'Power and Love'

Theater lovers attend an all-you-can-eat buffet at Bennington Theater’s Power and Love, a smorgasbord of six work-in-progress plays by five playwrights. A small group of actors cycles through wildly different roles in these short nuggets of theater magic. On the menu are “Can’t Take That Away” by Stephanie Phelan, “Coffee With the Boss” by Michael Brady, “Giving” by Max Rissman, and “Shoes” and “About the Author” by Sky Vogel. Of particular interest to southern Vermonters may be “Bridge Theory,” by local student Addie Lentzner, which tells the story of the life and death of Thierry Heuga, a Bennington homeless man who died in February 2020.
