The Castaways Repertory Theatre is a non-profit
Community Theatre that performs in Woodbridge, Virginia. The membership
consists of volunteers from all over the area and all walks of life who come
together to provide quality live theatre to the community.
The Castaways were formed in 1981 and continue to give award-winning performances, involving themselves
with the community, and enjoy coming together to produce a show.
Our mission is to provide quality live theatrical performances to the
members and visitors of our community while involving those same community
members in the theatrical arts through education, participation, and
enlightenment.

perform three feature plays a season and send annual entries to the Northern
Virginia Theatre Alliance One-Act Play Festival. We have performed at the Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo Building
auditorium,

Benefits & Community
Outreach
The
Castaways actively seek out opportunities to return to the community what they
have gained from it. We organize and perform fund-raisers for local charities,
sponsor and assist senior citizen acting groups, participate in local parades,
and perform senior readings over the holidays. We partner with local area high
schools to provide mentoring and experience to the theatre students.
Service
We
provide technical assistance and equipment to other groups and programs seeking
to produce performances as well as provide training to our members. We actively
seek and consider original works for our feature and one-act productions.
Competitions
We
are a founding member of the Washington Area Community Theatre Honors (WATCH)
awards competition and send adjudicators to all areas of Maryland, Virginia,
and Washington D.C. to view and judge community theatre productions. We also
participate annually in the British Embassy's Ruby Griffith Awards Competition
as well as enter one or two works in the NVTA One-Act Festival annually.
