Support The Pit Stop…

We’ve heard back from many musicians who perform at The Pit Stop – “You’ve got one of the most unique and truly special venues I’ve ever performed at or seen.” -Will Phalen, musician from the Midwest, who played a show for us earlier this year. Many in the community would agree that The Pit Stop fills a void for this island and we want it to remain open through the off season. But we can’t do it without financial support! Remember you can become a member for a year by donating $100. Members get discounts on most shows and other perks. We’re also always looking for volunteers and ideas, so please be in touch.

Hope to see you soon,

The Pit Crew

This show is an inspired retelling of the incredible true story of Julia Pastrana, the Victorian Ape Woman. Told through original music and narrated by some of the Vineyard’s most notable actors, this is a truly unique theatrical and musical experience.
