Sally Sugarman, a longtime Bennington College faculty member and champion of live theater, died last Wednesday in Albany, New York. She was 91.
Sugarman, of Shaftsbury, taught childhood studies at Bennington College for 35 years and served as the founding director of the schoolâs early childhood center. She was the author of two books, âIf Kids Could Vote,â a study of childrenâs perceptions of politics and media, and âHow Shakespeare is Presented to Children.â
As president of Oldcastle Theatre Companyâs board of trustees, Sugarman worked to ensure that the company remained in Bennington after the Bennington Center for the Arts in 2011 elected not to continue to rent it space, according to Eric Peterson, a founder and former artistic director of the group.

Itâs 4 p.m. on Friday, which in late November means itâs almost dark, and the clouds above Morristown have gone pinkish gray against patches of soft blue sky.
In Johnson, 6-year-old Thatcher Clark is seeing different clouds.
âThe clouds are moving in different shapes,â he says over the speaker phone, less interested in talking shop, and his newfound prowess with pastels. âI see a cloud that kind of looks like thereâs a broomstick coming out of it.â
With that, Thatcher runs inside, leaving his mom, Ashley Creighton, alone outside with the phone. He probably left to recreate with his oil pastels what he saw in the clouds, she said. Heâs been doing that a lot more during the coronavirus pandemic. Heâs been reading the Harry Potter series, which might explain the broomstick in the clouds.

National trends often start on the coasts and move inland. Craft brewing first got big in Oregon, Maine and Vermont. Now it’s everywhere, and Maine is a major craft-beer state.
Another trend may have started in Vermont but hasn’t spread much, though it well might. And maybe it should. In the past two years, four colleges in Vermont have closed and two of the four state colleges have been merged into a single university.
