Anything Goes

What a perfect time to start the Penobscot Theatre blog! In about 10 minutes, our first rehearsal for ANYTHING GOES begins. This is our annual outdoor summer staged concert musical, which will be performed in Pickering Square on August 3rd and 4th. Show starts at 6 PM! You don't want to miss it!

We had so much fun doing CAROUSEL last year. The music of Rodgers and Hammerstein (and the whole show was set in Maine!) featured some wonderful professional actors who were backed up by our musical theatre campers. This summer, the best of Cole Porter will shine through in this classic musical, first written in the early 30's, revived in 1962 and again in 1987. In fact in doing the research for the show, we've discovered that every time ANYTHING GOES has been produced, the songs have changed, the book has changed, even character's names have changed.

I'll report more on the first rehearsal tomorrow and I hope you will continue to check our blog and leave your own comments about our work. Let's make this a forum of everything Penobscot Theatre and the rest of the arts in Bangor.

I'm thrilled that the fine folks at Sutherland Weston have used their efforts to help update our website and add this new feature. It seems to be a trend, this blogging. Who knows? Maybe we'll be able to create some theatre through the blog too!
