With the passing of my mother 2 months ago, I went from 70+ hours a week as a Corporate Training Manager back to VCU Photographer within a week. They were so empathetic to my situation from having to academically withdraw a couple years ago because of financial and family reasons. They helped me access my accounts and pay off previous semesters to get me back in school in time for the fall semester. All within a week. No words really can express my gratitude to this school. Thank you!

Violent sexual assaults happen on my campus (Monroe park campus) and in my dorm building and the police don't even try to send a description of the perpetrator.

The school president is greedy and takes the students money to buy cars instead of fixing the school. 0/10 transferring as soon as possible.

A family of four tickets for 6 home games was approximately $240.00. We got to pick our seats and have a great view of everything that goes on. The games are action packed and we have a great time with the other fans. The football players are so close and the opposing team is right there to talk trash with. The home team is always getting high fives from the fans as they come on and off the field. After the game, you are encouraged to travel onto the field for pictures and autographs with the players and Lady Raiders. These players and Lady Raiders are part of the community and love the support they get from their fans. If you have never been to a game. You need to come, there are 4 games left.

As a member of the jury, we analysed witness testimonies, cross-examinations, and forensic evidence in a search for the truth. The case involves the accidental death of a pedestrian by an autonomous taxi vehicle and the subsequent man slaughter trail of the AI's developer. We the jurors voted using our phones along with QR codes concerning three key elements of the trail and finally to either convict or acquit. It was great fun however I wish the theater offered more comfortable seating!!!

Got to check out…read moretheir Class Action Stand Up Showcase on a Sunday which consisted of getting to see students from the stand up class do comedy in front of an audience for the first time! The energy was electric and everyone was so funny (definitely a testament to how good the class must be). The show was about 2 hours and for only 14 dollars was an extreme value! Loved being able to laugh and cheer on strangers as they did something for the first time. They also had a concessions stand that appeared to sell drinks and a few snacks, I didn't indulge but it was nice to know that was an option. Coalition theater provides a bridge between entertainment and community which I really loved. I'd definitely reccomend giving one of their shows a try if you are looking for a fun night alone, with friends or for a date night!

When you sign up for a class, you get a free show pass for the season you're signed up. My 101 was with Emilee and she was incredible. I loved her positive energy and feedback. She really supported us and helped us grow. My 201 was with Chris and I loved how passionate he was about improv. Him and our TA took amazing notes to help us improve our improv. He also took the time to sign us up for extra practices during open mic nights at the theater. If you're looking to take comedy classes or just want to catch a show, Coalition Theater is the place for you. You can catch shows Thursdays through Saturdays. They have drinks and snacks for sale during shows. There is a gender neutral bathroom. There are three rows of seating and it's a pretty intimate space. It's an awesome community of supportive and inclusive people.

Parking is a bit tricky as there is no direct parking available in front of the theatre but there are some paid lots and street parking is available (there is a 2 hour limit to be considerate of if you're seeing a matinee, not applicable after 8). What stands out is the seating is a bit more comfortable with a decent amount of leg room my partner who is 6'1 was able to sit comfortably. The sound quality of this theatre is also amazing, I was able to hear the music and the actors very clearly throughout the show. I checked out Virginia Reps production of Waitress for the first time this past weekend and it was phenomenal! So glad that we are able to have such quality theatre offerings here in the area and this is one place that can not be beat! Before a shows run they offer pay what you can previews which definitely makes the magic of theatre more accessible to the masses. Definitely give Virginia Repertory a shot if you have any interest in the arts, I think this is a great introduction to some amazing shows and everyone is extremely talented!
