• The Community House Theater
  Come audition for the Community House Theater’s production: “Snow Angel” by David Lindsay-Abaire, performing December 3rd-5th.
  
  "When the quiet town of Deerpoint, Vermont is hit by the biggest blizzard in 107 years, a mysterious girl named Eva steps out of a snow bank and into the lives of 15 confused teenagers who are asked to help her in her search. What Eva's searching for -- and who she truly is -- becomes a mystery that baffles, divides, and energizes the teens of Deerpoint. Told through journal entries and interactions among the students over the course of a single snow day, Snow Angel is a funny and eerie tale of teen angst, discovery, and the power of believing."
  
  More information about the show is available at www.playscripts.com. “Snow Angel” features an ensemble cast of sixteen teenagers and auditions are open to current 7th-12th graders from any community. Auditions are on Thursday 9/30 from 4:00 -6:00 pm and Sunday 10/3 from 2:00 -4:00 pm and will consist of readings from the script. We will rehearse Sunday afternoons and Thursday evenings throughout October and November, with additional rehearsals in the final week leading up to performances. For more information and audition forms and materials, e-mail director Lindsay Soson at CHTsnowangel@gmail.com.

  "Jeffrey" loves the science classes at The Community House. They are a great supplement to his classroom-based education, which always leaves him wanting more hands-on experiment time and instruction. This class provides him with that opportunity. I wish I had known about it the beginning of the school year!
