The foliage this year was the best I've seen in recent years and the colors were truly spectacular. The hillsides were especially vibrant and we saw lots bright reds and deep oranges. Believe me when I tell you that I used every opportunity I could find to get out of the office and drive around and enjoy the views!

Weston Playhouse Unveils 80th Anniversary Season
|
 Vermont's Weston Playhouse Theatre Company is turning 80, and in anticipation of a remarkable 2-year celebration, it has unveiled the plans for its 2016 MainStage season in American Theatre magazine. Audiences can expect a line-up distinguished by groundbreaking partnerships, collaborations with major stars, and the Vermont Premiere of one of Broadway's longest-running hits. Producing Artistic Director Steve Stettler comments, "We've pulled out all the stops for our 80th anniversary, and this sneak peek at the four productions that will grace the Playhouse stage is just the beginning." Weston's MainStage will open with Man of La Mancha, in a fresh new production starring Treat Williams and directed by Wayne Cilento. Williams, whose stage and screen career was launched with the Broadway production of Grease and the film version of Hair, will return to the musical stage as Cervantes/Don Quixote under the direction of Tony winner Cilento (The Who's Tommy, Wicked). Performances will run June 28 - July 16. In an historic collaboration with Vermont's Dorset Theatre Festival and Northern Stage, Weston will produce Round and Round the Garden, the third play in British playwright Alan Ayckbourn's celebrated comic trilogy, The Norman Conquests. The three companies will share a cast and creative team in bringing the trilogy to life, encouraging audiences to follow the exploits that take place in and around an English country house on a summer weekend. Performances in Weston run July 21 - 30. Known for bringing the latest Broadway hits to Vermont audiences, Weston has secured the rights to Mamma Mia!, one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. Based on the songs of ABBA, the musical promises to be the feel-good production of the summer. Director Tim Fort (42nd Street, Les Miserables) reunites with choreographer Michael Raine (Guys and Dolls, A Chorus Line) to deliver this blockbuster from August 4 - August 20. Continuing its five-year commitment to American Masters, Weston celebrates Arthur Miller's 100th birthday with his classic drama, All My Sons. Award-winning director Mary B. Robinson (Weston's Copenhagen) will be at the helm of this Tony-winning play. As an American Masters production, All My Sons will include lectures, a statewide teachers workshop, school matinees, and a performance at the Flynn Center in Burlington, VT. Weston performances run August 25 - September 4. Excerpted and reprinted from the Weston Playhouse  |

Custom-Built  Vermont Saltbox
Londonderry, VT
$335,000
Built in 2000, this finely-crafted reproduction Saltbox is a joy to visit and the perfect spot to call home. It offers a mix of contemporary spaces and classic architectural details like pine floors, a pretty brick hearth and fireplace and a bright kitchen that opens to a wrap-around deck.
There are four bedrooms, including a spacious master suite, plus an expanded "nook" for a home office or private library (or whatever space you require). The full basement is great for storage or hobbies and could be finished to add a recreation area or family room. There is two-tier deck with a 4-5 person hot tub and a very nice, level front lawn.
Located at the end of a small cul-de-sac, this property offers a quiet, private place but is just minutes to town. Skiing at Magic, Stratton or Bromely is between 5-15 minutes away and you can enjoy paddling or hiking at Lowell Lake or Gale Meadows Pond.

Buddy Guy at the Paramount Theatre - It's rare to win a Grammy, and many consider it a great honor to even be nominated. Buddy Guy has six, and this year he collected something even more rare: the Lifetime Achievement Award.

His new studio album, Born To Play Guitar, features songs dedicated to his old friends - Van Morrison joins Buddy on the heartfelt "Flesh & Bone," dedicated to the late great B.B. King and Guy reminisces about the good ole days with Muddy Waters on "Come Back Muddy". Tickets and information at http://www.paramountvt.org/event/buddy-guy/.
