SUMMARY:Castleton University Theater Arts Department Presents The IT Girl
DESCRIPTION:Castleton University Theater Arts Department pres- ents its spring musical\, The IT Girl at Casella Theater from Thursday\, March 23\, through Saturday March 25 at 7 p.m. and Sunday\, March 26\, at 2 p.m. at Casella Theater. \n\n\n\n\nBetty Lou Spence is a shop girl who falls in love with her boss\, initially winning him over because she has the illusive quality\, IT. When class differences divide Betty from her beau\, she triumphs by putting her sense of justice — and her special charms — to good use. \nInspired by the language and melodies of the silent movie era\, and based on the 1927 Paramount Picture\, IT\, the new musical offers today’s audiences a light-hearted escape from life’s complexities – just as silent films once gave to audiences in the Roaring ’20s. \nTickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors\, students\, fac- ulty\, staff\, and alumni. Tickets can be purchased or reserved by contacting the Casella Theater Box Office from Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at (802) 468-1119. \nView Online: http://castleton. meritpages.com/news/Castle ton-University-Theater-Arts- Department-Presents-The-IT- Girl-March-23-26/34048

SUMMARY:Dover Quartet & Pianist Haochen Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Concert Program In- cludes Brahms and a Newly-Commissioned Premiere by Marc Neikrug. The cel- ebrated Dover String Quartet joins forces with award-winning Chinese pianist Hao- chen Zhang at the Mahaney Arts Center on Friday\, March 10 to perform the Vermont premiere of a new work by contemporary American composer Marc Neikrug\, as well as Johannes Brahms’ Piano Quintet in F minor\, Op. 34. \n\n\n\n\nThe Middlebury College Performing Arts Series is committed to supporting the future of chamber music\, in part\nby commissioning new works. Marc Neikrug’s Piano Quintet No. 2\, subtitled “In Six Parts\,” is designed to highlight the virtuosity of each individual musician. This work is a co- commission with Music Accord\, a consortium of major presenting organizations throughout the United States. Performing Arts Series Director Allison Coyne Carroll feels that this new work is especially compelling for students to hear\, because it stresses the principles of harmony just as they enter a complex world where they’ll soon contribute their individual skills. Composer Marc Neikrug noted\, “It demands engaged emotional understanding and great ensemble. Because of the independence of the parts\, everyone needs to be aware of what everyone else is playing at all times.” \nThe concert by the Dover Quartet and Haochen Zhang will take place at the Mahaney Arts Center’s Olin C. Robison Concert Hall on Friday\, March 10\, 2023 at 7:30 PM ET. Tickets are $25 for the general public\, $20 for Middlebury faculty/staff and alumni\, $10 for youth\, and $5 for Middlebury College stu- dents. Vaccinations and boosters (or valid medical or religious exemptions) are required; masks are option- al\, except under certain circumstances\, but welcome. The Mahaney Arts Center is located on the campus of Middlebury College\, at 72 Porter Field Road\, just off Route 30 south/S. Main Street. Free parking is available curbside on Rt. 30 or in the MAC parking lot\, in rows marked faculty/staff/visitors. The concert will also be streamed\, with a 48-hour window for playback. Streaming tickets are $15\, or $5 for students. For tick- ets\, health and safety protocols\, or information\, call (802) 443-MIDD (6433) or go to http://www.middlebury. edu/arts.

SUMMARY:Rutland Welcomes the Return of Winterfest
DESCRIPTION:After a two-year hiatus\, Winterfest returns in full February 17-25 with events for all ages and abilities. Winterfest has been a Rutland staple for 20 years\, but what began as a 4-hour event one day in February has blossomed into a 7-day festival during winter break. \n\n\n\nThis year\, Winterfest is bringing back crowd favorites like sledding down Center Street\, Human Foosball\, and the Real Rutland Feud while adding some future favorites to the roster. \n“Winterfest has been a long-standing tradition in Rutland and after a year off\, we are excited to bring it back! Over the years the events have evolved and so many great memories have been created\,” says Winterfest event co-chair April Cioffi. “Spark some joy and come play at Winter Fest!” \nComing together as a community in this challenging time of year is incredibly important for mental and physical health and is the reason for throwing a big winter festival. Most events are free\, and some paid events are open to spectators for free. \n\n\n\n“Hopefully\, people are as excited and engaged as they were in the past\,” says Winterfest event co-chair Russ Marsan. “With new people and new sponsors\, Winterfest is undergoing a renaissance of sorts. There’s something for everyone to do: stuff for kids\, adults and families. This year\, there are 24 different groups including businesses\, nonprofits\, Rutland City\, and the Town of Brandon: a good group of people.” \n\n\n\nThings kick off Friday\, February 17th with a snowy story walk at Pine Hill Park. On Saturday\, Giorgetti Arena opens its doors for free ice skating from 5-7pm. On Tuesday\, Feb. 21st\, folks can sled down Center Street and play or participate in a game of Human Foosball. Teams of 6 compete for the glory. Registration is $50 per team and funds go to support Come Alive Outside. Spectators are welcome to watch the action for free. \nWednesday morning at 10am\, kids and adults can wear their P.J.s at the Paramount to watch a flick\, then join in the Great Bigfoot Chase at the Rutland Free Library at 1pm. Thursday evening at 6\, cornholers of all abilities will compete in a mini tournament at the Rutland Recreation Center. Friday night at 6:30\, bring the kids or a date to Skate with Bigfoot. The Loved Ones and Little Ones Dance wraps up Winterfest on Saturday\, February 25 along with the ever- popular Real Rutland Feud at 7pm at The Paramount Theatre. Tickets to the Loved Ones and Little Ones Dance are $15 per couple while tickets to the Real Rutland Feud are $30 per person. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.rutlandrec. com/winterfestevents\, call 802-773-1853 or email aprilc@rutlandrec.com.

SUMMARY:Film Noir Series: D.O.A.

There’s always a new caper to solve! “D.O.A.” stars Edmond O’Brien and\, as it says on the movie’s film poster\, it’s “A Picture as Excitingly Different as its Title!”  \nAll for free with insightful commentary that will welcome audience participation.
