Based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, this play offers a tale of personal growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. Young postulant Maria Rainer is a free spirit who has trouble fitting into the rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as the governess for seven motherless children, Maria transforms the Von Trapp family home from a place of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy, laughter, and music. The classic score by Rodgers and Hammerstein features some of Broadway’s greatest songs such as “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.”

Tuck Everlasting, with music by Chris Miller and lyrics by Nathan Tysen, tells the story of Winnie Foster, a young girl in 1890s New Hampshire searching for adventure and friendship outside of her stuffy, old home. She finds this, and more, upon meeting the Tucks, a family with a long and unique history…as well as a big secret. Follow Winnie on this adventure that will teach her many life lessons and reveal to her the biggest gifts we often take for granted – everyday.

Taking Steps is a laugh out-loud, riotously funny comedy. Elizabeth, a former dancer, will do anything to escape the overbearing clutches of her rich husband, Roland, who is poised to buy a haunted house (a former brothel). The dithering, confused Kitty, reunited with her monstrously boring fiancé, will go to extraordinary lengths to elude his sleep-inducing presence. Add to the mix an inarticulate solicitor and a builder who is a motorcycle maniac, and you have one of Ayckbourn’s funniest and most heartfelt comedies.

Two highly accomplished jazz guitarists perform in a duo setting, performing jazz standards and classic compositions by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Dave Brubeck, and others. Cause TBD.

Draa Hobbs & John Stowell offer fresh interpretations of jazz standards and classic compositions by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Dave Brubeck, and others. In addition to their two-guitar improvisations on familiar songs, a unique feature or their shows is the presentation of obscure but beautiful Brazilian works by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim wrote over 400 compositions; but Americans have listened to the same half dozen repeatedly.

John Stowell is a world class guitarist with more than a dozen recordings under his own name. He travels the world over performing and conducting clinics in universities and conservatories. The Los Angeles Times says “Guitarist John Stowell’s style with standards is a delightful departure from the road well traveled. He transcends the label of jazz guitarist.”

Guitarist Draa Hobbs is well known throughout Southern New England for his performing and teaching. Over the years he has performed in clubs and concerts with the top players in the region as well as numerous internationally known musicians. He teaches at the Vermont Jazz Center, the Putney School, and Plymouth State University.

The Pine Hill Singers have brought outstanding choral performances to the local area for more than 21 years. Their thematic concerts feature an eclectic variety of music from classical to contemporary, Broadway to pop, and patriotic to global. They sing to promote social justice, musical excellence – and fun! Now 24 strong, the singers are of diverse professions, musical abilities, ages and life experiences. The close knit women from NH and VT meet weekly, and from this weekly collaboration they know the personal healing as well as the community connections found in the joy of music. “This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” This quote, attributed to Leonard Bernstein, has been inserted in their programs since 9/11.

Want to play with choral improvisation in a guided circle? Are you a confident, experienced singer — or maybe just beginning to find your voice — but ready to experiment! It’s powerful. It’s embodied. It’s bonding. It’s healing. It’s life-affirming. Some practitioners call it “my church”, others simply call it fun. There’s only one way to find out what it will be to you….

Circlesinging draws on traditions of chant, jazz and gospel improvisation, meditation and mindfulness to create one-of-a-kind choral improvisations. It is accessible to beginning singers, but also challenges and inspires the very experienced. The fundamental building blocks of rhythm, melody, and harmony are used in repeated patterns, creating music unique to the moment.

Don’t worry about “how to do it”, or that you don’t know yet if you’ll like it — it’s easy to learn, yet endlessly challenging and changing. No harm done if you come & decide it’s not for you — and a world of joyful play to gain if it starts your heart singing!

Random quote: “I was tired before venturing out last night.  I am so glad I decided to go! It was energizing, freeing and FUN!!  It was so great to sing in a more relaxed, creative way!” — circlesinging participant

Clara’s Dream, a nutcracker story

The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit. Funny, heartwarming, and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism. Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Whoville when he runs out of food. Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter, and louder celebrations. When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas. To do so, he decides to pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh. Meanwhile, down in Whoville, Cindy-Lou Who, a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer, plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother. As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheme threatens to collide with the Grinch’s more nefarious one. Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus? Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all?

One of the Upper Valley’s most popular holiday traditions for the whole family since 1975, The Christmas Revels is coming to the Lebanon Opera House for the first time!

In a small town in Northern England during the Industrial Revolution, workers at the textile mill are eager for the Christmas holiday. The factory owner, none-too-pleased with the festive mood, brings his workers back to the reality of life inside the factory walls. Despite his controlling presence, and with help from the hands of Fate, this hopeful and resilient community is able to celebrate the season in Revels North’s raucous, romantic, and inspiring 45th Christmas Revels.

The Christmas Revels is presented annually by Revels North, a non-profit organization based in the Upper Valley that throughout the year brings to life traditional music, dance and stories that span the centuries and the world. Recent productions of The Christmas Revels have featured the stories, music and traditions of Scandinavia, Québec, Scotland, Appalachia, Venice, and Ireland.

The Christmas Revels is presented annually by Revels North, a non-profit organization based in the Upper Valley that throughout the year brings to life traditional music, dance and stories that span the centuries and the world. Recent productions of The Christmas Revels have featured the stories, music and traditions of Scandinavia, Québec, Scotland, Appalachia, Venice, and Ireland.

One of the Upper Valley’s most popular holiday traditions for the whole family since 1975, The Christmas Revels is coming to the Lebanon Opera House for the first time!

In a small town in Northern England during the Industrial Revolution, workers at the textile mill are eager for the Christmas holiday. The factory owner, none-too-pleased with the festive mood, brings his workers back to the reality of life inside the factory walls. Despite his controlling presence, and with help from the hands of Fate, this hopeful and resilient community is able to celebrate the season in Revels North’s raucous, romantic, and inspiring 45th Christmas Revels.

The Christmas Revels:

Taking Steps is a laugh out-loud, riotously funny comedy. Elizabeth, a former dancer, will do anything to escape the overbearing clutches of her rich husband, Roland, who is poised to buy a haunted house (a former brothel). The dithering, confused Kitty, reunited with her monstrously boring fiancé, will go to extraordinary lengths to elude his sleep-inducing presence. Add to the mix an inarticulate solicitor and a builder who is a motorcycle maniac, and you have one of Ayckbourn’s funniest and most heartfelt comedies.
