Taubman Museum of Art
The Taubman Museum of Art is situated in a $65 million, 10-year-old iconic building,
designed by the late Randall Stout, a student of Frank Geary. The Taubman features highend art, local exhibits and some fascinating cultural exhibits.
Roanoke has become a center for live theater in the region. Its groups are amateur and
professional, old and new, for children and adults. The leader is professional Mill Mountain
Theatre, founded in 1964, 13 years after Showtimers, a community theater which is still going
strong. Among the other groups are the theater arts program at Hollins University, which
is nationally ranked, Roanoke Children's Theatre, Off the Rails, Star City Playhouse, Attic
Productions, the Bedford Players and community theater groups in the surrounding counties.
The localities surrounding the immediate Roanoke Valley are rich with culture and
entertainment.
