If you’re looking for traditional theater, Tune on a Distant Hill at Randolph's Chandler Center for the Arts isn’t it. Unlike most works conceived for the stage, Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble’s mélange of music, dance and words draws on regional folklore and interviews with locals, culminating in a bespoke theatrical experience that transcends the average play. Spotlighting central Vermont, the touring troupe's production spans stories of the fabled Northfield Pigman and social justice issues affecting the community. It also includes soundpainting — a spontaneous, improvised sign language between conductor and performer.

Price: $10-30 sliding scale.
