Modern Times Theater at the Gihon Valley Hall

Past event
Nov 5, 2022, 7 to 9 PM

Saturday, November 5, 7pm: Arriving from elsewhere, just in time for the show, veteran vaudeville entertainers Rose Friedman and Justin Lander of Modern Times Theater will present a million years in just under 75 minutes. "We're Not From Here" is a carpetbag of old fashioned amusements. Music, puppetry, and schtick. They will attempt to summon the ghosts from the attic to answer our most pressing questions, including "How did we get here?", "Where are we going?", and "Can't you do that somewhere else?"

Where: Gihon Valley Hall, 5503 VT Rt 100, North Hyde Park Village
When: Nov 5, 7pm
Why: Why not?! A portion of the proceeds help fund the restoration and revitalization of the historic Gihon Valley Hall and of North Hyde Park Village.

Suggested donation of $10-25 per ticket. You may reserve your tickets at the link below and pay upon arrival at the box office.

This production was funded by a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, and is intended specifically for presentation in small historic venues throughout Vermont.

Modern Times Theater has been making and touring puppet shows and variety acts, and creating public community events since 2007. They pursue a radically divergent model of art making, creating venues in unlikely locations, and revitalizing the historic, run-down, and defunct. Working in populist theater forms, they seek to reinvent and reimagine classic American entertainment.

Co-founders Rose Friedman and Justin Lander are a husband and wife duo, producers for Vermont Vaudeville and alumni of the Bread and Puppet Theater.
