PVCC Theatre Department to Present Absentee Ballad – an Improv-Based Musical and Political Satire

Charlottesville, Va. – October 22, 2024 – The Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) Theatre Department will present its fall production, an improv-based musical and political satire play, “Absentee Ballad,” Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2, each night at 7:30 p.m.  

Director and Associate Professor of Theatre Arts Brad Stoller hopes attendees will bring their best non-partisan sense of humor. “Politics will be mentioned” said Stoller. “But it will be entertaining with improv, singing and satire.”

Performances will be held in the V. Earl Dickinson Building’s Maxwell Theatre (Black Box). Due to the intimate nature of this small theatre, only 50 seats are available for each performance and no late seating is allowed. The doors to the theatre open 30 minutes prior to showtime. Admission is free.  

The V. Earl Dickinson Building is at the south end of 501 College Drive on the PVCC main campus in Charlottesville. Ample parking is available in front of the building. The facilities are wheelchair accessible.
