About Us:

An optional dinner or lunch is served by the actors in Franklin Hall next door before the show in the tradition of The Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre. Franklin Hall and Schoolfield Hall, where our performances are held, are handicapped accessible. We offer alternative meals for those with food allergies when given advance notice: please note dietary and mobility restrictions in the comments at checkout.

Meal ticket sales often end before the show dates, and may not be available at the door. Unless sold out, most shows will have show-only tickets available at the door.

Tours of Schoolfield Hall and its archival displays will also be offered during Homecoming Weekend, on Saturday, October 11 between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and Sunday, October 12 between 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Visitors will be able to peek behind the scenes at the Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre, learn a bit of Ferrum College trivia, and perhaps hear a ghost story or two. Homecoming Weekend schedule and registration at https://www.ferrum.edu/homecoming-weekend.

“Faith of Our Father” is a free performance on Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon, telling the story of the first hundred years of Schoolfield Hall through narration, music, and historical dramatization.
