PUTNEY — Sandglass Theater is celebrating the completion of our ninth Puppets in the Green Mountain Festival, where we presented inspiring theater to over 3,500 people, including about 900 school kids, over 10 days of a wide range of events.
We could not have even begun planning this festival, let alone produced so many shows, interviews, talks, and other events, without the tremendous help and support of many people, groups, organizations, businesses, and foundations.
Our deep thanks and appreciation go out to:
All the artists, technicians, and support people, who work for well below their usual rates to be part of this festival;
All the venues that not only made their facilities and staff available, but made us feel so very welcome, enabling us to program festival events with the least stress possible;
All the local businesses that supported the festival through advertising and donations, and by displaying puppets in their shop windows;
All our funders and donors, whose large and small contributions and unflagging support made the festival possible;
All the kind and hard-working volunteers, who did everything from parking cars and putting up posters to making and delivering meals, many of whom have done so for countless Sandglass events over the years; without their work, the Festival would have been a smaller, less well organized, and much less fun event;
All the community hosts, who very generously house and feed all the festival artists and technicians;
Sandglass's fabulous Board of Directors, who engaged in every aspect of festival planning and presentation;
And to all the members of our wonderful community who came out to see shows, take part in discussions and celebrations, and share their energy and opinions.
This festival is dedicated to all of you!
