After more than a year in the shadows, local professional theaters are now moving into the light â some of them, literally outdoors. Below is a roundup of the opening shows for southwest Vermontâs three stage companies, all during the coming week.
âLaughing Wildâ
Dorset Theatre Festival kicks off its 44th season with a revival of Christopher Durangâs comedy âLaughing Wild,â to be staged outdoors at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester.
Directed by the Festivalâs resident artist, Jade King Carroll, the play will star Dan Butler, who had audiences in stiches in Dorsetâs 2019 hit comedy âSlow Food.â Joining Butler on stage is five-time Dorset performer and 2020 Drama Desk Award-winner Mary Bacon, who has a string of Festival shows to her credit.
