A little about the show…

In 1952, the race to determine the existence of the double helix was at a fervent peak.

To round out the 2011-2012 season, Vermont Stage is finishing with William Shakespeare’s As You Like It! The show runs through May 6th at Flynn Space in Burlington, Vermont.

Last night was the photo-call for Vermont Stage’s latest production, Shirley Valentine. Here’s what Vermont Stage has posted about the show:

Originally produced by Middlebury Actors Workshop at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury, VT

Shirley Valentine was once an anti-establishment rebel, but now that she is a middle-aged housewife she finds herself suffocating under the banality of her suburban routine. When her best friend, Jane, wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to an exotic country, Shirley is given the opportunity to travel to faraway places and begins to see her future in a different light. Written by award-winning playwright Willy Russell, Shirley Valentine is a hilarious and poignant story about one woman’s struggle to reinvigorate her life.
