This coming Saturday 08/03 is your last chance to see the world premiere of Standing in This Place: Growing Up LGBTQ in Vermont. A work commissioned by the Vermont Pride Theater at Chandler.
Vermont is known as one of the most progressive states in the country, due largely to the decades-long struggle of the LGBTQ communities and their allies. In this original Vermont Pride Theater commissioned work, written by Maura Campbell, a multi-generational ensemble of 15 Vermonters takes the stage to tell their own personal stories of growing up LGBTQ in Vermont. They are Stacia Bullock (Rutland), Carolyn Campbell (Bethel), Grae Frechette (Northfield), Keith Goslant (Montpelier), Tim Grenon (Websterville), Mark Hackett (Brookfield), Josh Huffman (Randolph), Nancy Manney and Gail Shorey (formerly of Brandon), Rae Merrill (Brookfield), Madison Messier (Burlington), MiddleburyPratt (Williston), Chris Roberts (Barre), Howard Russell (Hinesburg), and Kim Ward (Montpelier). State Representative Bill Lippert makes a cameo appearance. Directed by Charlie McMeekin.
On Saturday 08/03, Standing in This Place: Growing Up LGBTQ in Vermont will be presented at 7:30 PM, at Chandler Music Hall in Randolph. A talkback between the audience and ensemble members will follow, with a complimentary reception afterward.
The Music Hall is an air-conditioned space, thanks to donations of community members.
