| Jan 15 - Mar 26 "Winter as Prism or Prison" at the Compass Center |
The conflicting emotions of how people feel about the winter season was the spark for the juried exhibit, Winter as Prism or Prison at the Compass Music and Arts Center. Here in New England, winter can be a long, cold endeavor that some find to be a magical time full of fun and striking ever-changing light, while others hunker down and pass the months indoors, waiting for the first signs of spring. Compass asked artists to present their take on the notion of winter as a beautiful prism of light or a prison one can't wait to escape. The juried exhibit includes work by nine different artists.
An opening reception will be held on Sunday, January 17 from 1-3pm, during which the Juror's Choice and two Honorable Mention awards will be announced. |

| Jan 29 - Apr 24 Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920 - 1945 |
The nearly 200 works in this exhibit showcase the spectacular craftsmanship and sophisticated design long associated with Japan, and convey the complex social and cultural tensions in Japan leading up to World War II. In addition to the modernism that signaled simultaneously Japan’s unique history and its cosmopolitanism, the exhibit also highlights the theme of the modern girl, the emblem of contemporary urban chic that flowered along with the Art Deco style in the 1920s and 1930s.
This exhibition is drawn from the Levenson Collection—the world’s premier private collection of Japanese art in the Deco and Modern style—and is organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia. Support has been provided by the Chisholm Foundation and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. At Middlebury it is supported by the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Fund and the Friends of the Art Museum.

| Shakespeare has been a prism through which American issues—revolution, slavery, war, social justice—have been refracted.

Shapiro is the author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare; Contested Will, Shakespeare in America; and The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606. Presented in conjunction with the museum exhibition First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare. Cosponsored by the Ilsley Public Library, Middlebury College, and the Vermont Humanities Council.

| Feb 5 Don't Look Back |
| Don't Look Back Rock On Film Series Friday, Feb. 5 When acclaimed documentary filmmaker D A Pennebaker filmed Bob Dylan during a three week concert tour of England in the Spring of 1965, he had no idea he was about to create one of the most intimate glimpses of the rock legend. Pennebaker's access to the legendarily private troubadour enables us to witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth, and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman), and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans, and press. It's a measurement of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances. Grossman's machinations with British promoters, Baez's hip serenity, a grizzled British journalist's surrender to the fact of Dylan's artistry, and the artist's own taunting dismissal of a clueless sycophant are all absorbing. 7:30 pm $10 |

| Feb 6 American Radical |
| American Radical: conversations with Elizabeth Cady Stanton Saturday, Feb. 6 In the Byers Studio Middlebury Actors Workshop presents a staged reading of a American Radical starring Kate Redway. American Radical is an intimate, astonishing and moving portrayal of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the founder of the woman's rights movement at Seneca Falls in 1848. American Radical uses Elizabeth Cady Stanton's own writings to reveal her humor, inner life and public battles. From Kate Redway, playwright and performer, "I was literally overwhelmed by the story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's life as a mother of six and her extraordinary ability as a writer and her glorious sense of humor. I could not believe that I had never known of her contribution to women's rights, rights I have as a woman today. So I began to create a play based on her writings. That play is American Radical." Kate Redway appeared off-Broadway in the world premieres of NOTHING BUT BUKOWSKI at the Samuel Becket Theater, WEST MEMPHIS MOJO at Theater Four and MISSING PIECES at the Ensemble Studio Theater. Kate Redway has also been seen in THEATERSPORTS at the West Side Arts Theater. She is a founding member of the sketch comedy group RUBBER FEET which has performed regularly at the Comic Strip in New York City. She is a stand-up comedian and appears regularly at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. She is also a professor of theater at William Paterson University. American Radical was written by Kate Redway and Stephen Rosenfield. Directed by Jane Mandel. "The story of a great American who advanced the role of women is masterfully brought to life by the pen and stage craft of Kate Redway. A must see." WFDU 89.1 FM 3pm Free |

| Feb 11 - Feb 14 2 Hilarious Comedies at THT! |
| Two Hilarious Comedies Lighten the Darkness of Winter Brighten the gloom and cold of February with two of the funniest one-act comedies ever written! The Middlebury Community Players presents Peter Shaffer's Black Comedy and Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound at the Town Hall Theater, Middlebury, Vermont from February 11 to 14. Thursday through Saturday shows are at 8:00, with a 2:00 matinee on Sunday the 14th. Tickets are $12 for the Thursday show, $17 for all other performances, and can be purchased at the box office, (802) 382-9222, or online at www.townhalltheater.org. Black Comedy, Shaffer's (Equus, Amadeus) brilliant take on classic farce, is the riotous story of the most important meeting of Brindsley Miller's career. A struggling sculptor, he finally has the chance to show his works to the world's wealthiest man. But moments before the billionaire's arrival, a power outage plunges the neighborhood into total darkness. (We, of course, can see everything.) Throw in surprise visits from the spinster upstairs and the antique dealer next door, the unexpected arrival of his fiancee's disapproving father, and his mischievous ex-fiancee's arriving with a determination to reenter his life, and suddenly the apartment is filled with schemes, mis-identifications, and near-misses as the characters grope their way, unseeing, toward catastrophe. The Real Inspector Hound is Tom Stoppard's (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Jumpers, Travesties) hysterical parody of the English drawing room murder mystery. Two critics watching and commenting on the premiere of a new play find themselves inexplicably drawn into the story, forced to become characters in a mystery where the stakes prove to be deadly. Bordering on the surreal, Hound combines ingenious plotting with Stoppard's trademark wit and verbal legerdemain. Hound is directed by Trent Campbell and Black Comedy by Kate Tilton, and feature talented local actors. Come join us in February for an evening of hilarious misadventures and quality theater. |

| Feb 14 Loving Day |
| Celebrate love, and the Supreme Court ruling that struck down laws against interracial marriage, at the Rokeby Museum on Valentine's Day. We will screen The Loving Story, followed by discussion and refreshments. The Loving Story is a documentary that explores the interracial marriage of Richard and Mildred Loving and the Supreme Court ruling that struck down laws banning such marriages. Loving v. Virginia is one of the landmark Civil Rights cases of the 1960s and has had a new life in the 21st century expanding the right to marry for same sex couples. When Richard and Mildred Loving married in 1958, they knew it was against the law in Virginia, but they never expected to be arrested in their bedroom in the middle of the night. Forced to live in Washington, DC, they missed their home and family, so they decided to fight. With the assistance of attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union, they took their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which decreed that "the freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men." The documentary brings to life the Lovings' marriage and the legal battle that followed through filmed interviews and photographs shot for Life magazine. Its immediacy derives from the little-known 1960s footage depicting the daily life of the couple and their three children while they were in hiding in a house in Virginia. |

| Feb 26 - Feb 27 The Opulence of Integrity |
| Christal Brown’s four-movement, evening-length dance work is inspired by Muhammad Ali’s career as a boxer, and his life as a social activist, public martyr, and human being. The performance explores the inner struggle for identity for men of color in the United States, with an intimate look at the trappings that continually prohibit freedom. Brown dedicates the work “to her father, brother, and uncle—who fought but did not win—and to her own son, whose battle has not yet begun. To be born branded by history, burdened by responsibility, and inspired towards greatness requires a committed heart and an opulence of integrity.” Tickets: $20/adults, $15 students (of all ages). A co-production of Town Hall Theater and Inspirit Dance Company, sponsored by the Dance Program. Buy tickets>> |

| Feb 28 Selected Scenes from Will, a New Play by Jon Glascoe '78 |
| Shakespeare’s Richard II is about the deposition of a monarch. Imagine the fury of Queen Elizabeth when she discovered that this very play was performed for an audience of traitorous soldiers the night before the Essex Rebellion—the famed Earl’s failed attempt to depose her. In Jon Glascoe’s new play Will, Shakespeare stands chained in the Tower of London, questioned by Robert Cecil and eventually the Queen herself, to determine his role in the treason. In the course of these examinations, Will’s whole life is revealed, from his humble beginnings in Stratford, to the glory of Hamlet. Join us for a series of excerpts from Will, performed by members of the Vermont Shakespeare Festival. Light Refreshments after the performance. Cosponsored by the Director of the Arts at Middlebury, the Council for the Arts, the Middlebury College Museum of Art and the Vermont Shakespeare Festival. This event is part of a month-long celebration associated with the museum’s exhibition First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare. Free |
