SVT: celebrating 10 big years of world premieres!

The SVT 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash
a month-long celebration of 10 years of SVT

When more than 300 people showed up to our birthday party hosted by Mayor Will Wynn, we thought that something special was going on. Then, when the Mayor announced that March 26, 2004, was officially Salvage Vanguard Theater Day, we knew it! From March 26 through April 17, 2004, we celebrated our 10th anniversary with all kinds of performances, a road trip to Louisville to see Resident Playwright Dan Dietz's showing at the Humana Festival, and even a mini film festival. Dozens of artists participated in the event and hundreds of people came to celebrate with us. In all we had an awesome time. Happy Birthday SVT!
