CIRQUE CABARET SPONSORS ARE NEEDED. As you may already know, UVCC is hosting Cirque Cabaret: a benefit show [Link] on February 18th at the Northern Stage Barrette Center for the Arts. All proceeds will benefit our programs and keep us going through 2023! We just purchased one more portable aerial rig (YEAH!) and have new crash mats coming soon, so we are on our way to a safer and easier setup in the coming year. UVCC is looking for sponsors to help us defray the costs of producing this benefit show (it is not free for us!) and realized we have many small business owners and employees already in our UVCC Community! SPONSORHIP LEVELS 2023 [Link] If you or someone you know would like to become a Sponsor for our Cabaret, we would appreciate it since we cannot do this without the generous support from donors. We have several levels of sponsorships, various advertising opportunities, and a few tickets to the show, depending on your level of support. There is something for everyone in e

Thetford Community Updates

Thetford community, Right now we are in turbulent and unprecedented times. This seems to touch everything, all the way from global events to here in Thetford. Our local governance is in the throes of change. We have three new Selectboard members who are valiantly embracing the challenge of issues they never dreamed of. To be fair, I didn’t realize in early March that we would be so thoroughly tested. We are in transition to the town manager form of governance - and during transition we also changed Town Managers. We understood from the exploratory process that this would not be smooth sailing – it’s been difficult for every municipality that’s made the change. Some of us have struggled with this transition more than others. These events, exceptional in themselves, are unfolding against the backdrop of a global pandemic, the likes of which have not been experienced in any of our lifetimes. Town administration has had to operate from a locked-down Town Hall under radically altered r

Bov' Water- A World Premier Play by Dartmouth Alumnae Celeste Jennings at Northern Stage

*'Bov Water* is a poetic journey following four generations of Black women wrestling to unearth a family’s past and build resilience for the future. After the civil war, a mother and a daughter search for family members who were sold or lost. In 1964, two friends lose touch when one abruptly moves North to avoid trouble. In the mid 70s, another pair of friends struggle to connect when one of them moves away to college and life changes both of them. Today, an artist tries to piece together her family’s stories through the silence. How can you honor your family’s history if you don’t know much about it? A stirring world premiere play at Northern Stage, *January 25 through February 12, *written by Dartmouth alumnae Celeste Jennings, playwright of *Citrus* presented in 2020 at Northern Stage. For tickets to *'Bov Water *at Northern Stage in White River Junction, Vermont, call (802) 296-7000 or visit https://northernstage.org/bov- water/. Tickets start at just $19 for students o

Fifth Business in Concert, Jan. 21, West Newbury

Fifth Business, live in concert, West Newbury Hall, Jan. 21, 7 pm. Heat up the night and our NEK neighbors, as well. By donation to benefit the Fuel Fund from the NEK Council on Aging. People are cold up north! Leaving songs about mate selection to the younger set, Fifth Business music addresses some of life’s more practical questions – what is the best way to save for retirement, how can we achieve contentment in today’s the political climate, and that perennial poser, what is worn under the kilt? It’s only art sometimes, but it’s always fun! Fifth Business has been sharing songs about rural living and problematic behaviors for over a dozen years. Their lively blend of original and traditional music has lent a happy note to farmers’ markets and town halls from the Upper Valley to Northern Vermont. It's a sizzle: Nick Anzalone’s genre-defying fiddle, Stuart Corso’s button-popping button accordion, Steve Davie’s expressive guitar and octave mandolin, with Heather Alger and
