Gould & Stearns to perform in NEYT benefit

BRATTLEBORO — Gould & Stearns, “the clown jewels of Vermont,” are reuniting for a pair of benefit shows June 28 for the New England Youth Theatre.

Peter Gould and Stephen Stearns, collaborators for more than three decades, present an evening of their work ranging from classics to new pieces, duets and solos, mime, clown, story, and song. You'll see your favorite skits and hear stories of how Gould & Stearns came about.

These performances offer more than fun for the whole family: all proceeds go toward the purchase of new parking lot lights at NEYT, where potholes and poor lighting have led to some complaints.

NEYT plans to fix up their parking lot to eliminate the potholes, and is adding new spaces. It's also installing energy-efficient lighting to save money and reduce the theater's carbon footprint. The theater estimates that, if it sells out both shows, it'll be able to buy two lights.
