Unexpected events turn his number-one fan into his number-one enemy and a heart-pounding life or death game of cat and mouse ensues.

Portland and Los Angeles-based arranger/organist Jack Maeby, with support from theatrical director Carol Tanzman, reimagines The Messiah, Handel's masterpiece, as a secular gospel music oratorio from the lens of immigrants and refugees in crisis zones. By using the experiences and talents of local refugee students and adults, as well as musicians and singers conversant with gospel music, the program aims to present an inclusive vision of the immigrant/refugee journey that is also an enlightening and dynamic musical experience.

The Gospel Messiah is more relevant than ever, given the ever-increasing number of refugees seeking shelter worldwide. Enjoy an integrated performance created by the local artistic community, including musicians, singers, actors, and spoken word poet Moon Machar. The power of Handel's music in a dynamic gospel interpretation will create a riveting theatrical experience you won't soon forget!

The project will be produced and performed at The Hill Arts.

Mainers tend to take care of their own business, much to the chagrin of Gerard, the only cop on the island. When he finds evidence of foul play surrounding a recent death, things go hilariously amok and Gerard finds there's something sinister hiding behind the cozy vacation town he grew up in. Join us for this side-splitting comedy about murder and mayhem in Maine!
