Richmond Free Library

11:30 am July 13 UPDATE: The Very Merry Crew is here and is setting up so the performance will indeed be held on the library lawn and it’s going to be great! Bring a chair and just maybe an umbrella.

Vermont’s only touring company for actors ages 6 – 15 has been performing in Richmond from their portable wagon stage for many years. This year they will present an original musical based on the story of Moana Jr. which will delight the whole family. Bring your own blanket or chairs and a picnic lunch. Please note that the performance is on one of the days that Bridge Street will be closed at the railroad crossing while repairs are being made. Folks from above the tracks will need to seek an alternate route to the Library, so build some extra travel time into your schedule. In the event of inclement weather the performance will be held in Charlotte at the Very Merry Theater camp headquarters at Staige Hill Farm, 121 Garen Road. No registration required. All ages are welcome.

For the month of July stop by to see the work of Alexandra (Lexie) Reiss Haselton. Using water-based oil Lexie is drawn toward capturing the color and pattern she sees in the landscape and in daily life. She says, “I love the challenge of fighting my natural inclination to capture every detail in order to create work that is simpler, emphasizing pattern and color. My hope is for the end result to be work that is vibrant yet peaceful and of course constantly evolving.” This show will be up through July 30.
