The only address that seems to come up for that theatre is:
Schoenbaum Amphitheater,
Coonskin Park,
Charleston, WV
304-341-8000
This is the park that contains the amphitheater. This link has a phone number to contact them. If you are close enough you can call them and ask if they forward fan mail and what address you can send that to.

This link shows the page that has the theater on it. There is an address at the bottom with phone number. It may be that you will need to send to them there, and they forward it to the theater for you. But you would need to call and verify that first.
http://www.kcprc.com/concerts_theater.htm
Kanawha County Parks & Recreation
2000 Coonskin Drive
Charleston, WV 25311
Phone (304) 341-8000
I could try calling it for you, but I doubt anyone will be there until Monday.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Perhaps someone else may have come across something for you. Someone that lives close to there should be able to look it up in the local listings for you.

I called but I my call was rerouted to the gift shop, as the administration office is closed on the weekends. The girl in the shop didn't know if they forwarded fan mail. She didn't think they did, but suggested that they be called on Monday.
GWAR does have three venues set up but they are all out of the US. So it would be impossible to know if they forward unless the theater is listed in the 'theaters that do and don't forward' list in the venue success forum.
You could try looking those up. On their official site they have two listed, you should be able to look them up on google, and I also came across a site that has them performing in the UK in August.

I would love to try via venue, but since the USPS decided not to carry IRCs anymore cant send international anymore

the VA venue is my option right now.

I have a feeling they may not forward. By the look of it you may have to send your request to the Kanawha address and they hopefully will pass it along.
It appears only one member of the band is appearing there in a wrestling match? Or did I read that wrong? Do you now if this member would sign? Have you seen them sign VV before?
If they don't pass on fan mail you have three possible options left available to you. You could wait until they are on tour again.
The other options are to try through their representation, an agency or label . . .
Here is their site:
http://www.theagencygroup.com/artist.aspx?ArtistID=2884
When you click on Local Offices, you get:
The Agency Group Ltd.
1775 Broadway
Suite 515
New York
New York
10019
United States
Tel: 212-581-3100
The Agency Group
1880 Century Park East
Suite 711
Los Angeles
California
90067
United States
Tel: 310-385-2800
You can try calling one of these and ask if they forward fan mail to their clients.
The other option is to click on Contact under Agent on the top left of the page. This will bring up an email for you to contact his agent directly. I can't guarantee they'll reply. Sometimes they do. The best way would be to call.

Okay here's what I found out.
I called the Park where he will be appearing, and she said that she would give the letter to the park's director, and he will take it over to the amphitheater for you.
So, you must address it to the person you want it to go to, then c/o, and the park address.
Name of celeb
c/o Kanawha County Parks & Recreation
2000 Coonskin Drive
Charleston, WV 25311
IMPORTANT: Write this at the very bottom left of the envelope. Please forward to (name of celeb) at the Schoenbaum Amphitheater on (and put the date they will be appearing).
Be sure to send him a photo and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. I seriously doubt he will have photos, or stamped envelopes, with him---unless he is nice enough to take it with him back home.
Be sure to send it early enough to make sure it gets there before he appears there.
HOWEVER, it is now up to the celeb to sign it, once they give it to him.
The agency in California will give any fan letters to the celeb's agent. BUT as to what is done with it at that point she didn't know. They may pass it on to them, or not. I don't know.
The New York agency does not forward fan mail.
As only one member of this group is appearing there, if you want the entire group I would suggest you try the California address, and be sure to send a photo of the group with a SASE.
Good luck {thumb2}
