BURLINGTON — TURNmusic, led by Anne Decker, will present “Women of Aeronautics,” a world premiere of a multi-media work by Vermont composer Danielle O’Hallisey, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 2, at Burlington City Arts (second floor gallery).
Born in the weird light of the Aug. 21, 2017, solar eclipse, “Women of Aeronautics” is the product of composer/engineering professional O’Hallisey’s restless mind.
Says O’Hallisey about the piece, “This is not the story of all women who have flown, or have assisted in the complex engineering of processes to enable flight. This is a sampling of short stories, the soundtrack to a documentary sketched on the screen behind the ensemble. It is an invitation to the listener to learn more about the hidden history of women’s involvement in the STEM fields and aeronautics, and understand that we were flying long before the world acknowledged that we could.”
Waterbury-based TURNmusic presents chamber music of our time with innovative programming and excellent musicianship.
“Founder and director Anne Decker mixes her diverse musical taste and experience to create some of the most intriguing, thought provoking, and enjoyable music being played in the state” says Steve MacQueen.
Admission is by donation ($20 suggested); go online to www.turnmusic.org Burlington City Arts is located at 135 Church St.
CASTLETON — Castleton University presents “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead,” an Off-Broadway play that serves as an unofficial continuation of the lives of the “Peanuts” comic strip characters, at 7:30 tonight (Sept. 24), and 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, in the Black Box Theater.
After CB’s dog dies from rabies, he begins to question if an afterlife exists. His best friend offers no helpful perspective, his sister has entered a goth phase, his ex-girlfriend has been institutionalized, and his few remaining friends are too inebriated to care. After a run-in with the target of his friend group’s bullying, a friendship sparks between the two that tests the limits of teen angst.
Substance use, disordered eating, suicide, teen violence, and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that is in turn heart-aching and hopeful.
Content warning: strong language, homophobic slurs, staged violence, sexual situations, suicide.
Tickets are $10 at the door.
BRATTLEBORO — Winged Productions presents “Michael,” a contemporary mystery play Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, at the corner of Bradley Avenue and Putney Road.
The hour-long performance is at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and at 4 p.m. Sunday.
Conceived, written, and directed by Susan Dedell, with a score composed by Paul and Susan Dedell, and art direction by Finn Campman, this latest WP offering features artists, actors, and singers from the St. Michael’s community and beyond.
“Bringing a new vision of Michael the Archangel to our midst,” Susan Dedell explains, “the production centers on the life of Michael, the Archangel whose name in both Hebrew and Arabic means ‘who is like God?’ It is the name itself that forms one of the basic questions at the center of this new mystery play and that provides creative fodder to explore Michael’s role and persona.
According to Dedell, Michael became increasingly associated with the fight of good versus evil and as such became the patron saint and protector of various countries, military organizations, and rulers. It is therefore no surprise that so many churches, cities, institutions, and people have been named after Michael.
Admission is free, but donations will be appreciated; call 802-254-6048 or email dedellsusan@gmail.com. Masking is encouraged.
