LOOKING FOR A WALL
We are looking for a wall on which to hang two to three hundred small paintings. Have you got the wall we want?

What is Modern Times Theater?
- Modern Times Theater
- Modern Times Theater makes puppet shows for the street, the school, the barn, the pasture and the subway. The shows convey a general dissatisfaction with post-modern convenience and promote a return to old-fashioned difficulty. Modern Times Theater is also part of the Vermont Vaudeville troup, performing Vaudeville shows in the Opera Houses of Vermont. We also double as the Plank House Band, a tasty little Cornet and Banjolele duo, playing the popular music of yesterday. Our corporate offices are on a small farm in East Hardwick, VT.
Shows we perform
We are working on a new kids show. Yes, puppetry is for children, too! If you know of a library or event that would like some real old-fashioned live entertainment, please contact us.
We currently perform two different Punch and Judy shows
In The Wonderful And Gruesome Drama of Punch and Judy, Puppetry's favorite Jerk and his loud mouth wife take a trip through the constipated bowels of the American food nightmare. It's Farm fresh gratuitous violence served up hot and crusty!
In The Jolly Banker, Punch and Judy purchase real estate only to have the Banker, Lawyer, Policeman, Judge, Congressman and God dash their American Dream to tiny bite sized cardboard pieces.
In our street show series: The Rural Person's Verbal Reclamaion Front, we reclaim various words from the icy grip of our post industrial empire and present them as a gift for the mutual benefit of Woman and Beast, Man and Pasture. To date, we have reclaimed the words Chore and Economy.
And don't miss Leo the Human Xylophone! After being struck by lightening late one evening while fixing the old church bell, Leo woke to find little bells stuck all over his body. Luckily he uses his powers for good, and not evil. Let him shake and jingle his way deep into your heart as he performs hits like "Ring of Fire" and "Love me Tender" on this unique instrument, the Human Xylophone.
Contact us to book any of these shows: moderntimestheater@riseup.net
Hi There! We'd be interested in having the Rural Person's Verbal Reclamation Front participate in our Local Living Festival, if the timing worked out (Sept 24, 2011) for you and we can get an idea of what kind of funding we'd have to raise. We're in the Potsdam/Canton NY area, the St. Lawrence River Valley northwest of the Adirondacks, about 2-1/2 to 3 hours from Burlington. We've heard wonderful things from folks who've seen you and hope we can get it together! Please check out our website if you'd like at www.SustainableLivingProject.net/local-living-festival and please then click on the link to see last years schedule -- we had 49 simple/rural living skills workshops and 63 exhibitors and demonstrators plus music and food and childrens games -- it was really fun. About 1200 people came last year for our first one. Hopefully you folks can be at our second annual? Thanks! Chelle & Melinda SustLivingProject@gmail.com 315.347.4223
