The Greensboro Arts Alliance and Residency (GAAR), sponsored by Highland Center of the Arts began its season of theater...streaming to your house!
The season started with Bernard Pomerance's brilliant "Hands of Light," from August 20-23.
"Hands of Light" is a re-imagining of the story of King Midas, who valued gold above everything else, including his family.
"Hands of Light" is cast with GAAR’s mission in mind: unite the great talents of local Vermonters with world class talents from all over -- a formula that has had great success for the last fifteen years.
100% of our net proceeds from "Hands of Light" went to to Aware, a non-profit organization that strives to prevent and heal the trauma of domestic and sexual violence.
