On Dark Nights Special Events at Lost Nation Theater in July
Three "One Night Only" Special Events - with Comedy, Music, and Storytelling Come to Lost Nation Theater in July
Since its inception Lost Nation Theater has been dedicated to showcasing other members of the performing arts community,
That commitment has seen many forms over the years - The New Works Showcase, Musical Tuesdays, WinterFest, Vermont Performers Showcase, February Frolics, are all examples.
In our 2015/2016 season, we combined all our special programs presenting other artists & genres under our new "ON DARK NIGHTS" special event series.
This way it doesn't matter when the event happens, or if it's a new work, a musical event, a dance, created by Vermont artists; when something is ready to happen it can! (It no longer has to fit into a prescribed time or type.)
"On Dark Nights" is not just an evocative title - it's an homage to theatre parlance. In the industry, if you don't have a performance that day/night, you are "dark" (no lights on.) So "on dark nights" we have the space available to help shine a light on other artists and projects.
We have 3 events in July!
