Dreams
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
—Christopher Reeve
In 1994, when Vermont Stage Company was founded, a locally producing professional theatre company in Burlington seemed improbable, if not impossible. Now, as we enter our 14th season, our existence does seem to have a certain inevitability about it.
Thanks to the tremendous outpouring of support from this community, especially in the last several years, Vermont Stage has reached a level of prominence and stability that is truly astonishing. Many of our dreams have indeed come true.
But the dreaming hasn’t stopped. We have a big vision for our future. And we have a few wishes for right now. Take a look and see if you can help us realize our dreams.
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.—Arthur O'Shaughnessy
