HARDWICK – The Flynn, in partnership with the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU), presents “Playing Fields,” a free community event to kick off the school year. The performance takes place on Friday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m. at Hazen Union School (126 Hazen Union Drive). Guests are encouraged to arrive by 5:30 p.m.
This monumental outdoor street show, created by French theater troupe Compagnie OFF, features a herd of five towering red giraffes accompanied by music and special effects. Inspired by clowns, vaudeville and circus traditions, Les Girafes transforms everyday spaces into magical worlds.
“This is the kind of event that brings entire communities together,” said Dr. David Baker, OSSU superintendent. “We are thrilled to offer an unforgettable evening of joy, creativity, and connection for OSSU families and beyond.”
In addition to the performance, guests are invited to make a day of it by visiting the Hardwick Farmers Market at Atkins Field (140 Granite Street), which opens at 3 p.m. to enjoy a variety of local food trucks and vendors before heading to Hazen Union for the show.
The “Playing Fields” is free and open to everyone. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs.
