship gig or
dealing with the day job, the characters tell us what makes the jazz life
worth the struggle.
