We're only a few days into rehearsals for THE WANTING FOREST, but we can already tell that this is a special one.

We started the week with movement, exploring how our bodies could tell stories together. We ended with reading the full text and singing through it.

It's okay if you don't have $10 to spare, times being what they are ("hard and getting harder all the time").

It's really helpful to us if you feed the algorithm by liking, commenting, or sharing with your wealthiest relative.

#greatCommunityGive has prizes for most donors and most money raised, in each of three size categories.

This year, we're in the "small" category, and we want to win "most donors." Every donation of $10 or more counts!

Six actors standing on the Silk Moth Stage prepare to take their bows. Text reads: This year, Silk Moth wants to win the prize for Most Donors! (and we're not up against big nonprofits this year, so we have a real fighting chance!). Every donation of at least $10 counts! The organization with the most donors wins $5500!

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, as well as one of our favorite events overall.

Already got yours? Show us what book they're marking. We're always looking for additions to our TBR.
This one just kept Artistic Director Aili Huber and her daughter company through A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS, by Marie Brennan. It's a fun read. Five stars.

We love our show promo bookmarks, designed by Board Member Francisco Escalera.

They're stylish and functional. Look for them at various locations around Rockingham and Harrisonburg—and if you want one of your own, hit our DMs.
A hand holding a set of bookmarks, fanned out. They have info about the upcoming Silk Moth shows: The Last Wide Open, May 9-18, and The Wanting Forest, September 19-28. There's a mug, blurry, in the background.

We commission a new moth every year. We're about to unveil our 2025 moth, and this beautiful tulip tree silkmoth, by local artist Anna Maria Johnson, is going in the vault (... cocoon? ) ...

Awesome meeting yesterday with the fabulous Chris Hoover, Interim Executive Director at New Bridges Immigrant Resource Center.

We were dreaming of how we can work together for mutual support on our upcoming production of THE LAST WIDE OPEN, which features an immigrant story.

We had the most beautiful evening of auditions ever, last night!

Auditions can be stressful, so our goal is always to make them as welcoming as possible. Nature helped us out with beautiful weather, a bald eagle fly-by, and a visit from our 2000-pound neighbors.

We're a small professional theater in Rockingham County, Virginia.

We produce "new classics," using a definition created by Shakespeare & Co back in the 1970s:
"The highest truths, universally told, with healing powers."
