Ambition: Theatre is at its best when it both entertains and challenges the audience. We strive to produce ambitious works which allow for audiences to escape into other worlds, time periods, and perspectives while simultaneously encouraging our audiences to think critically about themselves and our present moment in time.

Wow! Last August, we were starting our travels through New England starting with their Annual Garlic Festival and came across this awesome group of actors! We went online and purchased our Premier seats for the show "Judevine." The cost of our two tickets were $ 102. Per their advertisement it was the First showing after a 15 year hiatus. And boy was it entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We plan on retiring to Vermont and if in this area we are sure to become supporting members.

Local professional theater company, bringing in some amazing regional talent and presenting first-rate productions. In addition to live theater, numerous other events include a film series, often with the director on-hand and a Q/A before and/or after. Growing nicely into their role as an exciting year-round cultural venue in downtown Bennington. If you haven't been, or haven't been lately, you owe it to yourself.

A Comedy of Tenors is hilarious from start to finish. There is not a slow moment, The humor is delightful, and so well timed. We met Max having a wonderful meal at Bringing Your Vermont the other night. A great guy, and so wonderful in the play , as was every artist in the performance. Costumes were outstanding! Casting was perfect. Set fun. This playwright is outstanding. Everything was superb. If you want an exciting evening if fun, DO NOT MISS the Comedy of Tenors.
