“Fryeburg Fair,” Fryeburg 

Sept. 29 – Oct. 1, Thursday – Saturday, 7:30pm, “Lip-Schtick,” a hilarious one man quick change show, in which the very talented David Scarbie Mitchell presents the life stories of two main characters; Scarbie, an aging showgirl with a personality disorder, and David, who tells his story of growing up in a loving and supportive family environment. David portrays seven characters, including Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin’s beloved creations, adding much comedy, song, and pathos to his poignant storytelling. Lip-Schtick is a fast paced musical with flawless technique and delivery, reminding us how we are all very basically the same at heart in our human experience, $20, $18/Seniors, The Footlights Theatre, 190 US Route 1, Falmouth. FMI: 207-747-5434, www.thefootlightsinfalmouth.com.
Sept. 30 – Oct. 2 and 5, Friday-Sunday, 7:30pm/Fri. and Sat, 5pm/Sun. and Wed, “Under Milk Wood,” “To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black…”: — and so the lyrically written, riotously funny and deeply moving portrait of the circle of a spring day in the small Welsh seaside village of Llareggub begins…with ghosts and dreams before dawn, the brilliance and noise of day, to the rain of dusk and the bawdy night! The play was first given a ‘try-out’ performance in 1953 in New York and promptly hailed as, “probably the richest and certainly the earthiest theatre experience of the season.” On January 25th 1954 the B.B.C. broadcast the play, complete and as it was intended – resonating with the Welsh ‘singing voice’. We pass along to you, our audience, the very same words Dylan Thomas gave to his actors in 1953, “Love the words,” $15, $11/seniors, $5/all tickets on Wednesday, Russell Hall, Gorham Campus, USM, 37 College Ave, Gorham.
