June 1-3, Friday-Sunday, 7:30pm/Fri. and Sat, 2pm/Sun, “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” Jerry Walker grew up in Standish Maine, where there was little encouragement to become a published playwright and theater director. But that did not deter Jerry from achieving those goals. Today, his is a well-known face among local theater circles and he has become a highly respected playwright and director throughout Maine. The play is about teens and how each action or word spoken by anyone has either a positive or negative effect on someone else, even oneself. We come to find that no word or deed is harmless or without consequence. Adults and youth alike will see themselves in the halls of this imaginary school, in the lives of its students, and in their hopes and the shattered dreams. Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a memorable and timeless play which is more relevant than ever in our current age of bullying, school gun violence, and increasing teen depression, $14, $12/seniors and students, Schoolhouse Arts Center, 16 Richville Rd, Standish. FMI: 207-842-3743, schoolhousearts.org.
