*"VOICES of the FALLEN"*
On Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11th, Bennington Players, in
association with the Friends of the Bennington Battlefield, will present
"Voices of the Fallen," with performances at 4:00 and 7:00 pm. History
becomes personal, as we hear the stories of some of our country's very
first Veterans, in this moving and powerful production.

“Voices of the Fallen” is a theatrical experience grounded in historical
research. Historically dressed actors will vividly bring to life people
from both sides of the conflict who lost their lives at the Battle of
Bennington, giving voice to those who did not live to tell their stories.

Among these are the Mohawk leader of the Native contingent that joined the
British on their ill-fated raid on Bennington (played by Mohawk actor
Steven Thompson.) Other characters include various Patriot Militiamen,
including one of the earliest Bennington settlers, the leaders of the
German and Loyalist forces in the Battle, a Black private in Warner’s Green
Mountain Boys, and a Brunswick lieutenant who was among the last to fall.

The production is directed by Ingrid Madelayne, and written by Phil
Holland, Ingrid Madelayne, and Peter Schaaphok, with original music by
Darrell Holovach.

The hour-long program will be presented at the Bennington Theater on 331
Main Street. Tickets are $15, and are available at *www.BenningtonTheater.org
