NOTIFICATION OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CORPORATION:

This post is to notify all members of Lamoille County Players of a special meeting of the full Corporation on November 8, 2026 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. This meeting will be in-person only at the Opera House. This meeting was initiated by a petition of 20+ members of the Lamoille County Players, per our bylaws.

The agenda will be discussion of the requests in the petition. Those requests include proposed amendments to the bylaws regarding creation of a grievance policy, Board terms, and Play Selection restrictions. We will share how our current policies compare, and then discuss how we are approaching amendment of the bylaws. There will be some time for public comment and the meeting will observe Robert's Rules for recognizing speakers.

If you have comments you would like to share beforehand, you are free to reach out to me at [email protected]

Regards,
Augie Stevens, President, on behalf of the Board of Directors.

CLOSING MATINEE

The rooms are empty now. The voices that once filled them have fallen silent. But the words remain.

In the aftermath of the war, Otto Frank (Richard Mann) holds the diary of his daughter, Anne. Within its pages are the thoughts, dreams, frustrations, and hopes of a young girl who could never have imagined the millions of people her words would eventually reach.

Her story did not end when the doors of the Secret Annex closed.

And it is why we continue to tell it.

TODAY IS YOUR FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK.

FINAL EVENING PERFORMANCE

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that cost nothing.

During the Hanukkah celebration, Anne Frank (Rain Bickerstaff) surprises Mr. Dussel (Kris Johnson) with a thoughtful present as Margot (Drew Thoeni) looks on.

There is little to spare in the Secret Annex, but Anne discovers that generosity isn’t measured by what one possesses.

A small moment. A simple gift. A reminder of the goodness that can exist even in the darkest circumstances.

TONIGHT IS OUR FINAL EVENING PERFORMANCE.

The Diary of Anne Frank
7 PM | Hyde Park Opera House

One final matinee follows tomorrow at 2 PM.

EVENING PERFORMANCE

The world outside may have stopped making sense, but inside the Secret Annex, there are still lessons to learn.

Anne Frank (Rain Bickerstaff) and Peter Van Daan (Zach Phillips) continue their studies, holding on to the routines of an ordinary childhood.

Because even when the future is uncertain, there is still a future to hope for.

FINAL FRIDAY PERFORMANCE TONIGHT AT 7 PM

Only three performances remain, including tonight.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing at all.

For the residents of the Secret Annex, the hours when workers occupy the building below demand extraordinary patience and silence.

Otto Frank (Richard Mann), Margot Frank (Drew Thoeni), and Mrs. Van Daan (Keshia Gordon) pass the time as quietly as possible, waiting for the moment when they can move freely within their hidden rooms.

Every footstep matters. Every sound carries.

And every day brings another test of their ability to remain undiscovered.

Our final weekend begins tomorrow.

Sharing a room with a stranger is never easy.

Especially when one roommate is a spirited teenage girl and the other is a rather particular middle-aged gentleman.

Anne Frank (Rain Bickerstaff) and Mr. Dussel (Kris Johnson) discover that learning to live together may require more patience than either anticipated.

In the Secret Annex, personalities collide, tempers flare, and even the simplest routines become complicated.

There’s more humor in this story than you might expect.

Only three opportunities remain to experience The Diary of Anne Frank at the Hyde Park Opera House.
