The legends of Native peoples offer an unparalleled gateway to cultural understanding, and this tale about compassion, kindness, and respect for others and the natural world is no exception. At this time of ecological crisis, it is all the more compelling. The Aboriginal performers of Kaha:wi blend the high standards of modern theater with traditional Native dance and inspiring music drawn from Iroquoian social songs in Native languages. Beautiful costumes, magical scenery, and gentle storytelling round out an ingenious performance about a people who have inhabited our region for centuries, and whose culture continues to thrive today. Links to Indigenous cultures and languages, natural world, oral tradition, symbolism, respect, and traditional arts. VT Stan.: 1.9, 4.6, 5.19, 6.5.

When ordinary citizen Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus, the resulting uproar helped launch the Civil Rights movement and changed our country forever. This powerful tale from Mad River Theatreworks weaves together great music and compelling drama to follow Rosa from her childhood in rural Alabama to her famous decision to sit down and be counted. Exciting and inspirational, Rosa’s story reminds us that the determination of one individual can make all the difference in the struggle for freedom and equality.
