Drop-in policy: The Bar Harbor Town Band enjoys having visitors join our ranks for a couple of concerts while you are visiting Mount Desert Island. Please understand that we cannot make our music available to you in advance and it therefore requires strong sight-reading skills to participate. Finally, visitors may join us space permitting only. We won’t know until the night of the concert if we’ll have space. If we cannot fit you into our bandstand, we’ll politely ask you to sit that concert out. Historically we’ve always been able to accommodate visitors but you should know we cannot guarantee a space.

Maine Public is pleased to be a media sponsor of Maine State Music Theatre’s production of Tootsie.

Tootsie is a hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy about actor Michael Dorsey, who disguises himself as a woman, Dorothy Michaels, to land a role in a Broadway show.

Based on the iconic Dustin Hoffman film of the same name, Tootsie explores themes of identity, gender roles, and the challenges of navigating personal and professional life. The show delivers laughter and insight. As Michael’s new persona takes on a life of her own, he learns valuable lessons about honesty, love, and self-acceptance.

Maine State Music Theatre’s Tootsie will be performed at the Pickard Theater in Brunswick from June 25th through July 12th.
