Step aboard for a hilarious, one-night-only reading of All Aboard for Fun: The Movie, a modern adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s long-lost local gem! Originally written in 1949 by the famed author of The Haunting of Hill House and The Lottery for the North Bennington PTA, this rediscovered piece has been lovingly reimagined by David Dubov-Flinn and Suzanne Wessler for a new era of laughter, community, and nostalgia.
Featuring a cast of colorful characters, mistaken cues, and delightfully chaotic rehearsal moments, this staged reading-within-a-play celebrates both the brilliance and absurdity of small-town theater. Expect a fast-paced voyage of witty dialogue, musical mayhem, and affectionate nods to Bennington’s past, all while supporting two local treasures, the Bennington Free Library and the John G. McCullough Library.
Join us at Bennington Theater for this joyful fundraiser that brings together our community’s love of storytelling, history, and humor. Come for Shirley Jackson’s wit, stay for the laughter, and help us keep our libraries and imaginations thriving.
