Going Up the Country – a staged reading at Lost Nation Theater

A staged-reading of a new play with music by Eric Peterson and John Foley (best known for Pump Boys & Dinettes). The show is based on Yvonne Daleys book Going up the Country which explores how the Counterculture (all those hippies, dreamers, and radicals moving up here in the 1960s -70s) changed Vermont and offers hope for America.
