Actors Bridge Ensemble kicks off a busy February — look for Arthur Miller’s All My Sons shortly down the road — with the kind of group-minded piece the company thrives on. David Budbill’s portrait of poor, rural Vermonters working through emotional extremes offers roles for a good-sized cast, including an omniscient poet-narrator commenting on the townsfolk’s human condition. Just as interestingly, producer Vali Forrister has overseen the transformation of the A.B.E. rehearsal space at the Neuhoff Site into a performing venue seating 50. Intimacy sounds guaranteed, and so much the better if the actors excel. Ross Bolen, seen in the ensemble’s Simpatico last spring, directs. Familiar names in the cast include Rachel Agee, Rebekah Durham, Ken Jackson, Alice Raver and Linda Speir.
