This original pastel painting is being auctioned to support Silver Line Theatre Exchange as we face rising operating costs so we can continue to bring our mission of accessible educational programming and quality professional shows to Staunton and the Shenandoah Valley.

Your bid directly fuels the work that happens on our stage, in our classrooms, and for our community. Thank you for supporting local theatre —and for giving this artwork its next home.

About the Painting

Inspired by the array of storied objects in a theatre, artist Phoebe West assembled a still life of what she thinks the character Patrick in Snowbound might have selected to hang on his wall. Each object in the painting has been used at Silver Line -- either as a set piece, a prop, at an event, or behind our bar (plus our neighbor John's apples!).
