  • Love and Weirdness – the 31st Annual First Show

    Sponsored by:
    Theatre

    The First Show is a special production of the Middlebury Theatre Department – a chance for students who haven’t yet been on a Midd stage to take a shot at acting. This show is for those brave, bold souls who want to get up there and try something.

    This “set list” of scenes focuses on Love – and the clunky baggage that inevitably accompanies it. Love is fickle. It’s weird. It’s the best. It drives every meaningful interaction we have in this life. So, let’s take a good look at it. MWUAH.

    China’s Grey Zone Tactics around Taiwan and in the South China Sea
    China increasingly uses “grey zone” tactics - less than war but more than peace - to pressure  Taiwan and countries in the South China Sea. M. Taylor Fravel, Middlebury grad and Director of the Security Studies Program at MIT will discuss the evolution of these tactics, where they might lead, and how they can be countered.

  • young and old shape note singers together

    Shape Note Singing

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.
