Our 2005 Sesaon

2005 Season: 'Bat Boy: The Musical' - August 3rd to August 14th
Wednesdays through Sundays at 8 PM
Admission $15

Freak.
Menace.
Abomination.

These are the labels that haunt the creature we have come to know as Bat Boy. Documented extensively by the Weekly World News, the Bat Child is known to most simply as a dangerous accident of nature.
Mother Nature was not kind to Bat Boy, to be sure, but is he truly dangerous? Did he really attack that little girl in Florida? If so, was it without provocation? Was his 13-state reign of terror simply a vicious animal's idea of fun--or was it, perhaps, the result of an unspeakable horror inflicted upon him in the laboratory from which he fled?
Perhaps we will find in Bat Boy neither a freak, nor a menace, nor an abomination. Perhaps, if we look closely enough and without the protection of our prejudice, we will see more than pointy ears and razor-sharp teeth. Perhaps we will find that the Bat Child is a more familiar animal than he first appears. Perhaps we will see in Bat Boy not what is wrong with Bat Boy--but what is wrong with ourselves.
Exploring such complex and controversial terrain will not be easy, but the Weekly World News has never shied away from the truth, and neither shall BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL, opening in August at The Skinner Barn Theater in Waitsfield, VT.

Our 2006 Sesaon

 

Sea Marks by Gardner McKay

Sea Marks tells the story of Colm Primrose, a lonely Irish fisherman blessed with ''a touch of the poet.'' Colm is discovered by Timothea Stiles, a lowly but ambitious Liverpool publishing-house employee who has been his romantic pen pal ever since they met at a wedding. After Timothea secretly arranges to publish Colm' s correspondence as a book titled ''Sea Sonnets,'' the fisherman moves to Liverpool to share his sponsor's bed and start a new career as ''the Irish Robert Frost.'' Under the direction of Nick Corley, this production features songs and instrumental music by Vermont's own Atlantic Crossing.

The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown

A fresh and contemporary musical from Tony-Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown, The Last Five Years chronicles a young couple's romance in a new and exciting way: her story starts at the end of their relationship; his begins on the day they met. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the heartbreaking and universally felt moments of modern romance. The Commons Group is proud to present this compelling work by the composer of our 2004 production, Songs For A New World. The Last Five Years is performed by Andrea and Piero Bonamico, with musical direction by Tim Guiles.
