La Ru Chagrin

SUGGESTED DONATION $15 - Bald Mountain Theater presents La Rue Chagrin: Stories by Guy de Maupassant and Music by Germaine Tailleferre on November 12-14 at Spice Studio in Rochester, Vermont. For tickets to the live show - CLICK HERE

The lives of the two great French artists Guy du Maupassant and Germaine Tailleferre overlapped for just one year, but their works serve as perfect counterpoints. Guy de Maupassant is known as one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of its most skillful producers. His stories are famous for putting a spotlight on the foibles and meanness of upper-class society with blistering insight and wit. Germaine Tailleferre overcame sexism and abuse to become France’s most celebrated female composer.

Stories filled with biting humor, longing, and heartbreak, paired with live music and vocals embodying spontaneity and charm, are ideal fare for atmospheric November. Bald Mountain is thrilled to welcome performers Ruth Wallman and Susan Bushnell to the BMT stage, joining company members Ethan Bowen, Killian White, and Erica Furgiuele.

Bald Mountain Theater is a story-based company bringing short stories, fables, folktales and novellas to vivid life. Popular seasonal shows include KRAMPUSNACHT, our solstice celebration of light and dark, and There Once Was…, where we bring together thrilling stories and professional actors, musicians and designers for a one-week intensive. Bald Mountain specializes in producing innovative theater you won’t see anywhere else.

Performances on November 12-13 at 7:30 pm & November 14 at 2:00pm.

Tickets, available at the door and at baldmountaintickets.ludus.com, are $15.
