On the heels of her recent production of Threepenny Opera, the University of Vermont’s Rachel Perlmeter announced she’s leaving the state. Her husband Ernesto Capello has been “wooed away” by Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, she says, “so we’re off to the Twin Cities, where I have relationships with the Playwrights’ Center and the avant-garde site-specific troupe Skewed Visions [both of Minneapolis].” One of Perlmeter’s original plays is entitled Wanderlust, “and I’m afraid it’s a malady I embrace,” she confesses....

There’s probably no DNA marker of theatrical talent — or any other skill — but there’s some reason for the adage, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Case in point: Adam Blachly.... Read more

When Henry Neuburger chaperoned a group of St. Albans high school students to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., a few years ago, he was moved, he says, but he wasn’t emotional. “That might change when it comes to St. Albans this week,” says Neuburger, secretary of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), Chapter 753, in St. Albans....

He focuses on just a few haunts: Burlington, Block Island and Gloucester, Massachusetts.... Read more

George Breisch Gonzalez, 35, can be found most cloudless evenings firing vases on the gravel apron outside the Burlington City Arts Clay Studio.

The medium of encaustic is both old and new. Some of the earliest paintings of Western civilization are encaustic funereal portraits from Hellenistic Egypt. But the technique — involving beeswax, resin and pigment — was so demanding and cumbersome that it eventually became a “lost art.” In the 20th century, however, thanks to improved technologies and commercially available mixtures, encaustic underwent a revival. Now, its popularity seems to grow each year.... Read more

Sometimes it takes a bunch of completely stoked twentysomethings to remind everyone that the Queen City, like, totally rules. University of Vermont students Connor Boals, 20, and Lily March, 21, are so enthusiastic about Burlington’s creative scene they’ve founded an online magazine about it. “We’re all just really in love with Burlington,” confessed March, the magazine’s art director, at the launch party last Wednesday night at Halvorson’s....
