Give the Wonder of Theatre
|
With only a few days to go before Christmas, you can avoid the last minute rush in the shops and ban the thoughts of snagging a “Prime” gift by giving those left on your list the experience of theatre with Portland Playhouse.
Purchase single tickets to any of our four shows this season or a
2- or 3-show season ticket package for the people you care about most and give them an experience to remember beyond the holiday season.

January 17 - 28
A Workshop Production at the Hampton Opera Center
Created and performed by Nikki Weaver
Directed by Gretchen Corbett
In October 2015, Nikki Weaver sent a letter to 60 women - some she knew and some she didn’t - requesting a piece of fabric and an explanation of its sentimental value. The result is Weaving Women Together, an entirely female-driven piece about the loss of Weaver’s mother and how she has collected her in other women, and a magic skirt made entirely of the tales - and fabric - shared by these women.

February 28 - March 25
Book, Music & Lyrics by Michelle Horgen
Directed by Brian Weaver
Our first production back in the newly renovated Playhouse!
FUNNY, SWEET, and HEROIC; a new musical based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter featuring Portland favorites:
Susannah Mars, Isaac Lamb, Darius Pierce, Dana Green, Rebecca Teran and many more.
May 2 - June 10
By August Wilson
Directed by Lou Bellamy
