Yesterday we had the opportunity to have a look at the stage where we will be performing BULL: A Puppet Musical in November. The Dumas Center is a beautifully restored building that was once a hotel here in Roanoke. The offices for Opera Roanoke are located in the building, as well as a complete recording studio and theater. The Dumas is “a center for collaborative non-profit organizations dedicated to providing area citizens of all races and socio-economic backgrounds -especially youth (and the young at heart) – opportunities to gain life enriching appreciation and develop talent in the visual, cultural, performing and historical arts.”

The theater seats 185 and is a beautiful state-of-the-art facility. 

It was great to get a feel for the place and to see how our stage is going to work in the space. I’m even more excited than before about this performance.  It’s going to be an unforgettable event.
