SUMMARY:Along the River’s Way
DESCRIPTION:This is a first time collaboration between Mad Arts\, Mad River Valley TV and journalist Tracy Brannstrom. \n“Along the River’s Way” is a storytelling project that formed as the ‘Mad Artist Residency\, 2024. This project documents the creative practices of various elder artists in the Mad River Valley. It culminates into an immersive multimedia exhibition of sound\, story-telling and visual projections during November and ends on December 13th. The art of storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human communication and has been an integral part of our cultural heritage for centuries. Today our communities are in crisis. The arts can restore this large feeling of social and moral decline in America and our Elder creatives can lead the way to facilitate social cohesion and belonging for everyone in the community. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor The Bee App and Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Waitsfield. \nReception: November 6\, 2025\, 5:30- 7 pm. \nArtist: Gary Eckhart\, Julia Purinton and George Shenk

SUMMARY:A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story performed by Willem Lange
DESCRIPTION:Beloved Yankee storyteller Willem Lange is back- for his 50th Anniversary – Live and On Stage (and livestreamed) at Lost Nation Theater performing his reading of “A Christmas Carol: a ghost story” by Charles Dickens. Lange uses the cutting of the novel Dickens himself used when performing the tale. Emmy-winner Lange’s tradition of reading Dickens’ Christmas Carol began in 1975. He always performs to benefit “The Haven” in the Upper Valley. In addition\, LNT will donate a percentage of its proceeds to Just Basics Food Pantry and Good Samaritan. The performance runs approximately 70 minutes without an intermission. \nCovid Safety Protocols: Masks are strongly encouraged. (Seating may be slightly reduced to allow for more patron spacing). LNT’s State of the Art Bio-Defense Air Purification “Synexis” System is also in service 24/7 keeping everyone as safe as possible. \nThe Flood made LNT/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. We appreciate your understanding during this emergency situation.
