Bald Mountain Theater presents Vlemk the Box Painter at Spice Studio, Rochester VT
Performances nightly on July 13, 14, and 15, at 8 pm; matinees on July 16 at 4:00 pm.

Can a painting be so true to life that it speaks? And, if that is achieved, is it a good thing? 

Bald Mountain Theater presents a performance of John Gardner’s story, Vlemk the Box Painter, July 13 through 16 at Spice Studio in Rochester, Vermont. Gardner, famous for his novel Grendel—which retells Beowulf from the monster's point of view—Filled with vivid supporting characters and a deep sense of whimsy, Vlemk the Box Painter also raises the question of what is art and what is love -- and are they compatible?

Performed by master reader Ethan Bowen, and supported by a surround sound design, Vlemk the Box Painter is an immersive experience in storytelling. Bowen jumps from character to character with his tour-de-force performance, driving the story with just the right tempo and expression to bring this honest and delightful story to life.

Bald Mountain Theater specializes in developing lesser-known folk and fairy tales into theatrical productions that surprise and challenge our audiences to see these stories in a new light. Our touring productions of Hansel and Gretel and Puss in Boots were met with enthusiastic responses in towns across Vermont. Our home base production series Stories You Should Know; There Once Was; and Solo with Sound at Spice Studio in Rochester, allow us to dig deep into the story canon.

Come and enjoy a perfect story for a summer night!
