Performances

In an effort to take music in new directions, a group of college friends at the University of Vermont started "The Experimental Music Program." They had some fun, but the group produced lack-luster results until one day a bagpiper came into their midst. What strange beastly creation was this? There was no place to plug in an amp. The piper tuned it with... electrical tape? Could this have been what they were searching for? It was.

Join us for a festive evening of a cappella music by The Yale Alley Cats, the world-renowned singing group from Yale University, making music around the world since their founding back in 1943.

Puppeteers Dan Baginski and Barbara Paulson's traveling stage transforms any space into an intimate theater, where the seamless blend of movement, music and masterful manipulation captivates young and old alike. With puppeteers in full view, the audience sees how the puppets are brought to life. These Vermont artisans lovingly hand craft the marionettes, props and scenery, whether for an original tale or an adaptation of a classic.
