Bennington Performing Arts Center presents the documentary film:
“Whimsy: The Scot Augustson Odyssey”

This is an in-theater event.

You must have a pre-purchased ticket to enter the building.

Whimsy is a stylized and playfully constructed feature-length documentary about the life and work of Seattle's mercurial playwright, Scot Augustson. His shadow puppet theater is bawdy, whimsical and irreverent with a sense of heart. Whimsy draws the viewer into Scot's imaginative world, where they discover that self-doubt, loneliness and regret are his constant companions. Whimsy documents the production of Scot's latest shadow puppet creation “Shadow Odyssey”, described as “where the river Styx meets Route 66”, a hilarious adaptation of Homer's Odyssey performed in a circus tent. By blending elements of magical realism and fiction, the documentary relies on non-traditional story telling to evoke curiosity and create an atmosphere of spectacle.

Seating is limited to 46 people.
