Girl’s Soccer 

Congratulations to the Varsity Girls for ending their soccer season in a Championship Game! The Harmonyville Store dropped off a beautiful cake on Wednesday to celebrate the girls’ fantastic season. Rebel Nation turned out in droves to cheer on our girls and went wild when Abigail Emerson put the Lady Rebels on the scoreboard.


Mean Girls the Musical 

The Leland & Gray Players invite you to back-to-school when students present the smart and ferociously funny musical Mean Girls JR. beginning November 9th in the Dutton Gymnasium at Leland & Gray Union Middle and High School. Adapted from the hit movie written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls JR. tells the story of student Cady Heron who must learn to navigate the treacherous social hierarchy of high school when her family moves to suburban Illinois from Kenya.

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naive newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on “The Plastics,” a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.

Directed by Doran Hamm and Cassidy Majer with musical direction by Jeremy Kellett.

Performances are November 9th, 10th, and 11th. Thursday and Friday at 7:00, Saturday at 2:00 and 7:00. Performances are in the Dutton Gymnasium at Leland & Gray, 2042 VT-30, Townshend, VT

Tickets are cash only at the door. No reservation required! $10 general, $8 students/seniors.
