🌴⚓️ WHAT A PARTY! ⚓️🌴
What a run. What a ride. What a LIFESTYLE.
We at New Bedford Festival Theatre want to say THANK YOU — from the bottom of our salt-rimmed hearts — for making our Welcome Home Celebration, JIMMY BUFFETT’S ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE, an absolute island paradise of a production. 🎶🍹

None of this sets sail without our incredible partners and collaborators:
🎭 The Zeiterion — our home port for opening those doors and letting us bring Margaritaville to life on your beautiful stage
🦜 The Nautical Whalers Parrothead Chapter — our people, our community, our built-in cheering section of flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts
🥁 El Caribe Steel Band — for the rhythm that made this whole town feel like the Keys
🦜 Mickey the Macaw — the real star of the lobby, no notes
And to every sponsor and local business who backed this show — thank you doesn’t quite cover it. Whether you gave a grant, hosted a giveaway, sold us a discount, or just showed up and cheered — you ARE this production.
To our designers and crew — the ones building sets in the dark, running cues in the wings, and making the impossible look effortless — you are the wind in our sails. Truly.
And to our apprentices — watching you grow, learn, and shine across this run has been one of the best parts of the whole show. The future of this stage is bright because of you. 🌟
We may be closing the Tiki Bar for now… but NBFT is never really “closed.” Check back mid-week to find out where we’re setting sail to next! ⛵️
Until then — fins up, and thank you for being part of the lifestyle. 🍋🦜🎭
