Maids at Bennington College flawed but intriguing
Bennington College presents Jean Genet's The Maids in a one act drama directed by Virlana Tracz. The production features two sisters Claire and Solange entangled with their mistress Madame in a ritual of imagined murder. Performances faced pacing design and diction issues though Solange's Jeremy Peterson stands out. the piece remains a chilling, if imperfect, tour de force worth seeing.

Arlington IBA grants two permits two amid three applications
The Arlington Board of Adjustment met to consider three permit requests and granted two while denying one. A variance for three apartments at the West Mountain Inn, requested by Harry Garvey, was approved as part of the complex rather than a separate building. Leslie and Raymond Cole sought land division in the Cedar Rock forest area to place a cabin on each parcel of a 15 acre plot, but Arlington zoning requires different conditions.
