This weekend, the Community Little Theatre in Auburn is the place to be for the best kind of Christmas show filled with songs, stories, and holiday cheer! The show will feature talented local performers and is packed with festive music and performances.
I am also singing in the show and I couldn't be more honored to be a part of it.
The show will surely get you in the holiday spirit. But that's not all, because there’s even more fun to be had with raffles, a visit from Santa, and a delicious holiday bake sale!
Doors will open 6:50pm, 40 minutes early so that you can take pictures in front of the decorated stage, take part in the baked goods, raffles, and Santa!
The show is taking place this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., but there's something extra special about tonight's dress rehearsal. No, it's not open to the public but I have to share with you what Mission Working Dogs of Maine will be doing.

A huge thank you to Seth Vlahakos from Modern Woodmen of America who gave us matching funds for the auction our youth theater camp programs did over the summer! This donation to help our summer programs made it possible for the youth and teen camps to go on, as well as allowing students who may not initially be able to afford camp, attend it!
Each year, the camp programs take in several students from all around the Lewiston/Auburn Area. Our youth and teen summer camp programs include training in auditions, improvisation, choreography, music, and technical theatre, concluding with a full staged production. Students learn skills that they can take with them to other theaters, and into their personal and professional lives.

Immediately after the Sunday, October 27th, 2024, matinee performance of the musical 1776, the 27 cast members lined up on a row of chairs that filled the length of the stage, and participated in a question-and-answer session with the audience. Audience members were fascinated to hear stories about the real people that the play’s characters were based on, the result of research done by the individual cast members. For example, they learned that we have Judge Wilson (played by Dan Kane) to thank for the Electoral College, or the cost of actually buying a slave, or that couriers (ours was played by Rowland Hazard) were most often teen-age boys, or how Independence Hall looks in real life (the space is not all that big.). Every cast member had an interesting story to tell about their character, sometimes things alluded to in the play (like Abigail Adams' activism) and sometimes not (like the fact that Jefferson's wife, Martha, only lived a few more years).
Thank you to all that joined us for our production of 1776 and for this wonderful opportunity to meet our patrons!
