Stage East presents Maine’s premiere production of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, the award-winning play by Nassim Soleimanpour, October 10-12.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit was first performed in 2011 and has since had over 1,000 performances worldwide. Unlike most plays, the actor does not see the show or read the script until it is handed over on stage. There are no rehearsals—just a brave performer and an audience who experience the play for the first time simultaneously. There will be three performances by Stage East, with a different performer each time.

“We would like to tell you what happens in this play but we can’t,” says director Sarah Dalton-Phillips. “Each performance will have a different solo actor reading the play for the first time. Written symbolically, it avoids overt politics.”

The playwright, Nassim Soleimanpour, wrote White Rabbit Red Rabbit to travel the world when he was unable to. Spread by email, blogging, and social media, this intriguing and innovative play has received critical acclaim worldwide and been performed by stars such as Cynthia Nixon, Nathan Lane, and Darren Criss.

The Belfast Maskers next production "One Blue Tarp" is a comedy by Maine playwright Travis G. Baker about life in a small town in the midcoast. What begins as a personal battle over one man’s yard quickly snowballs into a town-wide debate about tradition, pride, and who really gets to decide what belongs in Maine. The Maskers perform at Basil Burwell Community Theater, 17 Court Street, Belfast. October 3-12; Thursday, Friday, Saturdays at 7 pm, Sunday matinees at 2 pm. $10 preview on Thursday, October 2 at 7 pm. Tickets available on the website at www.belfastmaskers.com.

REALLY is a play about mourning, intimacy, and the conflict between goodness and greatness as seen through the lens of photography.

Everyman Repertory Theatre is excited to announce the Maine premiere of the Tony award-winning play 'EUREKA DAY' by Jonathan Spector!

Vaccine news has been rampant in recent weeks with cheers and jeers, and supporters and skeptics all crying fair game or foul. It's hard to make sense of it all but this play could not be more timely. Current headlines and news could almost be plucked from the pages of the script.

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus.

But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?

The show runs at the Camden Opera House October 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19. Cast includes company members Michael Amico, Jennifer Hodgson, and Paul Hodgson, and welcomes A.J. Baldwin (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Jaine Ye (Washington State/NYC). It will be directed by James Hoban, who directed ERT's 'The Father' in 2024. Tickets available now at camdenoperahouse.com.
