🎭✨SPECIAL HOMECOMING PERFORMANCE of Tuck Everlasting: Friday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m.
Presented by: Shreds & Patches Theater Project

What would you do if you had all eternity? Trapped by the rules imposed by her straitlaced family, ten-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: drink the immortal water and join the Tuck's in an everlasting adventure—or live on in a natural way, living a life full of the ordinary beauty of growth and change.

The Shreds and Patches Theater Project will perform Tuck Everlasting on Friday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m. the Gilliam Center for the Arts Black Box Theatre on campus. The performances are free and open to all. Based on best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting was adapted for the stage by Mark Frattaroli.

The Shreds and Patches Theater Project is a partnership between the Pro-Art Association and The University of Virginia’s College at Wise. The Project pairs theater professionals with college student-apprenticeships to create accessible, live theater performances to tour regional school districts in Central Appalachia. The Project is dedicated to rediscovering the promise of live theater to undo expectation, arouse festivity and sew community through playful imagining and meaningful reflection.

These performances are made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The University of Virginia’s College at Wise’s Grand Challenges Pilot Grants Program, the Lee County Community Foundation, and the Towns of Pennington Gap, St. Paul, and Haysi.

This production features several talented UVA Wise students and alumni.🌟

Every gift to UVA Wise is an investment in our students and their futures.

From scholarships and academic programs to undergraduate research, study abroad, athletics, the arts and more, philanthropy creates opportunities that shape the student experience and make a lasting impact.

On Saturday, UVA Wise celebrated that spirit of generosity by recognizing its 2026 Benefactor of the Year. While this year's honoree will remain private, the impact of their generosity can be seen in the opportunities made possible for our students.
