Bread & Puppet will host our traditional Museum Open House Sunday, June 1st at 2 p.m. As always, this celebratory afternoon of performances, bread, and museum appreciation will mark the beginning of a bustling summer season at the Bread & Puppet farm.
The Open House will begin at the entrance of our Museum, where local singers will gather to sing songs in the “Shape Note” tradition, an early American sacred singing tradition with deep roots in Vermont, in four-part harmony. Next, the Museum will receive its ceremonial opening for the season: the museum guard will be woken up and reinstalled at his post for the summer. The public will be invited to peruse the museum.
In keeping with tradition, the middle of the afternoon will feature performances by B&P friends and guests with music and short puppet shows at locations around the B&P farm.
The afternoon will conclude with a brand-new Bread & Puppet show!
The show, says Schumann, is “in response to our totally unresurrected capitalist situation…our culture’s unwillingness to recognize Mother Earth’s revolt against our civilization. Since we earthlings do not live up to our earthling obligations, we need resurrection circuses to yell against our own stupidity.”
After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
