Sunapee Happenings
Full moon, eclipse, retrograde! The lingering days of spring weather brought to mind Dorothy’s exclamation in Wizard of Oz… “lions and tigers and bears, oh my,” neither makes sense. But like that wizard, the skies have been full of mischief bringing extremes down here to earthly realms.  The thermometer spiked well into the 90’s with searing sun and we were chugging ice water; then just as quickly dropped 30 degrees, clouds rolled in and we were reaching for hot tea as thunderstorms spit rain. Last Sunday, we happily celebrated fathers and the Summer Solstice and tho at times we thought it would never arrive… summer is officially here!

Each performance features four iconic favorites: the 1972 comedic classic Walklyndon; Femme Noir, a solo exploring the image of a fading starlet, the hilariously physical solo from the Empty Suitor; and their signature mindbending Alraune.
