The Putney Historical Society then partnered with Next Stage Arts Project to convert it into a state-of-the-art theatre and performance space . Upon establishing the partnership , they embarked on a multi-year fundraising campaign . Their collective efforts resulted in an outpouring of support from private and public donors , including local community members , state-sponsored grants , and investments from nonprofit foundations . After raising funds for several years , they comprehensively renovated the structure , resulting in a magnificent performance venue that now hosts music concerts , theatrical performances by Next Stage ’ s resident theatrical company , the Wild Goose Players , and community programming . In addition to the main performance hall , the facility is also home to a professional-grade kitchen and an art gallery , which routinely showcases the works of talented local artists . Their Next Stage Cooks Program hosts cooking classes , monthly community dinners , and private events , and dance parties and film screenings are regularly hosted in the main performance hall , as well .
Down the street from Next Stage on Kimball Hill , Sandglass Theater offers a unique and thought-provoking entertainment experience that fuses puppetry with music , live acting , and visual imagery . Their original and collaborative puppetry productions have toured internationally in dozens of countries , and performances for children and adult audiences are regularly held in their 60-seat barn theater . Sandglass Theater ’ s performances explore contemporary issues in an inspiring fashion , provoking thoughtful and respectful discourse through the art of puppetry . Workshops , artist residencies , and intensive training programs are also held on-site . Their Summer Intensive Puppetry Training workshop is ideal for those who wish to hone their puppetry skills in a supportive environment , and in-person and virtual puppet building classes are available , as well .
