I may have left the Shenandoah, But she'll never leave my heart. Stonewall Country clear-eyed daughter of the stars. I worked for Theater at Lime Kiln in 1995. While I was there I met and saw many great artists such as Kris Kristofferson, Robin & Linda Williams, The Mighty Rainmakers, and many more. In addition to the many great concert series performances I also had the joy of seeing the theatrical performance of Stonewall Country every night and working with a wonderful volunteer staff, cast, and crew. Stonewall Country was a great musical about the life and death of Civil War General Stonewall Jackson. Who by the way is buried in Lexington as well in Stonewall Jackson Cemetery off Main St. His horse is stuffed and located in the Virginia Military Institute museum. Since I left my home in Stonewall Country, I have but one concern; That I will never get back home To see the seasons turn. Or the sun go down in Stonewall Country, Pink and flaming red. With the trees all silhouetted Against the mountain's crest, Just over to the west. read more

My husband and I, with some friends, enjoyed a great concert last night in the Bowl...Love Canon! The concert sold out so be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online. There were probably several hundred folks at the venue, but it was not over-crowded. This is such a great outdoor venue! Parking was a breeze and it was a short walk to the restrooms, entrance, will call, and food and drink. Concert started at 7:30p and we arrived around 6:30p. We had plenty of time to find a bench and stake our claim to it with a blanket. Then we purchased dinner...choices were burger, chicken salad, tuna salad, quinoa and rice salad, tuna, crab cake and maybe another item or two. Non-alcoholic drinks were water, sodas, and apple juice. There was also a food truck that offered some small bites and dessert. Beer and wine were also for sale for $5 each. The only draw back was the long line for food and then another long line for beer and wine. There was an area with about half a dozen picnic tables. The restrooms were quite clean! The band played until about 11:00p. Music and lighting were terrific. Leaving the venue was a breeze. I would definitely recommend this venue! read more

This charming outdoor theater is one of the Shenandoah Valley's treasures. I first fell in love with Lexington in the fall of 2003 attending an autumn production of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow at Lime Kiln. Since then I've moved to Lexington and been charmed by the regular summer plays, the authentic local music, and some fun creative dance staged each year at Lime Kiln. Currently Lime Kiln is doing a revival performance of "Stonewall Country" with Robin & Linda Williams at Lime Kiln. A superb ensemble cast and fabulous music make this a a must see event. Not the spectacle of the past -- just thoughtful, riveting storytelling with unforgettable songs. Well worth the price of admission. Last nights: July 8-11. read more

A great outdoor venue with a beautiful Shenandoah setting. Well worth the price of a ticket... and with a wide variety of shows.

Bringing back the sass. We own Kind Roots Café (which vends all the shows) and we can certainly say that Spencer (and crew) has done an amazing job bringing back the energy of old times PLUS some in '14. We have an exciting new lineup of shows coming for you this May-Fall '15. Join us for an exciting event. read more
