Latchis to screen Rocky Horror Picture Show

Wednesday, October 24, 2018 — Issue 482

BRATTLEBORO — Let's do the Time Warp again!

The Latchis Theatre, 50 Main St., presents its annual showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Friday, Oct. 26, at 10 p.m. Admission is $10.

Released in 1975 and featuring a slew of catchy songs, including “Time Warp,” “Sweet Transvestite,” and “Damn It, Janet,” this musical/freak show/cult classic/cultural institution remains popular to this day.

Starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is Rated R.

Critics have called it “a bizarre cocktail of sincerity and reckless abandon” and “a celebration of being unique and surreal.” Audiences at late-night showings around the world have made it a cult classic. Costumes are encouraged at the Latchis Theatre screening. For more information, visit www.latchisarts.org.

Spring water main flushing underway in Brattleboro

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 — Issue 812

BRATTLEBORO-Utilities Division crews from the Department of Public Works have begun spring flushing of the town water mains. Most work will be completed by Friday, May 2, with some daytime flushing continuing through May 9. Customers are asked to check the flushing schedule closely, as flushing causes water discoloration, low water pressure, and, in some areas, periods of no water. Water main flushing will occur during both night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Rep. Becca Balint has rightly called for a ceasefire in Gaza. Now it's time to make that call a reality. She should use her position as Vermont's sole member in the U.S. House of Representatives to pledge to vote no on any further funding for Israel's military in the absence of a ceasefire. Israel's military is escalating its bombing of Rafah, where more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinian people are seeking refuge. The United Nations is warning of mass atrocities...

Next Stage Arts in Putney will host an opening reception for an exhibition of paintings by artist Susan Brearey on Friday, Dec. 3, from 4 to 6 p.m. Brearey, of Putney, is known for her unique, iconic depiction of animals. As described in a news release, in her paintings “primal, totemic images take the place of the photorealistic details found in some other works of wildlife art. Animals become primeval shapes, rudimentary and almost featureless, set against abstract surfaces.” Her...
