This announcement came to me this afternoon. Sounds like an interesting winter project building! Cabot used to have frequent plays - I guess before so many other types of entertainment, skiing, skate-boarding, snowmobiling, DVD's and TV's were available. We wish the organizers well and look forward to posting further information.

Cabot Community Theater Performs Fresh Tales This Winter

It's been some years since there's been community theater in Cabot, but that's about to change! Shake off those stick season doldrums and join us! We will be performing two or three very funny one-act fairy-tale based comedies in late winter, and will include everyone who wants to be involved--adults, kids, teens, families--either onstage or off.

We'll begin with getting together to meet other people who want to be involved, read through the plays, and do a little planning. The read-through and meeting will take place at the Cabot School Performing Arts Center at 3:00pm on Saturday, November 6th.

Rather than having auditions, we'll start the rehearsal process with some acting games and activities, and playing with the scripts a little, then cast the shows after people have had a chance to get warmed up, and we have an idea of everyone's capabilities and preferences. Everyone who wants to have a part could, whether you've done a lot of acting, or little or none, and the same goes for helping out behind the scenes. Kids need to be mature enough to be responsible for their own behavior and focus on the rehearsal process, and people outside of Cabot are welcome to join in as well. We'd especially like to encourage multiple family members to participate, so that rehearsals can add to the time you're doing something fun together, and building community.

If you'd like to be involved, but are unable to attend on the 6th, please call or drop a line to Karen Mueller-Harder at karen@praxisworks.org or 563-2669.

Jane,
This sounds very exciting. I would suggest that they form a collaboration with Lyndon State College Twilight Players since the Twiligt Players try to maintain strong involvement in the surrounding community and recently helped in North Danville to Haunt the Corn Maize. There are several senior actors who i'm sure would love to impart their wisdom on younger generations and meet the wonderful people in Cabot. They're welcome to contact myself and I can put them in connection with the Twilight Players. mjrandal@uvm.edu
