Castaways Theatre

Saving Lives is a tribute to the “life savers” during the Vietnam War: the Medics, Corpsmen, Nurses, Doctors, and Dustoff Crews. The stories told are “in their own words,”. Their stories of bravery, sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten. Medics and Corpsmen on the battlefields of Vietnam were focused mainly on treatment and evacuation for wounded or injured troops. They resuscitated, stopped bleeding, managed pain, and whatever else was necessary to keep troops alive until they could be evacuated. The work of nurses in Vietnam took place in field hospitals, surgical, mobile and hospital ships and aboard helicopters and planes. The average age of a nurse in Vietnam was 23 years old. Evening Performances @ 7:30 pmMay 8th, 15th, 16th, 22nd and 23rdMatinee Performances @ 2:00 pmMay 9th, 15th, 23rd, 24th Tickets are available at the door and:<a href="https://castawaystheatre.ludus.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExQnRGWWUwQkxWMzFpZzEyNnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4Os-TD7Laz4IicQ6Pa8QLnnF45HyIByPmToxdqtOH4I5xrDFRUX202rcZXkA_aem_P_CeJbL6-OKZMWpYPCJWoA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">castawaystheatre.ludus.com</a>

Exhibition programming sponsored by Micron. 
 
Exhibit Summary 
For over a decade, plein air artist Christine Raymond has found endless inspiration in the great outdoors. Her upcoming solo exhibition, 4 the Love of Virginia, is a visual love letter to the diverse landscapes of her adopted home state. 
Drawing upon more than two years of exploration across Virginia’s five distinct geographic regions—the Coastal Plain (Tidewater), Piedmont, Blue Ridge Mountains, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau—this body of work captures the spirit and diversity of the state’s natural beauty. Each region, with its own character and charm, has uniquely shaped the artist’s creative vision.
Approximately 75% of the works in 4 the Love of Virginia
were painted on location, allowing viewers to experience the immediacy and authenticity of plein air artistry. The remaining 25% are larger, more expressionistic pieces in oil and cold wax, developed from plein air studies. These studio works convey the artist’s emotional and interpretive response to the landscapes that have moved her most deeply.
4 the Love of Virginia is more than an exhibition—it is an invitation to explore, reflect, and fall in love with Virginia’s rich and varied terrain. Through her art, Christine Raymond hopes to inspire others to discover the state’s natural wonders and share in the profound sense of place that has shaped her life and work. 
 
About the Artist 
With more than three decades immersed in the art world, Christine Raymond is known for her impressionistic landscapes infused with a contemporary, expressionistic flair. A passionate plein air painter, she draws inspiration from hiking and exploring nature, often painting outdoors to capture the immediacy and spirit of the landscape. Her vibrant color palettes and expressive palette-knife techniques reflect a deep appreciation for the natural world.
