              Auditions for Spring, Summer and Fall Productions, 2012

              Auditions for the Spring production of Dixie Swim Club, directed by Barbara Wilson, will be help on February 4, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the director's home, 173 Water Street, Eastport. We hope to draw women from the Down East area and New Brunswick. All are plum roles in a play that addresses life challenges and celebrates enduring friendships.

              Production dates are May 4-6 and 11-13. This is a comedy about five Southern women whose friendship began on their college swim team and have endured through thirty-three years of annual reunions at a North Carolina beach cottage. Hilarious and poignant, the play traces four of those week-ends. For questions or to borrow copies of the script, please contact Barbara: 207-853-2697 or bjwmaine@gmail.com


              Auditions for the Summer and Fall productions will be held at Eastport Arts Center on Saturday, March 24th.  Auditions are open to everyone; no preparation or experience  necessary.

              Our Mission: “Stage East performs stories for and with the community”

              Stage East has been producing three to four plays a year in Eastport, Maine, for more than twenty years. It is an all volunteer organization, and anyone is welcomed to join. Membership is $5 a year. We are always looking for individuals who are interested in the stage: either in front or behind the curtain. If you don't want to take responsibility for a specific position in a production, we can always use people who are willing to put up posters (especially in the surrounding areas), paint scenery, and other tasks. Interested? Talk to us: either on Stage East Forum or send us an email.
              Season tickets are available by calling 207-853-4650.
              Stage East is a not-for-profit 501 c (3) organization, and as such, all donations to Stage East is tax deductible.
