Middlebury Acting Company will present a second biennial holiday gift, a pay-what-you-can production of Charles Dicken’s beloved story, A Christmas Carol.

Middlebury Acting Company’s Cutting Edge Staged Reading Series returns, with their third and final offering this season of provocative, relevant, intelligent plays, Straight White Men.

Their 1987 Mitch Easter-produced album Boylan Heights established them as college-radio favorites, and they went on to work with producers including Gary Smith (Pixies, Billy Bragg), Hugh Jones (Echo & the Bunnymen, Modern English) and Lou Giordano (Goo Goo Dolls, Bob Mould) on subsequent albums.

Today, the internationally celebrated, Raleigh-based alternative band The Connells  released an acoustic EP, reinterpreting four tracks from their acclaimed album Steadman’s Wake. The album, which was released in September to wide praise, marked the end of a 20-year recording hiatus for the band. Recorded at the bands practice space by long time live engineer Tim Harper (Alejandro Escovedo, Whiskeytown, Queen Sarah Saturday), the Steadman’s Wake Acoustic EP showcases the softer sound in which guitarist and vocalist Mike Connell wrote the songs while still highlighting the immediacy of songs like 'Steadman's Wake' and 'Song For Duncan.' 

Steadman’s Wake features eight new songs and 3 re-recorded versions of previously-released demos which originally appeared on 2001’s Old-School Dropouts CD.

The group has also announced their upcoming album Steadman’s Wake, which is out on September 24 via Black Park/Missing Piece Records.
