Virtual Sandler Center

During this unprecedented time, while we miss you all dearly, we want to continue to be a resource for the community even though the bright lights of our stage may be off. While the show can't currently go on, we want to bring a smile to your day and we can do that by connecting virtually while we are physically apart! So we would like to open our virtual doors, raise our virtual curtains, and give you access to some great programs and performances. We look forward to reopening our actual doors to you soon, but in the meantime, check back to this webpage frequently and follow us on social media as we will share fun videos, resources, and photos that will keep us all virtually connected. For event updates, please visit SandlerCenter.org/events-updates. 

Sign up to receive email updates on virtual content, as well as event status updates and new safety protocols for when the Sandler Center begins to reopen. 

CONNECT WITH US IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

1. JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP

We invite you to post, comment, and share videos of your past performances and new home-bound practice sessions on our virtual stage for our entire community to enjoy. Check out #MusicMondays as we share music from local to national acts, #TriviaTuesdays as we share fun facts about the Sandler Center and Sandler Center Foundation, and Sandler Center Foundation's #FamilyFridays where we will post past performances from our Educational Programs for all Pre-K-12 students and their families. 

2. "What Is On Your Playlist?"

The Sandler Center and Sandler Center Foundation have asked some of our local Coastal Virginia friends "What is on your playlist?" to bring themed Spotify and YouTube playlists to you. Throughout the upcoming weeks, we will be posting fun playlists for you to enjoy. Join the Virtual Stage Coastal Virginia Facebook group to make sure you don't miss one!

We kick it off with Fall Hits from the Sandler Center and Sandler Center Foundation staff.
