Podium RVA Events
The events Podium hosts provide much-needed funding to help us better serve RVA youth. We host several events throughout the year, including dinners, young professional networks, youth open mics, give back nights, and annual fundraisers. Our events provide varying atmospheres but serve one purpose, to help Podium enrich the lives of the youth we serve. Podium also hosts virtual campaigns throughout the year to connect our growing community!
October Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Show 3000
Podium's Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Show 3000 is an absolute riot! Over dinner and a lively show, guests help crack the case by searching for clues and determining the motive behind who committed the night's heinous crime. Thank you to the sponsor of our second MMDTS 3000 event, Xponent 21!
February Flash Fiction Competition
Podium's annual online writing competition, where writers are given an hour to write a short story with a randomly assigned prompt based on the theme for the year. First and second place winners will read their stories to an adoring audience.
