The Patrick Henry Committee invites you to join us for a special Veteran's Day Reenactment of the Second Virginia Convention of March 1775.

Court End Christmas

St. John's Church partners with a host of Richmond museums and historic sites to present the annual Court End Christmas festivities, a celebrated Richmond tradition! Shuttles from downtown Richmond will provide transportation to St. John's Church as well as other attractions in Church Hill. This year St. John's Church is proud to welcome presentations by Harry Kollatz, Jr. and the Richmond Boys Choir! All events are free to the public. Please contact programs@saintjohns.cc for more information.

Mr. Kollatz has lived in Richmond his whole life and has himself become an institution of the capital city. In 1993 he co-founded the Firehouse Theater Project, one of Richmond's premier drama venues; he is also that institution's former president. He is a senior writer for Richmond Magazine, which regularly publishes his "Flashback" column.

The Richmond Boys Choir (RBC) is in its twelfth season and has long been known as “Richmond's Ambassadors of Song.” This diverse group of boys aged 7-17 boasts a nationally-recognized reputation and remarkable talent.
