Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center’s annual Forest of Mystery takes a new direction

BRATTLEBORO — With the leaves turning color, the forests of Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center are ready to bestow their lessons to all who are willing to look - and listen.

There are changes in store for BEEC's Forest of Mystery. Performances of this year's play - Friday, Oct. 25, and Saturday, Oct. 26 - are under new leadership, as Jessica and Jay Gelter take the director's reins from Michael Nethercott, who is promoting his new novel.

This year's Forest of Mystery play takes the audience on a nighttime quest in which they encounter the mysterious “Green Ones.”

These beings, human and otherwise, are drawn from world mythology and folk tales: “They are the stuff of legends and lore. Their tales have been told since the days of yore,” Nethercott says.
