OY, WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT LOVE
An Award-Winning Comedy by Steve Budd
OCTOBER 9-25
A laugh-out-loud look at love, dating, and all the craziness in between. It’s theater at its funniest—and most honest. One lovably confused mensch is on a quest to find his bashert… but somehow keeps looking in all the wrong places. While everyone else is getting hitched, he’s stuck wondering, “Why not me?” Oy vey! So, he does what any desperate romantic would do—he starts interrogating happy couples to uncover their secrets. The result? A heartwarming, sidesplitting, and slightly nosy deep dive into what makes love tick (and what keeps it from blowing up). Real love stories. Real laughs. And maybe—just maybe—a real shot at “the one.”

MRS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
By Linda Britt
NOVEMBER 13-22
A bold and timely play starring Jackie Oliveri as Margaret Chase Smith—Maine’s trailblazing congresswoman and senator who stood tall in a time of political fear and silence. The first woman elected to both the U.S. House and Senate, Smith was a proud Republican, a Skowhegan native, and a centrist who believed in consensus over chaos. She made history: the first senator to speak out against Joe McCarthy, the first woman on Face the Nation, and the first woman nominated for president at a major party convention. From filling her late husband’s House seat in 1940 to serving in the Senate until 1973, Smith’s career was marked by integrity, courage, and Maine grit. This tour-de-force celebrates a political pioneer who brought out the best in people… and in politics.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER-ISH
A Spirited Comedy by Michael J. Tobin
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 7
When the quiet and practical Alice moves into an old Maine house with her husband Charles, she expects peace and a fresh start. What she doesn’t expect is a message scrawled on the wall—from Daisy Devine, a dazzling, long-lost starlet who died before she could make it big in Hollywood. Now back from beyond, Daisy’s determined to reclaim the spotlight… by taking over Alice’s life. Suddenly, the once-reserved Alice is bold, flirtatious, and dead-set on fame, leaving Charles—and everyone else—wondering what happened to the woman he married. Full of laughs, heart, and unexpected twists, this delightfully witty play (based on Marion’s Wall by Jack Finney) proves it’s never too late to chase your dreams… even if you’re a ghost.

WE DREW THE SKY
By Charlie Marenghi 
MARCH 26-APRIL11
Based on the courageous true story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, an artist who risked everything to teach children trapped in the Terezin concentration camp. Sent with only one suitcase, Friedl defied orders—packing charcoal and paper instead of clothes, determined to bring hope through art. Though she could have escaped, she stayed, refusing to abandon the children. Of 15,000 imprisoned children, only a hundred survived; Friedl was among those who perished in Auschwitz. Before she was taken, she hid 5,000 drawings—silent witnesses to resilience and hope amid unimaginable darkness.
