BENNINGTON, Vt. Bennington Community Theater presents an evening of show tunes, and "A Brand New Day! Broadway Songs of Hope" runs March 31–April 3, 2022, at Bennington Performing Arts Center. 

 

Featuring solos, duets, and ensemble numbers from the 1930s to modern-day musicals, the show highlights local talent. Directed by D. Mark Blank, with Music Direction by Richard Cherry, and Choreography by Kristi Segura.

 

"I can't wait to share the talents of this incredible cast with the community of Southern Vermont," said director D. Mark Blank, "The show was originally scheduled to run in April 2020, but after one rehearsal, we postponed due to the pandemic. We've wanted to return to the project ever since. The show consists of songs that in some way reflect an aspect of hope. It feels even more relevant now than it did when the idea was conceived two years ago. However, it is the cast, not the songs, that are the stars of the show. I believe that audiences will come away from our show inspired not by the songs themselves, but by the heart and talents of the performers, who are our neighbors and friends. We find hope in one another."
