  • Norfolk, Virginia
    Norfolk, Virginia Norfolk, Virginia has a long history with great historical importance. It is the city of my birth, so Norfolk, Virginia is my hometown. I remember as a young child of hearing stories about Norfolk. Today, it is certainly time to show its history and its culture in 2016. It is a city that has the second largest population in any city of Virginia. It has the largest Naval base in the world. It is found in the Elizabeth River, the Chesapeake Bay, and it surrounds the Lafayette River. To the North of Norfolk, we have Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, and other locations. To the east of Norfolk lies Virginia Beach. To the south of Norfolk is Chesapeake. Portsmouth and Suffolk is to the west of Norfolk too. All of these locations make up the major cities of Hampton Roads (which is the region that is found in Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina). Norfolk is an independent city with many diverse people. It has been through economic issues, racial tensions, and educational problems. Yet, it is still in existence today. As a military oriented city, NATO people, Naval people, Army people, and other people of the military are found here. Numerous neighborhoods in Norfolk (like from Downtown to Norview, Park Place, Ocean View, Berkeley, Olde Huntersville, Park Place, Lamberts Point, Sherwood Forrest, Berkeley, Titus town, Young Park, Coleman Place, Ballentine Place, etc.) go back long decades and centuries. Today, Norfolk is growing and it was founded in 1682. It is the corporate headquarters of Norfolk Southern Railway, which is one of North America’s principal Class I railroads and Maersk Line, Limited (which manages the world’s largest fleet of U.S.

  • Theaters and Performing Arts Companies in Hampton Roads
    Theaters & Performing Arts Companies THE PLAY’S THE THING: THEATERS AND PERFORMING ARTS COMPANIES IN HAMPTON ROADS ll of Hampton Roads is but a stage and the theater companies merely players that strut across it. Yet, what a stage it is! The area’s companies provide a rich menu of thought-provoking and entertaining productions, all of which enhance Athe region with vital cultural and economic benefits. The vibrant community of thespians in Hampton Roads premiered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries at venues like The Academy of Music, and the American, the Colonial and the Wells theaters, where vaudeville mixed with drama and the emerging moving picture amusements. In fact, in the early days of the 20th century, Norfolk was viewed as the cultural “gateway to the south.” A brief decline into adult entertainment occurred in several of these theaters during the middle of the 20th century, followed by a slow and deliberate emergence into a healthy and engaging theatrical life. Currently, the theatrical venues of Hampton Roads boast several major professional companies, a changing plate of smaller com- munity performing companies, and a host of universities and colleges stretching the diversity of dramatic selections. Whether sup- ported by magnanimous corporate sponsorship, dedicated avocational passions or the hobby of a few rich patrons of the arts, local theater contributes significantly to the revitalization of Hampton Roads communities. THE WELLS THEATRE Since opening in 1913, the historic landmark New Wells Theatre welcomed guests into an ornate and exquisite venue of beaux-arts classicism, originally seating 1,650 with a top balcony “For Negro Audiences Only.” It once featured “Ben Hur,” with chariots on treadmills, and hosted the likes of Fred and Adele Astaire, Will Rogers and John Philip Sousa.
