To get the ball rolling officially in this community, here's a (paywall removed) link to a News & Advance article on upcoming local events!

I would highly recommend to anyone who has not taken part in the community theater experience in Lynchburg to give it a go. There is a thriving thespian community locally and lots of different companies—both amateur and professional—offering many different shows!

A short list:

• Endstation Theater Company (professional)
• Wolfbane Theater Company (professional)
• Renaissance Theatre (community)
• Commerce Street Theater (community)
• Little Town Players (community, Bedford)

Also as a general note, I know r/Lynchburg was heavily used to discuss local politics and especially the city council. I'd love to get more of that content flowing in here so I'll try to open up some threads for discussion therein.

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd create this community to help the migration from Reddit to Lemmy. Lynchburg isn't a big city by any means, but I'd like to put it on the map in being one of the earliest communities in the Commonwealth to join the fediverse (is that even what you're supposed to call it?)!

Also, if anyone who joins this community was a prior mod on r/Lynchburg please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out!
