Every night, when the doors swing open and the audience pours in, we are grateful for everyone who has come out to support the evening’s event, but we are especially grateful for our members. Their support early in the spring helps to make the season possible. Membership dues underwrite expenses ranging from artist fees to hospitality, staffing to cleaning, maintenance to advertising and so much more. Without the generosity of our members, our season would look quite different. Thank you in advance to all who are considering becoming a 2018 member of the Opera House.

As a small way of saying thank you to our members we extend early admission for best seat selection, reserved seating benefits, complimentary tickets and more depending upon the level of membership. Our membership appeal will be mailed in early March. If you do not receive our 2018 membership mailing and want to know more, please contact Kim in our Box Office. The box office is open Tuesday-Friday from 9 am – 3 pm and Kim can be reached at 207-633-5159.

Happy New Year! The very first event of the 2018 calendar year will be Open Mic, upstairs in the bar on Friday, January 19. Additional Open mics are scheduled for Friday, February 9 and Friday, March 9, so now is the time to put away your holiday decorations and pull out that tin whistle (?) and start preparing to take to the stage! Doors for Open Mics are at 6:30, with talent beginning at 7:00 pm. Music, poetry, dance in a very small space – what is it that you would like to share? We ask that if you are reading, please be sure that it is your own material and not that of other other authors.

In 2018 we welcome Kim Keller as our new box office manager. For many years Millie Santiago has cheerfully greeted the masses and she is handing her smile over to Kim. Please welcome Kim to the Opera House cast – stop in and say hello or call and buy a ticket to an upcoming show and know that Kim will be there to greet you. She will also be overseeing 2018 membership efforts. There is no reason to wait until the spring membership renewal mailing – if you want to renew today just let Kim know! The Box Office phone is 207-633-5159.

Our first mainstage show of the new year features the Boneheads and the Holy Mackerels, on Saturday, January 27 at 7 PM. Tickets on sale now.
