On the B&P Farm

Since 1975, Bread & Puppet Theater has been performing circuses and pageants in the rolling fields, pine forest, and gravel pit amphitheater at our homebase at 753 Heights Rd. Glover, VT. The former dairy farm features multiple performance venues including our Paper Maché Cathedral and the newly opened Museum of Anti-Modern Art at 514 Heights Rd (one driveway West of B&P on Rt. 122). Performances run June through October.

Upcoming shows on the B&P Farm

September Shows

Sundays, September 13-27 at 3pm

Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet will present an indoor performance this September in the Paper Maché Cathedral: Morality Demonology.

Puppeteers are in a state of high alert. The commanders-in-chief of reality are not only assassinating truth but have declared war on the innocent everything of the world. Morality demons claim divine origin, govern the population with unidentified power, and oppress shamelessly and unaccountably with history-honored illegality. Under and oversized puppets now battle the insufferable demons and the tricks of political mayhem. The world, unaware of its upside-down situation, must be confronted!

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.

Please note that dogs are not permitted in the Paper Maché Cathedral.

Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.

Want to be in the show? Join is in the Cathedral each Friday at 3pm for our volunteer rehearsal.

Jephte

Thursday, September 17 & Friday, September 18 @ 7pm

Bread and Puppet presents “Jephte” , an outdoor performance set to an oratorio composed by Giacomo Carissimi in 1650. Jephte was created by Peter Schumann in 1974, and was performed only twice as part of the last Domestic Resurrection Circus at Cate Farm in Plainfield, Vermont. The show uses puppets, landscape, the stunning baroque music, and the harsh biblical story of Jepthe— the story of a general who sacrifices his daughter for military victory— as elements. More than a recreation of a 17th century oratorio, the show was a representation of the loss of the American soul in the Vietnam War.

Leaf Peeping

Sunday, October 4 at 2pm

The time is coming when we must celebrate the change of color in the Northeast Kingdom with our annual Political Leaf Peeping. Join us on Sunday, October 4 at 2 pm in our backyard with the sun, or in our barn with rain. Bread and Puppeteers past and present will regale you with a variety of cantastorias, hand puppet adventures, fiddle tunes, cranky shows, and shape note songs. We will put bread in your belly, garlic on your tongue, and political puppet shows in your mind. We will end the afternoon with a presentation of our last show of the season in the Paper Maché Cathedral. Be sure to dress warmly! The Museum and Cathedral are not heated!

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.

Please note that dogs are not permitted in the Paper Maché Cathedral.
