A Rafter of Crankies
Sandglass Theater's A Rafter of Crankies returns to Green Mountain Orchards for the fourth consecutive year! This year, we're also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Crankie Festival tradition at Sandglass. Performances will take place on Friday, November 29, at 5 PM and 7:30 PM, and on Saturday, November 30, at 5 PM and 7:30 PM. Once again, this event will be part of the Putney Crafts Tour over Thanksgiving Weekend. Crankies are panoramic scrolls that are “cranked” through a box, creating an experience reminiscent of an analog movie or a comic strip paired with a song or story. Together, they produce performances that are charming, often wildly funny, or strikingly haunting. While traditionally associated with Appalachian folk culture, today’s crankies embrace cultural, musical, and artistic expressions that are contemporary and as unpredictable as the weather!
