Why does opportunity knock for some, while others can’t catch a break? And where’s the line between kindness and selfishness? Those questions loom large in this thought-provoking play about two teenage sweethearts who reconnect after 30 years. Mike is a doctor with a lovely home in an upscale neighborhood, and Margaret is an out-of-work single mom whose teen pregnancy led to dropping out of high school, and scraping by ever since. Their common humble roots and now radically different lives spark a fascinating, funny, and honest exploration of the ways in which class, race, luck, goodness, and the choices we make can shape our lives. Note: Mature language. Relates to goal-setting, choices, responsibilities, impact of economic systems, and identity. VT Stan.: 3.1, 3.5, 3.8, 3.13, 4.6, 6.15, 6.19.

Their new Flynn performance traces the changing imagery of the earth’s four seasons, illustrating the life cycle of plants and animals, weather patterns, and more. MOMIX continues their tradition of using outrageous costumes, inventive props, larger-than-life puppets, and mind-boggling movement to launch science into a whole new dimension! Relates to dance, plants and animals, seasons, and physical education. VT Stan.: 3.10, 7.11, 7.13. Sponsored by Flynn Friends at Wake Robin
