THE CRAFTSBURY (now GREENSBORO!)  FUNNERY

​"Thank you for giving me the best two weeks of my year. When I came to Funnery this summer I was tired and stressed, I wanted to stay locked in my room and sleep for 100 years. When I left camp, I had discovered who I was . . . and I was stronger and confident and ready for a new start in life. "       
​~A Camper

​Sometimes a pandemic can yield an unexpected benefit. We took our Funnery online during COVID. So,we could join up with the Thespo Youth Theatre in Mumbai, India.  That was so successful, we made a movie about it. After camp, we collaborated some more.

​Last summer we had four Macbeths, and three Lady M's. No one was confused! Our audiences expect our role-sharing, and we love how it  strengthens our ensemble.

We're finding out a lot about
Miss Jean Simpson, the awesome woman who first brought Youth
​Shakespeare to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont—in 1923!
 We're making a movie about how our two traditions connect across time. Thank you,  Vermont Humanities, 
& the John Woodruff Simpson Library.
And thank you, Miss Jean,
for watching over us.
