Show dates are April 5-7 at 7 p.m. and April 8 at 3:00 p.m.
The Story
In her creative drama class at the local theatre, middle-aged bohemian Marty coaches an unlikely assortment of small-town Vermonters: a recently divorced carpenter, a high school junior, a former actress, and Marty’s own husband. As they tackle Marty’s imaginative, improvisational, and sometimes awkward theatre games, their real lives gradually infiltrate the classroom—inspiring transformations both personal and profound.
