Events for July 26, 2019
Ongoing
Adventures in the forest are in store for rising first-, second- and third-grade youngsters. Campers tramp through the woods to find who lives and grows here, learn some wilderness survival skills, and discover what makes the forest a special place. We’ll play games, tell stories, hone our powers of observation and learn what the forest has to offer. Our woodland classroom — the new yurt — will be our forest base camp, and a Vermont-certified educator will be on the ground with the children. Bring a bag lunch and dress for outdoor play. Space is limited, so call at 802-394-7836 or email christine@merckforest.org to register. Merck Forest & Farmland Center is located at 3270 Vermont Route 315 in Rupert, VT.

Music by Richard Rodgers. Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein. Based on the play "Green Grow the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs. Original Choreography by Agnes de Mille. Directed by Reginald L. Douglas. On a beautiful morning in 1906 in Oklahoma Territory a group of intrepid pioneers are setting out to forge a new community, and young women and men are setting out to chart their futures. When Oklahoma! opened on Broadway 75 years ago it promptly revolutionized the American musical. Its stunning music, heartfelt storytelling, and richly poetic lyrics awakened audiences to a revelatory vision of America. This production celebrates Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, a musical written for America today.
