Aquila Theatre, The Great Gatsby

“Classically trained, modernly hip” (The New York Times), Aquila Theatre is one of the foremost producers of classical theatre in the United States, touring to 50+ American cities every year with performances, workshops and educational programming. In their Virginia Arts Festival debut, Aquila will bring a new look at F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, in an adaptation that draws from a more inclusive portrayal of characters and pays homage to some of the true innovators of the Jazz movement that is threaded through the story.
