Winter (Solstice) Is Coming…
Town Hall Theater readies for the shortest day of the year with a series of fun, interactive classes based on the theme A Child’s Solstice in the Shire (inspired by Dylan Thomas) which will culminate in a ‘Solstice Pageant’ on Wednesday, December 21st at 4:00pm.
Flowing from the Town Hall Theater grounds to the Middlebury Town Green, performers invite spectators to bring their own lanterns and noise makers to add to the light and merrymaking!
Full and partial scholarships available; send inquiries to education@townhalltheater.org
