"I just saw Lost Nation Theater’s The Tempest.
It was amazing. Find time to go - this is the last week.
The acting was superb, the costumes insane, and the whole production so well thought out.
Kim Bent is a genius. GO!"

- JANET WATTON, president emeritus, Chandler Center for the Arts

 

Central Vermont! I need to tell you: you will have to kick yourself if you miss the opportunity to see theatre legend and master actor Kim Bent play Prospero in The Tempest at Lost Nation Theater.
He’s brilliant, and you only have this weekend to experience this exciting ensemble piece with haunting and enchanting music by Kathleen Keenan.
-  Stoph Scheer

‘The Tempest,” one of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays, is a mystical comic romance. Lost Nation Theater’s colorful production, which opened Friday at Montpelier City Hall Arts Center, thoroughly enjoyed the romance and the comedy — but the magic was most delightful.

Lost Nation’s production, directed by Ann Harvey, delivers that magic and romance — and lots of comedy.
The physical production was impressive, beginning with an abstractly cave-like stage setting, given life by Kayo Tokuue’s effective lighting and Cora Fauser’s creative and attractive costumes.
Kathleen Keenan, Lost Nation’s producing artistic director, wrote and led the music, lending an authentic Shakespeare flavor.
The cast was delightful.
Lost Nation Theater’s “the Tempest” is a magical entertainment.
- Jim Lowe, The Times Argus
