Staff Picks via Seven Days
at Royall Tyler Theatre, University of Vermont
When The Normal Heart debuted at New York City’s Public Theater in 1985, it became the longest-running show in the venue’s history. The drama by playwright Larry Kramer struck a chord by addressing the AIDS crisis in America head-on, calling out individuals and institutions for their apathy toward the epidemic. The University of Vermont Department of Theatre presents the story of activist Ned Weeks — a character based on Kramer — as he fights to awaken the world to the seriousness of the disease. Representatives from Vermont Cares, a nonprofit working for Vermonters affected by HIV/AIDS, are on hand with information about their services. The organization’s executive director Peter Jacobsen participates in a talk-back following Thursday’s performance.

Dave's Corner 💭
I'm really enjoying the book Hackers & Painters by Paul Graham. It's a series of essays about startups, entrepreneurship, programming, and so much more by the founder of the startup incubator ycombinator. I highly recommend it if you're interested in the intersection between technology and business.
