Sandglass Theater presents a series of special appearances and public workshops by stellar artists working in exciting interdisciplinary performance techniques. The Summer Series celebrates the crossroads of art forms and development of new works by professional and emerging artists. This year’s series will feature three performances and two special workshops. ‘The City That Slept’ is an imaginative puppetry performance by Tom Tuke that also features an original technique developed by Tuke: floating shadow puppets that glide across a pool of moving water, creating luminous images of motion and reflection. ‘Penelope in First Person’, performed by Keely Eastley and directed by Eric Bass is adapted from a book by Canadian poet Sue Goyette. The performance reimagines the story of Penelope from Homer’s ‘Odyssey’. The production blends poetic language, theatrical storytelling, music, and elements of magical realism. ‘Death and the Fool | A Medieval Folly’, presented by the ensemble of Happenstance Theater is inspired by medieval mystery plays and tarot imagery, combining puppetry, slapstick comedy, live music, and physical theater. The workshops will include a floating water puppets workshop with Tom Tuke and a physical comedy workshop with Happenstance Theater.
All performances and workshops are at Sandglass Theater, 17 Kimball Hill in the heart of Putney, VT, just off of Exit 4 from I91. No one will be turned away from Summer Series performances for lack of funds.

To celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra hits the road with Summer Festival Tour: America 250, bringing music to communities across the Green Mountain State. There’s nothing quite like a balmy July evening in the Vermont outdoors, especially when the state’s orchestra performs beloved favorites like Morton Gould’s American Salute (based on “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”), Aaron Copland’s Hoe-Down from Rodeo, a lively selection of music by John Williams and John Philip Sousa, and more. Music Director Andrew Crust invites you to bring a picnic blanket and relax under sunny skies to enjoy this cherished annual tradition.

What To Bring: A picnic blanket or folding chairs, sunscreen & sunglasses, insect repellant, water, and comfortable layers.

Food & Beverages: Patrons are welcome to bring their own food and drink.

Seating: Seating is picnic-style and on a first come, first served basis. Chairs and blankets are permitted. There are designated, well-marked areas for blankets, low-back chairs and high-back chairs. These areas reflect our seating policy to guarantee each concert-attendee a view of the stage.

Join us this summer for an exciting, new, all-day youth program combining the considerable strengths and history of the Hudson River Maritime Museum, now in its 47th year! The HRMM Voyager Program offers a truly unique, multi-activity, hands-on opportunity for young participants. Open to all skill levels, our Seafarers (9-12 years old) and Navigators (13-17 years old) will spend each day sailing for three hours, practicing boat building and woodworking for 90 minutes, and participating in other STEAM activities involving history, crafts, games, and tours on our solar tour boat Solaris, all while fostering learning, friendship, and adventure. Seafarers and Navigators will come together for a mid-day lunch onshore. The program is led by professional woodworkers, museum educators, and US Sailing Certified Instructors who help participants explore how STEAM principles apply in the woodshop and on the water. Classes are held rain or shine each day they are scheduled. We sail in light rain, but if thunderstorms threaten we stay ashore and do other activities.
