  • Ephraim Kishon, "Zieh den Stecker raus, das Wasser kocht"

    The German Theater Group at Middlebury presents satirist Ephraim Kishon’s “Zieh den Stecker raus, das Wasser kocht”, a hilarious take on Avant Garde art and what it takes to be successful in the modern arts scene. Come and watch young Raphael Schlesinger wrestle with his unexpected success as a “Möbelkünstler” while he desires nothing more than being recognized for his beautiful paintings of his girlfriend, Dahlia. But what would art history’s greats such as Rembrandt do in our modern times? —In German, with synopses in English available at the door.

  • Shape-Note Singing

    December 8th: Contact rosenber@middlebury.edu for details on location.

    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.
