NMT Announces 2012 Summer Season
Northport Music Theater, located on Route 1 in Northport, will present summer shows, an annual benefit show at the Camden Opera House, and three summer day camps for area students in 2012. In early August, Make Mine Metamucil, by Dave Silverbrand, will be presented by an all volunteer cast of nine under the direction of Peter Clain. This two-act, 90 minute play with music is about a retired lady dreaming of celebrity in Seaview, a quaint seaside community. To fulfill her fantasy, she decides to write a play. But the national contest in which she decides to enter it is a scam! The production will be open to any all who would like to try for a part in the show. Open auditions will be held in May.
Music theater summer camp dates and shows are Fame the Musical, directed by Emily Widdoes for ages 14-18 from July 3-13 with performances on July 13, 14, 15, The Attack of the Killer Grasshoppers, directed by Mary Cuskelly for ages 10-13 during the week of August 6-10, with 2 performances on August 11, and The Jungle Books KIDS, directed by Kathleen Christie during the week of August 13-17 with one performance on August 18. Registration for attendance at summer camps is now open.
In early December, A Christmas Survival Guide will be presented at the Camden Opera House. The show was conceived and written by James Hindman and Ray Roderick with musical arrangements by John Glaudini. The show stars Midcoast area favorites Annie Watson, Kathleen Christie, John Gelsinger, Dagney Ernest, and David Troup with direction by Tobin Malone and is a hilarious musical revue that takes a wry and knowing look at a the stressful Christmas season.
Founded by John and Ruth Gelsinger in 2005 and opened in 2007. The theater has applied for charitable organization status in December of 2011 and is awaiting approval in 2012.
