Bennington Performing Arts Center presents “The Great Rebellion—Bennington in the Civil War,” an original play about the Civil War written by local writer Bill Morgan and directed by Robert Ebert.

Although Bennington is best known for the Revolutionary War battle on the Walloomsac, many more soldiers from Bennington fought and died in the Civil War. This fictionalized account is based on historical letters written between the characters in the play during that time. Among the people discussed in their letters back and forth are Lt. Col. Newton Stone, Capt. Ransom Gore, drummer boy Norman Puffer, and Capt. Hamilton L. Shields.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children under 18. You can purchase tickets by going to bpacvt.org/tickets or calling the box office at 802.447.0564. This is an in-theater event at Bennington Performing Arts Center—The Home of Oldcastle Theatre Company, 331 Main Street.

COVID-19 NOTICE: Seating is limited to 46 seats and reservations are mandatory. The lobby and bar will be closed and masks are mandatory while in the theater and lobby area, with temperature checks upon entry. Run-time will be approximately 60 minutes.
