WOW!

Thanks to all of you who have come to DRIVING MISS DAISY so far and enjoyed the show so much that you have graced us with standing ovations each and every night.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, thanks to the audience and critical response, we've decided to extend the show a week, through September 30th. So you have plenty of time to see what The Maine Edge calls "a can't miss" and what the Bar Harbor Times "thoroughly recommends any day or night.

Tickets to all performances start at $15, and we have $10 student rush tickets available beginning an hour before each performance.

Come see us and Miss Daisy at the Opera House soon!

DAISY gets driven to Bangor


It's Opening Night!!!

Once again, the season is really in full swing and we're thrilled that DRIVING MISS DAISY has already proven to be a bona fide hit! If it's opening night, what do I mean by that?

Here at Penobscot Theatre, official opening night is not the first time we perform a play in front of an audience. We actually started on Tuesday, with our final dress rehearsal that we open up to limited audience members who pay what they wish at the door.

Wednesday and Thursday we perform preview performances, meaning that the director of the play (in this case, me) is still taking notes and working with the actors on moments in the play based on the how the audience reacts.

And now, it's set. We're ready to open! Tonight at 8. With a party in the lobby to follow.

It's an exciting time as the 33rd season of Penobscot Theatre really begins.

And don't forget, if you've seen Driving Miss Daisy we'd love your own personal review of it. Click the comment button below!
