After a 35-year hiatus, The Bread and Puppet Theater presents "The Christmas Story," a show first created by Peter Schumann in 1962 in Putney, Vermont. Various versions of this show were performed annually around Christmas until the mid-1980s.

Two performances only: 7 pm on Friday, December 20th, at the Greensboro United Church of Christ, and at 7 pm on Saturday, December 21st, at the Old Labor Hall in Barre, VT.

From a 1967 New York Times review "... a dramatization of the first Christmas that combined reverence and impudence exactly as they are combined in the medieval mystery plays. The scene is at once the holy land and super America; the time then, and now..… The approach may seem campy or sacrilegious. It is neither."

$15 suggested donation, at the door.

For the Greensboro show, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Hardwick Area Food Shelf.
