OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Drama and Music@Bennington present Eugene Onegin, a bluegrass musical by two-time Obie-Award winning playwright Sarah Gancher '01.

Directed by Jean Randich. Music directed by John Kirk. Choral direction by Kerry Ryer-Parke '90. Country dance choreography by Trish Miller.

In this potent mix of original bluegrass and country, hoofing, hijinks, and feverish young love, Gancher reimagines both Pushkin's novel and Tchaikovsky's opera. The star-crossed story plays out in 1940s rural Arkansas/1960s Nashville, where a girl who dreams of writing songs falls for a magnetic—but reckless—touring musician.

Performances take place in VAPA Lester Martin Theater on Friday, April 24; Saturday, April 25; and Sunday, April 26 at 8:00 pm.
