It looks like Amelia and Constance just saw this weekend's weather forecast! With Augusta County Schools' closure of all activities after noon on Saturday, tonight is your ONLY chance to see this phenomenal show.

Winter weather is expected to move into our area this weekend, which may affect upcoming performances of The Clockmaker’s Daughter, originally scheduled for Thursday through Sunday at ShenanArts.

Our cast and crew have dedicated countless hours to this production, investing both emotionally and financially to bring this story to life. With the possibility of inclement weather, there is a real chance the show could be limited to only a few performances.

In an effort to give these students a chance to share their work, we are adding a Pay-What-You-Will performance TONIGHT at 7:00 PM. This performance will also serve as the final dress rehearsal and reflects an adjusted schedule, so we appreciate your patience and support.

We recognize this is short notice, but this show is truly special and deserving of an audience. Thank you for supporting our students and helping ensure their hard work is seen.
