Spring Mainstage Theatre Production: "Antlia Pneumatica"
2026-03-25 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-26 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Theater, McCarthy Arts Center
“Antlia Pneumatica,” a modern dramedy written by Anne Washburn, explores friendship and grief through the eyes of a group gathering at a remote ranch in Texas Hill Country to mourn the loss of a friend they haven’t seen in years. The title of the play means “air pump” and references a dim constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. As the friends explore their pasts and presents — melding nostalgia, dark humor, and the supernatural — they discover that it may be more than the loss of a friend that binds them.
The play is directed by Angeljolee Carter ’26 and features a cast of Saint Michael’s College students. Scenic and lighting design will be provided by Professor John Paul Devlin, costumes by Professor Peter Harrigan and cast members, and sound design by Sam Waxman ’28.
Admission is free and on a first-come, first-served basis. The performance on Saturday, March 28, will feature ASL interpretation.

Off-Broadway SMC alumnus play in NYC
2026-03-26 12:00 - 2026-04-19 12:00
Timo McGillicuddy, Class of 1984, will debut his third play Off-Broadway this spring. Fanny, a fantasy in G—presented by OffBrand Opera in NYC—runs March 26–April 19.
This vibrant work of historical fiction explores the life of composer Fanny Mendelssohn, a childhood prodigy whose talent rivaled that of her brother, Felix. Despite societal pressures discouraging women from pursuing careers in music, Fanny forged her own creative path with determination, brilliance, and heart.
Though not an opera, the show is a spirited dramatic journey filled with beautiful music and imaginative storytelling.
Members of the St. Mike’s community—alumni, students, families, and friends—are warmly encouraged to attend, say hello to Timo, and even grab a drink together after the performance. Student discounts are available, so spread the word!
Buy your tickets here: https://offbrandopera.org/
Come enjoy the show—and bring friends, classmates, and parents.

A standout student‑athlete at Saint Michael’s College, Falkenbush ranks second in Purple Knights men’s basketball history with 1,431 career points in just three seasons and still holds program records for points (51) and field goals (21) in a single game, along with a share of the free‑throw record. An All‑America selection as both a junior and senior, he helped lead Saint Michael’s to a fourth‑place national finish and two trips to the Sweet 16, before being selected in the 10th round of the 1967 NBA Draft by the St. Louis Hawks.
Beyond his collegiate success, Falkenbush devoted four decades to teaching and 35 years to coaching, including serving as the first varsity boys’ basketball head coach at Colchester High School and compiling 276 wins in 21 seasons at Burlington High School, highlighted by the 1995–96 Division I state title. He is also a founding force behind Mini‑Metro Basketball, one of Northern Vermont’s leading youth basketball development leagues.
Falkenbush joins a distinguished group of Saint Michael’s alumni and coaches in the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame, reflecting a legacy that extends far beyond the court.
