Don’t Be Scared, It’s Only Shaw!

An evening of three humorous one-act plays by G.B. Shaw

If he were alive today, George Bernard Shaw would be hosting a late-night television show, taking aim at politicians, frauds, blowhards, and hypocrites.

The Middlebury Community Players presented three highly amusing one-act plays by Shaw, in which he aims his wit at blustering officials, pompous husbands, and restless wives.

Directed by Cheryl Faraone, Professor Emerita of Theatre at Middlebury College, the shows ran from Thursday, August 21 to Sunday, August 24, 2025 at the ART Black Box Theater at the Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury.
