History
Established in 2011.
Selah Theatre Project is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Winchester, Virginia. Founded by Artistic Director Bleu Do’zia, the company launched its first children's show in 2012 with a modest budget, supported generously by family and friends. Since then, Selah Theatre Project has emerged as the premier provider of year-round dramatic arts education in the northern Shenandoah Valley. Selah Theatre Project is dedicated to investing in bold theatrical works, fostering creative growth, and celebrating excellence, all while sharing inclusive stories throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Established in 2011, we have spent a decade utilizing theatre to amplify diverse community voices on stage, inviting audiences to "pause and think." Our programming features five seasonal productions and three special events, including the Selah Young Actors Ensemble and the Community Theatre Ensemble.
