“Delvena Theatre Company’s production of Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks drew one of the largest audiences in the five years we’ve been offering adult programs in Burlington. I would highly recommend this production for other groups.”
-Janet Knudsen, Friends of the Burlington Public Library
“Our audience was captivated by the actors’ performances, and they thoroughly enjoyed the interactive aspect of the program. We received lots of positive feedback from our members about this presentation – and everyone wants to know when “Lizzie” will return! We are looking forward to hosting the Delvena Theatre Company again in the near future.”

"The Delvena Theatre Company's production of The Trial of Susannah Martin and Scary Stories of the Salem Witch Trials was wonderful. They helped to transport the entire eleventh grade class back to 1692 Salem. They even invited several students to participate in the witch trial. They answered numerous questions and provided extremely knowledgeable responses to all students. Students and teachers are still talking about the performance. We want them back every year.

Delvena's production of The Trial of Susannah Martin and Scary Stories of the Salem Witch Trials presents two well-educated actors whose performances seize audience in the grip of attitudes and beliefs not likely to be shared in the modern world. The actors transport the audience, through theatrical interaction, into the past of 400 years ago with great conviction. One is sorry when the performance is ended, but is equally relieved to return, somehow unsettled, to the modern world."
