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.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

This musical runs from July 30 - August 9, with Thursday night tickets costing only $10. Tickets on sale soon.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported A GIRL IN SCHOOL UNIFORM (WALKS INTO A BAR)! We had a fantastic run & loved sharing this unique production with you.

We’re already in rehearsals for our next couple of productions, but wanted to take this opportunity to announce a slight change in our season: due to some issues acquiring rights, we’ve traded in Outside Mullingar for BOOKWORMS!

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. Set in suburban Dublin, this play will be under the direction of Irish theatre expert Michael Toner.

Performances will run from September 3-13. Stay tuned for audition info. 📚
