SUMMARY:SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE
DESCRIPTION:by Jane Wagner for Lily Tomlin! Drama Critics and Tony-Award Winner!\nIntimate. Infamous. Incorrigible. LNT’s production will star Maura O’Brien and Stoph Scheer!\nThrough the eyes of a lovable\, eccentric sharp-witted “bag lady” with a heart as vast as the cosmos she ponders\, Wagner weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected stories.\nFull of a host of quirky characters\, Search for Signs celebrates a mosaic of humanity in all its beauty\, chaos\, and contradiction\, revealing the invisible threads that connect us all!\nMasks are encouraged\, not required.\n(LNT’s State of the Art Bio-Defense Air Purification “Synexis” System is keeping everyone as safe as possible.) \nThe Flood made City Hall’s elevator inoperable\, requiring climbing stairs to attend in person. The play will be available digitally to make the show accessible to those unable to physically join us. Since we cannot provide wheelchair/walker access\, please call us (802-229-0492) or email info@lostnationtheater.org to discuss alternative options for seeing the show.\nSPONSORS: The City of Montpelier\, Vermont Mutual Insurance\, Random Acts of Kindness Fund\, Eternity\, The Point!-FM\, Estate of Ted Richards\, The Mary Shriver Fund of the Alan Weiss Estate

SUMMARY:The Silent Type
DESCRIPTION:The Silent Type\nJune 5 – August 27
Reception: June 5\, 5:30–7:00 PM\nThis summer\, The Silent Type brings together artists and designers whose work explores the intersection of visual design\, natural systems\, and human culture. On view from June 5 through August 27\, the exhibition examines how patterns\, structures\, and processes found in nature are translated into typography\, sculpture\, projection\, materials\, and spatial interventions.\nThrough layered forms of communication—including text\, image\, and three-dimensional design—the exhibition invites viewers to consider how visual language shapes perception\, behavior\, and collective understanding. Both playful and intentional\, the works reveal the quiet ways design mediates our relationship with the natural world and with one another.\nFeatured artists include Tina Christensen\, Leslie Fry\, Michael Jager\, Susan Smereka\, and Elise Whittemore.\nAn opening reception will be held on June 5 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The public is invited to attend and experience an exhibition that reflects on the subtle dialogue between nature\, design\, and contemporary life.
