Light the Sanctuary

​

A new chapter is rising for SelahTheatre Project. In September 2026, we open the doors of The Vivienne L. Jackson Sanctuary for the Arts, our new home inside the historic First United Methodist Church in Winchester, Virginia. What was once a place of stillness is becoming a home for voices, movement, story, and community: a space where imagination gets to breathe.

To cross this threshold, we’re launching the Light the Sanctuary Campaign, a chance for our community to help build a fully equipped, fully alive theatre space. Your support becomes the spark that lifts the curtain, powers the lights, amplifies the stories, and welcomes audiences for years to come.

​

What Your Gift Builds

Each contribution strengthens one of the five pillars that will shape our new home:

• Stage Curtains — the velvet wings that cradle each performance.

• Stage Lighting — instruments that sculpt shadow, color, and mood.

• Sound System — crisp, powerful audio that lets every voice be heard.

• Concession Booth — a warm gathering spot that turns spectators into community.

• Patron Software Upgrade — smoother operations, better accessibility, and stronger communication with the people we serve.

 

Every element you help fund becomes part of the artistic ecosystem we’re creating—a sanctuary that looks, sounds, and feels like possibility.
