Sandglass Theater exists both as a performing company and as a 
presenter of guest artists in our 60-seat theater in Putney, Vermont, 
and at other regional venues. Our Spring 
2008<http://www.sandglasstheater.org/calendar/home_season.html> Home 
Season brings you four weekends of the Voices of Community Series and 
Richard 3.5: Light Ruminations on Murder for two weekends in June .

By presenting the work of our colleagues we fulfill our mission to 
connect our community with many cultures and nationalities through 
the event of theater. Since opening our doors in 1996, we have 
presented over 50 guest puppeteers, musicians, comedians, literary 
artists and theater artists.


Artistic Statement

In the microcosm of theater, the puppet is a means of integrating, of 
pulling back together pieces torn apart from each other. The puppet 
is the embodiment of a world no longer ours, an abstraction of a 
memory, a dream which is recalled. It is other than us, but it lives 
through us. We grasp it, and in grasping it, it takes hold of us. In 
dancing with the puppet, we are dancing with our more secret side. We 
are integrating parts of ourselves.
