In partnership with Center in the Square, BUZZ Live! is back January 2026 at the Waldron Stage on Church Avenue in downtown Roanoke!
Billed as “The Tonight Show for Nonprofits,” BUZZ Live! is held before a live studio audience and live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels and later broadcast on Blue Ridge PBS.
In each 30-minute show, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill chats with the inspiring people who serve, and are served by, the arts and cultural organizations supported by Center in the Square: Mill Mountain Theatre, Science Museum of Western Virginia, Opera Roanoke, Roanoke Ballet, O. Winston Link Museum, KidSquare, Roanoke Pinball and Starcade, and more! We’ll also feature a musical guest affiliated with one of these nonprofits!
Free and open to the public, BUZZ LIVE! takes place Thursday nights in January (1/8, 1/15, 1/22 and 1/29) at 6:00 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Cash bar available.
