Historic Masonic Theatre, Virginia Opry Presents: Patsy & Elvis

During the 1990s, Michael Hoover won the East Coast Country Music competition as a vocalist and
defeated 95 Elvis tribute artists in Memphis to win the International Elvis Tribute title prior to setting the box-office record at the Historic Masonic Theatre. Hoover, a long-time member of The Virginia Opry, has teamed up with Denise Glass, The Virginia Opry’s Patsy Cline tribute artist, to perform “Patsy Meets Elvis at The Virginia Opry.” 

The mission of the Masonic Theatre Preservation Foundation is to serve the greater Alleghany Highlands community through a variety of educational, entertainment, business, and social programs, and to partner with organizations in need of a facility to host their programs. By doing so, the Masonic Theatre and Amphitheater will be used as first-class venues for performances and as a multi-use space for community activities.  As a result, the programs and activities in the Theatre will enhance the area’s tourism, economic development, and business growth, while attracting more visitors to the Alleghany Highlands. The community will come together to support and encourage educational and cultural programming initiated by and for the community.
