Event

Putney Vaudeville!

PUTNEY VAUDEVILLE is the creation of Rebecca Waxman, Bronwyn Sims, Patrick Donnelly and Peter Siegel, an ongoing showcase for first-class entertainment and community talent that wowed audiences in its first three performances last year. The event will include a stellar professional act, a rousing live band, assorted friends and neighbors displaying skills you may never have seen, and good-natured audience engagement. As always, refreshments will be available.

This spring 2015 edition of Putney Vaudeville will feature THOM WALL, as well as the versatile house band GASLIGHT TINKERS, a beloved local band as well-versed in afro-pop, funk and reggae as they are in Celtic fiddle tunes and Tin Pan Alley chestnuts.

THOM WALL is a Cirque de Soleil juggler known for his avant-garde performance style, cultivated through years of study and performance - including training at the New England Center for Circus Arts. A two-time medalist in the stage juggling world championships, and the reigning three ball juggling world champion, Thom is not just a juggler; his unique background of professional circus training, mime, and modern dance makes him a unusual commodity in the performing arts world. He combines dazzling skill, smart comedy, and time-tested Vaudeville theatrics for a show that defies the laws of physics.

Strong Coffee Stage is a Brattleboro-based professional company dedicated to creating compelling theater for local and international audiences. Founded in 2009 by Sims and Donnelly, Strong Coffee Stage combines movement, music, virtuosity, and humor to create innovative theatrical productions. In addition to performing, the company also facilitates periodic master classes in theatrical movement, acrobatics, clown, improvisation & acting.
