A playful and thought-provoking celebration of authors and poets whose works have been banned, censored, or challenged throughout the centuries.

The texts and authors featured in our final concert have all been the targets of censors over the years – but they’re some of the most intelligent and beautiful words we’ve ever sung! Hear the works of Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Lewis Carroll, Madeleine L’Engle, Anne Frank, and others, set to music by Norman Dello Joio, Irving Fine, Eric Whitacre, and many more. Presented in partnership with Latitude 33 Booksellers.

-- We are singing two concerts and I'd love to see you there!

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
