Sundays, July 13-August 31 at 3pm
The company presents Our Domestic Revolution in Progress, a brand new show in the tradition of the iconic Bread & Puppet Circuses that began at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont in 1970. As usual, the show will draw on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread and Puppet iconography to draw attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.
After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale prior and after the show.
Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.

If you bring your dog, PLEASE SIT IN THE BACK of the audience, at the top of the amphitheater, as far away as possible from the brass band and bring plenty of water (there is none onsite). Dogs are not able to attend our indoor performances.

Stardust
2025-08-21 08:00 - 2025-10-31 17:00 | Mad River Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street #2 Village Square, Waitsfield, 05673
The Mad Collective is proud to share ‘Stardust’, an exhibition about The Quantum World.
The Quantum World is one of uncertainty. One can’t really talk about where a quantum object is, we can only talk about where we might find it. Yet, our seemingly solid reality is built upon this tiny world of possibilities, stuff has form, the universe has form and we are solid.
This show looks at the behavior of photons, particles and mysterious patterns of quantum phenomena. It inspires us to think about the magic of the quantum fundamental basis to reality and asks us to be curious about where the human species is going. Artists open up to their interpretation of the immaterial while engaging with the scales of the unimaginable tiny to the infinitely large.

Bread and Puppet presents: Oh You Beasts Descendants
2025-08-22 00:00 - 23:59 | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
Join us in the Paper Maché Cathedral for a brand new, urgently-needed puppet show. Keeping the work up-to-the-minute, the show will evolve over the course of the summer.
In Peter Schumann’s words:”We human beasts, descendants of revenge and elimination gods, and of the gods of love who preach by killing love, how can we survive while our very own evil empire promotes incinerations and starvation warfare and supreme inhumanity is performed in front of our eyes? We, the numerous people here on the face of the earth, we occupants of not knowing where else to be, living in the jungle of beastly minutes, need Mother Dirt to rebirth our joy muscles, strip us of our horror inhumanity, and make water and bread of life obligatory.”
Every Friday at 7pm July through August
Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.
*Capacity is limited at our indoor shows*
