Shows are Wed. 6/27 - Sat. 6/30, Thu. 7/5 - Sat. 7/7, Wed. 7/11 - Sat. 7/14, with a Matinee Sat. 7/7. Life is made up of cross roads, and today three very smart sisters with very different lives who haven't been under the same roof for quite some time are coming together. That special relationship that exists in siblings is imparted to this moment of their adult lives. Like most family reunions, there is a lot of laughter. Not, at jokes, but at the foibles that make up real lives and living. You'll laugh a lot at this show, because real life can be pretty funny, especially if it is someone else's. But, you will also take away from this theater experience a sense of possibility, at what your own life can become. There is always more life to live, and you never know what's possible.

Stowe Theatre Guild Presents "Into the Woods"
We all know what woods can be like. . .especially when they are conceived first by the Brothers Grimm and brought to life in story and song by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. "Into the Woods" won three Tony Awards when it premiered on Broadway in 1987, and five Drama Desk Awards -- including Best Musical. When it was revived on Broadway in 2002, it won the Tony for Best Musical Revival. Why? It has a hauntingly beautiful score. Moments of wisdom and wistfulness and wicked humor. And, yes, revelations that remind us all of what it means to be parents and children, as well as the value of the legacies we leave behind when we make our inevitable exits. Sure, the sources are fairy tales. . .but the story offers a probing, realistic depcition of life's complexities. It is at once one of Broadway's most sophisticated and most playful musicals.
Times: 8:00pm with Matinees of the first act only at 2:00pm on July 22nd & 29th
Location: Town Hall Theatre, Main Street, Stowe

Wine Tasting in the Trapp Family Lodge Wine Cellar
We will be tasting new releases of Italian Prosecco, for inclusion on our list. Bill O’Connor of Baker Distributing, will be on hand to discuss the wines and answer any questions. Prosecco is Italy's answer to refreshing, well-made sparkling wine at a reasonable price. Made primarily in the district of Valdobbiadene near the town of Conegliano in the region of Veneto. Prosecco is the name of the grape that is used to make this sparkling wine and many of the best examples are 100% Prosecco. As this is a grape that is prized for its delicate flavors and aromatics, the wine itself is not made in the classic method made famous in the Champagne district of France. Rather, the Charmat method of sparkling wine is used to make Prosecco as the classic Champagne method would mean aging the wine for several years before release, robbing the wine of its freshness. The format will be casual, walk around with cheese and bread. The wines featured will be: Rive della Chiesa, Prosecco Colli Trevigiani; Mionetto Spa Valdobbiadene, Prosecco del Veneto; Martini & Rossi, Prosecco Marca Trevigiana; Santa Margherita, Brut, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene; Sergio Mionetto, Sparkling Extra Dry.

“Pedal for Paws”
North Country Animal League’s Century Bike Ride. The first annual Pedal for Paws event offers a choice of three classic bicycle rides through the scenic countryside of North Central Vermont. The event will start in Stowe at The Commodores Inn and travel through quaint villages and rolling farmland on a route strategically designed to avoid big hill climbs while still affording major views of the Green and Worcester mountain ranges and providing enough challenge to satisfy all levels of riders from recreational to seasoned road cyclists. Riders can choose from the 100 mile Century, the 60 mile Metric Century or the 25 mile Fun Ride. Each rider is asked to collect “pledges” for the event’s beneficiaries (the dogs and cats at NCAL). There will be a post ride barbeque at the finish.

Stowe Theatre Guild Presents "Little Shop of Horrors"
Ten years ago, Little Shop of Horrors took Stowe Theatre Guild by storm. Back by popular demand, this gleefully gruesome musical has Seymour, a down and out skid row floral assistant, craving fame and fortune after he discovers a mysterious plant with an unusual craving for fresh blood. The growing plant's demand for more, more, MORE is accompanied by witty parodies of sixties music and campy comedy you can’t help but laugh at. Between bites, the carnivorous Audrey II, named after Seymour's secret love, and the "Doo-Whop Girls," bring down the house singing rhythm and blues!
Times: 8:00pm
Location: Town Hall Theatre, Main Street, Stowe

You should be ashamed of yourself. But, mistakes are made. Poor choices. Now what? Kill again? Maybe, but maybe not. He might be found out. He might not get what he really wants. Of course, there is sex and money to consider, and happiness. Are they all one and the same? It all seems so simple some times. But, not in this show. This is NOT an Agatha Christie mystery. What starts out so simply becomes filled with twists and suspense. For something different, in your murder mystery world meet Edward. Who knows you might fall in love.
