The Showcase is a great place to coordinate some block booking. It has become a tradition for several departments to work together to get a performer to Vermont for the week. Monday afternoon in one community, Monday night in a nearby community, Tuesday somewhere else, and so one. The artists love this and you typically get better prices. One group even coordinates a summer performing arts series for their day camps, where each community hosts one show during the summer and they travel around to each other's camp locations once a week. The possibilities are endless!
The VRPA Performance Showcase is held each year on the Thursday before Thanksgiving. Here is what you can expect at the showcase -- Sample 24 of New England's finest performers -- Musicians, bands, clowns, magic, comedy, storytellers and more -- Book with others and save $$. Block booking made easy -- A program book listing showcase artists, exhibitors & phone numbers -- Network with colleagues and hear about their experiences...this alone is worth the admission price. The 2019 Vermont Performance Showcase will be held on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, VT. Registration will open in July
The Showcase Program Booklet is a valuable resource when it comes time to book performers, it includes the contact information for all the performers.

Vermont is an “open” state, which means that all Vermont Senior Games events are open to all persons 50 years old and over and not just Vermont residents. Events are held throughout the year in different locations around the state. VRPA members partner with the Vermont Senior Games organizers to host some of these events. Gold, silver and bronze state championship medals are awarded to the first, second and third place finishers in five year age groups (i.e. 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, etc.) The gold medal winners become the Vermont Senior Games State Champions. Award winners qualify for the biennial National Senior Games. The next National Senior Games Competition will be held in Birmingham, Alabama from June 5-15, 2017.
For the calendar of upcoming events, go to the Vermont Senior Games website.
