by Brooks Memorial Library | Books

Join us for a Vermont Humanities Council First Wednesdays lecture at Brooks Memorial Library.

by Vidda | History

Sandglass Theater’s Winter Sunshine Series

by Not Signed In | Arts

On March 18th at 11am and 2pm Sandglass’s beloved Winter Sunshine series begins with Double Image Theater Lab. I Laid an Egg is an original piece inspired by a dream the co-creator Margot had as a child. Margot goes on an adventure with her imaginary pal, Egg, in a world made of shadows and household items. A nonverbal, interactive show filled with many unexpected surprises and discoveries, I Laid an Egg bears elements of Shadow Theater, Object Theater and music, inviting the audience into a child’s realm of make-believe. It presents a poetic imaginative journey for the child in all of us.
