Opening this coming Friday (1/29/10) in the Freight Depot Theater at Hubbard Hall - Scott Hudson's Sweet Storm, directed by Dina Janis.

In this charming, slice-of-life piece set in rural Florida in 1960, two young newlyweds spend their wedding night in a tree house surrounded by an approaching storm as they struggle to understand each others aspirations, dreams and frustrations. With great humor and tenderness, this award-winning play and recent Off Broadway hit is a funny, powerful and intimate love story to challenge perceptions of marriage, faith and love.

Director Janis has served in the Drama faculty of Bennington College for the past 10 years. She has served as director and dramaturg for the Theresa Rebeck/Lark Writer's Retreat at The Dorset Theatre Festival for the past two years and will be acting Artistic Director for Dorset's upcoming summer season. Long involved with new play development, she has worked as both actor and director with Philip Seymour Hoffman's The Labyrinth Theater Company for the past five years.

Artist-in-Residence Update

Eric Conroe
I graduated from Bennington College in 2008 and since then have been living and dancing in New York City. For the next week, I'll be in residence in the Beacon Feed Studio, culminating in a performance on January 9th at 8, and a class on January 10th from 10-12.

It's been 3 days since I started my residency at Hubbard Hall in the Beacon Feed Studio. It began on the first day of 2010 and has been the perfect start to the new year. I'll be updating this blog with some pictures and thoughts about how the residency is going. Hope to see you at the show or in my class!
