PUTNEY — We went to see Wild Goose Players' production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music this month at Next Stage Arts in Putney and were completely blown away by this production. David Stern's direction, along with musical direction by Mary Westbrook-Geha, was flawless, and the actor/singer/dancers were, without exception, incredibly talented and convincing.

BRATTLEBORO-When Emilie Kornheiser first ran for state representative six years ago, I was so excited for the chance to have someone with her background representing Brattleboro.
