This month’s Book Club hostess Ann is struggling to stay calm, desperate to deliver the perfect evening of literary classics and late-night canapés. But when the all-female group invite their husbands to join the club, and a mysterious figure pays a visit from an upstairs room, everyone is forced to contend with a lot more than just Virginia Woolf. Opinions are challenged, suspicions aroused, and tempers flare as their daily lives unravel into a saga to rival even the most outrageous fiction.

This is your sign to head out the door & come see the final performance of our 2026 MAINE PLAYWRIGHTS ONE ACT FESTIVAL today at 2:00pm!

While each production offers a distinct story and style, the directors have found common threads running throughout the festival. Themes of resilience, survival, memory, imagination, and human connection emerge across the four plays, creating an afternoon that is both entertaining and reflective - AND air conditioned! ❄️

Tickets are available at the door starting one hour prior to showtime or on our website (link in comments).

Actress Eva Le Gallienne faces her first press conference after the fire that almost killed her and the scandal of her girlfriend's divorce. A photographer’s flashbulb triggers a post-traumatic response, and Eva’s public persona unravels as the shocking memories overwhelm her narrative.

This production examines the invisible wounds left by tragedy and the courage it takes to face them. We dedicate this performance to all those affected by the recent fire in Searsmont, honoring those we lost and holding in our hearts those who continue to heal. May this evening serve as a reminder of the strength, resilience, and compassion found within our community.

Written by Carolyn Gage of Southwest Harbor, ME. Directed by Gwyneth Sauvage.

At the place where Heaven and Earth meet, there is a projection booth. In it, a Very Important Projector is in the process of breaking down, and a very unimportant projectionist is about to have the most universal experience of all: an existential crisis of astronomical proportion - or, as it is more commonly known, “calling I.T. for help.”

Written by Keaton Harper of Limerick, ME. Directed by Maci Burgess.
