Performers, lecturers, artists and other company will include:

  • The Boston Typewriter Orchestra is a local conceptual and musical performance group who explore the nature of office culture.
  • The Royal Frog Ballet is a puppet group on tour throughout the NE performing a beautiful shadow show about the Winter Solstice and a trip through hell.
  • Meredith Holch is a filmmaker from northern VT. We will be screening her most recent film about the situation of Mexican migrant workers in Northern VT agriculture.
  • There will also be a spattering of short, personal monologues throughout the event exploring the work our parents’ did, and the whole event will be followed by a work+union song sing-a-long.

Directions and other details can be found on the sprout blog.
