Middlebury Community Music Center this past Friday staged “The Grunch,” a musical starring summer camp students at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society in Middlebury. Under the direction of Jen Allred, more than a dozen youngsters learned their parts, rehearsed the show and then played their roles. Here, Elliot Seay, left, and Emmitt Haselton get into their character. Independent photo/Steve James
