Guilford Center Stage will hold open auditions for actors for their fall production, Agatha! in two sessions: Wednesday, July 30, 7-9 pm and Saturday, August 2, 10 am - 1 pm.  Directed by Miles Ledoux, of Springfield, Vermont, "Agatha!" is an evening of 2 one-act Agatha Christie plays:  "The Yellow Iris" is a radio play Christie wrote in the 1930s, which introduced the character of detective Hercule Poirot.  "The Thumb Mark of Saint Peter," which introduced her other famous detective character, Miss Marple, was adapted by Miles Ledoux from a Christie short story.  Julie Holland is production manager.

The show will be on stage at Broad Brook Community Center October 17-19.

No reservations are necessary to audition.  There are female and male adult roles in both plays in a range of characters from 20's to 70's in age, and one part for a female jazz singer (auditioners for this role should prepare a short solo, for example "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess or "Fever" by Peggy Lee.)  Although no prepared monologue is required — those trying out will be given scenes to read from the script — anyone who is auditioning for the two leads (Poirot or Marple) may prepare a short monologue from a play or story of their choice featuring these characters.

This production concludes the 10th anniversary season of Guilford Center Stage.  Auditions are held on the second-floor stage of the Community Center, fully ADA-accessible, with an elevator to the theater space.

July 28 - August 1, 2025

9am–1:00pm

An immersive and inspired workshop based program with a focus on PROCESS. We’ve kept journals, created storyboards, scripts, sets, incidental sounds… of course we’ve developed characters, scenes, monologues, mini-plays along with many many theater games and exercises. This usually blossoms into a performance if the kids are into it at the end of camp. If the “show” happens it’s a fun window into the worlds they’ve created during this week.

This class introduces the Tai Chi for Fall Prevention sequence starting from the very beginning. Regularly practicing the slow, rhythmic movements of Tai Chi smooths out stiff joints, improves balance, and promotes a sense of well-being. The class specifically improves balance and confidence in movement in a safe, easy-to-master program that one can do even seated, if necessary. This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)

You only need some comfortable loose clothing and a yen for adventure. You will find yourself in the company of welcoming neighbors enjoying oiling up their joints, rejuvenating muscle tone, and laughing some in the process.

In this two hour class, we will begin the process of two lacto ferments together: pickles and sauerkraut. Participants are invited to be part of the preparation and everyone is welcome to take home some soon-to-be ferments.

Feel free to bring your own cukes, cabbage, salt (and any additional spices) to ferment. Otherwise ingredients will be provided at cost. Please bring jars for your ferments. The workshop fee is by donation, but we ask that you help cover the cost of ingredients and supplies. This will be $10-15, depending on the workshop and quantity you take home. No one will be turned away.

Join us for a Kripalu All-Level Community Yoga Class organized by the amazing folks at the Guilford Recreation Commission.

This class is accessible to people of all abilities and experience. Kripalu-style yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that is a nonsectarian and nondogmatic vinyasa (flow) style class. Each class includes a centering pranayama (breathing exercise), warm-ups, asana (posture) sequences, and a final guided shavasana (relaxation). Modification prompts will be provided for those who would like to challenge themselves or those who would like accessibility options for their body.

Discover the mind-body connection, encourage stress reduction, and improve self-regulation and physical health. Guided by Lindsay Parise, a yoga practitioner of over two decades, who is excited to offer this community-based class.

This 60-minute class meets at the Broad Brook Community Center every Monday at 5 pm.

COST: by donation, suggested $10 ($5 for seniors and those receiving EBT benefits)

PARTICIPANTS: adults and children 10 and older are welcome, children need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the class.

Participants should bring their own mat and any props they might need, though a few will be available to borrow. Chairs will be available if this modification is needed.

At this time the cast of Agatha! is rehearsing.

Neighborhood Roots Food Collective distributes local produce and products directly from Guilford farms and from Brattleboro’s Food Connects food hub.

This class introduces the Tai Chi for Fall Prevention sequence starting from the very beginning. Regularly practicing the slow, rhythmic movements of Tai Chi smooths out stiff joints, improves balance, and promotes a sense of well-being. The class specifically improves balance and confidence in movement in a safe, easy-to-master program that one can do even seated, if necessary. This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)

You only need some comfortable loose clothing and a yen for adventure. You will find yourself in the company of welcoming neighbors enjoying oiling up their joints, rejuvenating muscle tone, and laughing some in the process.
