Wardsboro Curtain Call (WCC) is a small volunteer group of Wardsboro residents with a great interest in bringing entertainment to Wardsboro's Town Hall. The hall is usually set up in cafe fashion for the shows. Excellent refreshments are available, and most shows are BYOB (wine, beer). The 2017 schedule includes six shows - a variety of musical genres with something for everyone:
4-22 Sofia Talv
ik, Swedish singer-songwriter
5-19 Dance Party with The Wyld Nightz Band
6-17 Mister Dix, playing rock, funk, alt-country
7-22 David Olney, "Nashville's answer to the Bard", with Daniel Seymour. Hungrytown opens the show.
9-16 Neptune's Car, contemporary folk duo
10-13 Scott Ainslie, blues musician and historian
In 2016, the first year WCC began programming, three very successful shows were produced: a dance party with The MILES Band, a CD release show with Luminous Crush, and a concert with Sarah McQuaid. Before WCC began producing shows, the group's mission was to make improvements to Wardsboro Town Hall's stage area. In 2014, with lots of fundraising and very generous donations, plus being awarded a Cultural Facilities grant from the Vermont Arts Council, WCC was able to acquire, conserve and install a set of antique hand-painted scenic backdrop curtains. The stage area was cleaned and painted, and new velvet front draperies were purchased and installed. Kevin Sabin generously donated the sanding/refinishing of the stage floor. In 2015, WCC funded lighting improvements to the stage. In early 2016, Wardsboro's Select Board purchased new chairs and had the hall floor refinished. With all these improvements made, WCC was inspired to evolve into programming mode. Learn more at www.wardsborocurtaincall.net
