Join Second Stage in celebrating
Old Amherst Day!

Picture
Old Town Amherst Day is a town-wide celebration happening on April 27, 2019. Second Stage will offer free ice cream from Sluggo's Sundae Drive, free popcorn, a family picnic area, drumming brought to you by our tenant Mindful Mountain Yoga, and fun activities for you and your favorite pooch hosted by our tenant Blue Ridge Mountain Therapy Dogs of Virginia!
What's on our Wish List?
We're looking for folding banquet tables! Our tables are heavy and awkward to move up and down the stairs. Folding banquet tables will save our backs and help us be able to offer a wider variety of seating options for our Community Room and Main Hall.
If you'd like to donate tables, please call Penny at 434.941.0997
​or email us at:
​contact@secondstageamherst.org.
