National Theatre of Scotland “The Strange Undoing

of Prudencia Hart” Friday & Saturday, April 8 & 9 at 8 pm Sunday, April 10 at 2 pm

$35

“Terrific, inventive sense of fun.” —The Scotsman

The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, created by David Greig (writer) and Wils Wilson (director), is an evening of anarchic theater, live music, and strange goings-on as Prudencia Hart, an uptight academic, sets off to attend a conference in the Scottish Borders. Inspired by the Scottish border ballads—and delivered in a romp of rhyming couplets and wild karaoke—Prudencia’s dream-like journey is moving and amusing, with plot twists unfolding in and around the audience. The Herald raves, “You shouldn’t miss this show for the world. Rambunctiously life-affirming and touchingly beautiful.”

Evelyn Glennie & the CEL Orchestra Monday, April 11 at 7:30 pm

$40/$33/$25

“She took a drum and made it come alive with drumsticks that appeared bewitched.” —Shropshire Star

An intense and astounding live performer, Evelyn Glennie is master of more than 1,000 percussion instruments from around the world and has performed with countless artists ranging from Japan’s Kodo drummers to Björk. Profoundly deaf since the age of 12, the percussionist identifies notes by vibrations she feels through her feet and body, “moving from station to station with the litheness of a dancer” (New Zealand Herald ). Glennie concludes her time spent working with Vermont’s Community Engagement Lab (CEL) with this performance, as she performs both solo and with the young people in the CEL Orchestra.
