MYSTI
MYSTI (the Maine Youth Summer Theater Institute) is planning ahead to summer 2009. Visit MYSTI's page for details.
AN EXCITING 2009 SEASON IS COMING SOON!
Please allow us to introduce our 19th season - the plays for 2009
In the Spring we will present "Waiting for MacArthur," written by P. Paullette MacDougal. This play tells the story of an Army nurse under fire in World War II through her letters with her mother, her teacher, and her best friend. Directed by Michael Brown, the performances will be on May 8th, 9th, 10th and 15th, 16th, and 17th.
Our summer show will be a musical, "70, Girls, 70," by Fred Ebb and Norman L. Martin, a wacky musical about a group of "elderly" retirees who start a shoplifting ring to save their run-down apartment building from demise. While making use of some self-deprecating humor, the play debunks the myth that old folks are helpless bystanders in life. Directed by Nancy Tintle ("Nunsense" 2008), performances are August 7th, 8th, 9th, and 14th, 15th and 16th.
In the fall Stage East is proud to present "Doubt," the cricially acclaimed play by John Patrick Shanley which won the 2005 Pulitzer Price for Best Play. This thought provoking drama examines how perceptions and reality can be interpreted in completely opposite ways, and the consequences of rumor in the face of moral certainty. Directed by Lou Esposito, performances are October 9th, 10th, 11th, and 16th, 17th and 18th.
Season Passes for 2009 are still the best entertainment value in Washington County at the low price of $26 for the three shows. That's a savings of $6 over the regular adult price. To order your Season Pass please send along a check to Stage East, PO Box 264, Eastport, ME 04631. The Season Pass will be mailed to you or you can pick it up at the first show in May. For 2008 Season Pass holders the price is just $18 (because we only presented two plays in 2008). All Friday and Saturday performances are at 7pm and Sunday matinees are at 3pm.
