"The Cream of the Crop,” the latest variety show from Vermont Vaudeville, is exactly what its title implies. As the Greensboro troupe explains on its website, “Put 1,000 jugglers, clowns, musicians and eccentrics of all kinds in a jar and leave it over night. In the morning, the best will rise to the top.” We’re dubious of the numbers — not to mention the science — behind that statement, but we agree with the sentiment. Vermont Vaudeville’s talented collection of singers, instrumentalists, actors, puppeteers and circus arts performers is among the finest in the state, with credits from Bread & Puppet Theater, Modern Times Theater and Moscow Art Theatre, among others. The group’s new production is sure to delight and amaze.
