Audition Announcement
Spring One-Act Plays

The Belfast Maskers are happy to announce open auditions for their annual One-Act Play Festival on Sunday, Feb. 23 from 2:00-4:00 and Monday, Feb. 24 from 6:00-8:00. Auditions will be held at The Basil Burwell Community Theater, 17 Court St., Belfast, ME. This year, four one-act plays by Maine playwrights will be performed: GLORIA ANDERSON by Kevin O’Leary – David turns up on Edward’s doorstep looking for someone he’s never met, and ends up confronting something much bigger from his past that either man is ready to own up to. O’HARE-GATE A4 by Eddie Adelman – During a raging blizzard at O’Hare International Airport, two former high school sweethearts meet by accident many years later and unexpectedly find renewed meaning together. THE STORE by Travis Baker – Artificial intelligence finally comes to town … and it’s potato intolerant. GREAT ESCAPES by David Susman – Mom bursts out of the assisted living and shows up on her son’s doorstep for help.

Auditions are for adults ages 30-80. If you are unable to attend auditions but are still interested, please email Greg Marsanskis gmarsanskis@gmail.com or Meg Nickerson maskermeg@gmail.com

Performances will be May 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 2020

Opens March 12!

Tickets are now on sale!

Shakespeare’s classic comedy will be performed in the Bard’s original language but set in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Directed by Erik Perkins, this first production of The Belfast Maskers 2020 season will have eight performances, opening Wednesday March 12.

It’s the Summer of Love, Billy Shakespeare style! Our hero, Rosalind, and a cool dude named Orlando she just met, are fed up with the establishment that screwed over their parents. When Rosalind’s uptight uncle plots her untimely demise, she decides she’s had it and hits the road with her best girl Celia, but she flips the script and dresses up like a dude… say hi to “Ganymede.”

Meanwhile, in the far-out Forest of Arden, the Duke Senior has gone back to the land with his groovy friends. When Orlando, Ganymede, and some clown named Touchstone all end up at his pad, it becomes a real happening.

Tune in, turn on, and check out As You Like It.

Buy tickets online now, or at Left Bank Books in Belfast! Ticket prices: $15 for adults and $12 for children/students age 18 and under. Opening night tickets are half price! General admission seating.

Dear Neighbors,

As we begin our 2020 season, please support the Belfast Maskers’ bold decision to purchase, repurpose and rehabilitate a beautiful historic building in Belfast’s vibrant downtown core.

The highly accessible facility is a new home for our thirty two years old (and going strong!) community theater. It is also a welcoming, cost effective space to gather, collaborate, build projects, and hold workshops, classes, readings, dances, and celebrations. It’s a place for seniors, for children of all ages, and for everyone in between.

Right now, these sessions are open to adults only. We hope to add sessions for young people in the near future. Donations are welcome, but not necessary.
