Right now, amateur and professional thespians are memorizing their lines. Scenery is being built. Directors are choosing cast members. Winter theater in Vermont is preparing for opening nights of comedies, dramas and musicals.
We sneak a peak behind the curtain at numerous theater companies around the state.
We hear from Lyric Theatre Company Director/Choreographer Kate Whalen, Vermont Theatre Company President Brandon Batham, Northern Stage Artistic Director Carol Dunne, and Vermont Stage Producing Artistic Director Cristina Alicea. We also heard from TheatreKavanah and Shaker Bridge Theatre.
Also on the program, Henry Berry, a bedrock geologist for the Maine Geological Survey, explains what a frost quake is.
Plus, we visit steeplejack Jay Southgate to get an idea of what it takes to renovate and rehabilitate aging and damaged steeples.
