Using state-of-the art tricks of cinema magic, OCM will create a visually stunning landscape for our filmed production of Bernstein’s Candide. Doug Anderson directs a cast of OCM favorites, including Joshua Jeremiah (Macbeth, Gianni Schicchi), Cree Carrico (A Streetcar Named Desire, Cendrillon), and in the title role, Middlebury College graduate Quinn Bernegger (Les Misérables). Former Governor of Vermont Jim Douglas will play the comic and witty Narrator. The OCM orchestra will be conducted by Music Director Michael Sakir (Il Trittico, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cendrillon).

OCM’s streaming film of Candide has thrilled people all over the world, and we’re happy to announce that it’s returning for two nights on the big screen at Town Hall Theater.
