Transfixed!
When you’re magic, you can change all the rules.
Transfixed! takes place in a magical realm where wizards, witches, sorcerers, and unknown mystical creatures live with reckless abandon. In a nearby world, human beings extinguish any signs of magic in favor of normalcy and predictability. Young magicals and young humans alike struggle for control of their lives and the very rules of reality, all while navigating the pressures of growing up. In this tale of magic, coming of age, and rebellion, expect spell-casting, potion-making, and shape-shifting.

A musical melodrama written by NEYT founder Stephen Stearns and the beloved Brattleboro folk music icon Peter Amidon, Jack and the Devil's Three Golden Hairs is a mishmash of Brothers Grimm and classic vaudevillian stage antics! A conniving King attempts to thwart his daughter's prophesied marriage to Jack, a penniless peasant. But every measure he takes just makes the fated prediction seem more certain... until he comes up with a foolproof plan: Give Jack the impossible task of fetching three of the Devil's hairs from the depths of the underworld itself! Surely that could never be achieved... right?

A parable play with music and masks, The Caucasian Chalk Circle is one of the most heartfelt examples of Bertolt Brecht's work, which often strove to engage audiences rather than immerse them. In the ancient times of the Caucasus Mountains region, two stories converge: that of Grusha, the kitchen maid who goes through many ordeals to save the infant of an overthrown Governor; and Azdak, the corrupt judge who is charged with deciding whether or not Grusha must return the child to the woman who abandoned it. Directed by Sandglass Theater co-founder Eric Bass, with musical direction by Magda Sharff and choreography by Shoshana Bass.
This production deals with mature themes. Ages 14+ is advised.
