“Fun Home,” 2017. Lindsay Raymondjack Photography.

Production History

More than 200 productions and counting… From world premieres by Vermont playwrights to provocative classics, from intimate two-handers to beloved musicals, we have spent over thirty years gathering together in the dark to make magic, to tell stories, and to share a glimpse into other lives. We are proud of this history and the community we have built together. We are also deeply grateful to the artists, audiences, and donors who have made it possible all these years.
