Among NPR’s most popular shows is Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!; an award-winning quiz show highlighting the biggest news of the week. If you’ve ever wanted the chance to see a live recording of the show, now is your chance! VPM is excited to announce that it’s bringing the beloved program to the Altria Theater in Downtown Richmond and tickets will go on sale this week.
The show will take place on Thursday, Feb. 13, beginning at 7:30 p.m. and will last about two hours at the Altria Theater. Attendees can purchase their tickets here. We recommend purchasing tickets as soon as possible since the last time the show came to Richmond in 2019, all tickets sold out in 72 hours. Presale begins Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 10 a.m. and the public on-sale begins on Friday, Jan. 10 at 10 a.m.
Chioke I'Anson, director of community media at the VPM + ICA Community Media Center, will be the show's judge and scorekeeper!
