Get ready to laugh and tap your toes! Watts Hall Community Players proudly present The Drowsy Chaperone, a Tony Award-winning musical comedy that brings the golden age of Broadway to life in a delightful, madcap romp that’s perfect for the whole family.

Featuring a cast of local performers of all ages, The Drowsy Chaperone opens with the endearing "Man in the Chair," who puts on his favorite 1928 cast album—and suddenly, the musical springs to life in his living room. What follows is a hilarious whirlwind of mistaken identities, sabotage, gangsters perfecting their pastry puns, and a Latin lothario.

Watts Hall Community Players continues its tradition of family-friendly, multi-generational productions that welcome everyone—on stage and off. Come be part of the fun and celebrate the joy of live community theater!

One of Yankee Magazine's top five cemetery tours in New England! Walk Portland's Old Burying Ground with a trained guide. Hallowed? Not officially. Historic? Absolutely. Haunted? You decide. Visit the cemetery's unique field of underground tombs, the oldest gravemarker from 1717, the final resting place of the famed Captains of the 1813 battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise, and the interesting carvings of Portland's first stone-cutter, Bartlett Adams. Tours include early gravestone art, important local historic figures, Portland's historic events, and the landscape of this National Historic Landmark, including segregated sections for Black people, Catholics, Quakers, and strangers. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the ground is uneven once we leave the main pathway. Tours are held unless the weather is stormy.
