A STAGED READING FOR 'A NEW HOME'

On Friday, August 1, 2025, L/A Community Little Theatre welcomed an audience of interested guests to a staged reading of "A New Home" at the theater on Academy Street in Auburn. The 20-year-old musical has been updated to bring to life the stories of Lewiston's Indigenous, Franco-American, African, and other immigrant communities, whose contributions have shaped the city's identity and culture. 

Thank you to Russ Dillingham, the Sun Journal's Staff Photographer, for his work.
