Stage 33 Live

Stage 33 Live Stage 33 Live is a 40-seat listening room that documents live performances and presentations. It’s about honoring the stage. That one thing. That’s not us.

Stage 33 Live is a welcoming, casual, scrappy (but well-mannered) nonprofit listening room in an industrial-rustic former factory with 40 folding chairs, run by chipper upstart adult volunteers on an island in the rural Vermont village of Bellows Falls on the Connecticut River bordering New Hampshire. Only original material written by the performers themselves is allowed. The room has mostly defin

ed itself as an acoustic folk/Americana singer-songwriter place, but we run jazz, pop, spoken word, rock, and more. Best way to be in the loop about what and when things are happening is to sign up for the email newsletter. Imagine a state-of-the-art, million-dollar performance center… got it? We’re also not a bar, club, or restaurant. But we’re not savages either – there’s coffee, soda, water, and snacks by donation. So many details: www.stage33live.com

July 1: Coal Miner's Daughter (2h 4m, 1980, PG) at the Bellows Falls Opera House, 7:00 PM. Coal Miner's Daughter is a 1980 American biographical musical film that follows the story of country music singer Loretta Lynn from her early teen years in a poor family and her rise as one of the most influential country musicians. Based on Lynn's 1976 biography of the same name, the film stars Sissy Spacek as Lynn. Tommy Lee Jones (with red hair!), Beverly D'Angelo (as Patsy Cline), and Levon Helm (in a terrific turn as Loretta's dad) are featured in supporting roles. Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, and Minnie Pearl make cameo appearances. Lynn chose Spacek to portray her, despite being unfamiliar with her films. Sissy ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the part. The film is considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and was selected to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry in 2019.

The History of Future Folk turns out to be unavailable in big-screen quality for the July 1 showing at the Opera House, so we're going to pivot. To something. Not sure what yet. (The Future Folk movie is available in full on YouTube though, so you can watch it on the small screen in the comfort of your own home.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2oKGSmr9oo

We'll let you know what's up when we know what's up.

Seems that Cambridge MA considers show flyers to be graffiti and writes tickets at $300 per violation. Five flyers? $1500. Good thing we had no intention of posting flyers in Cambridge MA.
