The Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union hosted a community outdoor celebration, September 5, at Hazen Union sponsored by the Flynn Theatre. The outdoor street show, “Les Girafes,” was created by Compagnie Off of France. The show featured 26-foot red giraffe puppets constructed of nylon-like material over an aluminum and steel structure with puppeteers coordinating their movement. Playing Fields is a free annual Flynn-sponsored program in its fourth year of performing live shows throughout Vermont. This year nine shows were performed, from September 2 to September 12, across nine Vermont communities.
