🎭 It Takes a Village to Raise a Curtain 🎭

Our 41st season is underway—and what a start it’s been! An Evening of One Acts (November 21–23) was a tremendous success.
✨ All four performances sold out.
✨ We welcomed two new directors.
✨ Many new company members joined us—some stepping onto a stage for the very first time.

That’s what community theatre is all about: creating space for new voices, new leaders, and new stories. And community is the foundation of everything we do.

Our actors, directors, musicians, lighting and sound technicians, and volunteers are your family and friends, neighbors and colleagues. We stage our productions in partnership with places that open their doors to the community — spaces that remind us what it means to gather, to listen, and to share stories.

In a time when it can feel like people are talking past each other, theatre invites us to sit side by side and witness something together. Empathy is built in moments of shared experience. Art has the power to bridge differences, spark dialogue, and rekindle hope.

We believe art isn’t a luxury — it’s the heartbeat of community. Our 41st season reflects that belief.

🌟 Our Mission

We create accessible, engaging theatre experiences that bring people together.
We hold open auditions.
We nurture developing talent alongside seasoned performers.
We offer affordable, high-quality productions that entertain, inspire, and ignite imagination.

Our 2025-26 season offers over 150 opportunities for our community members to come together, take risks, make art, and become part of the magic of theatre.

This year, we’re expanding access through “suggested donation” tickets and advancing our Access & Inclusion Plan.

The work is happening.
The community is growing.
But like any thriving village, it takes many hands to build something sustainable.

❤️ Join the Village

If our productions have made you laugh, or think, or cry, or feel just a little more connected, I invite you to help us keep this going.

A one-time gift.
A small monthly donation.
Whatever is possible for you.

When you give, you’re not just funding a show — you’re helping us build community.
One story. One stage. One partner at a time.

Thank you for being part of our story.

With gratitude,
Cyndi Cain Fitzgerald
Development Director
Vermont Theatre Company
