IN THE WINGS ARTS-IN-EDUCATION According to the American Association of Community Theatre. "Community theatres involve more participants, present more performances of more productions and play to more people than any performing art in the country. We are critical to the cultural life of the communities of which we are a part."

The IN THE WINGS Arts-In-Education Program serves as the primary and frontline contact in the Civic Theatre^. mission of outreach and education. Working through schools and soifl Eunice Wadewitz service agencies to especially target the underserved population, it strives Music & Education to introduce the theater arts to youth, their families and adults through free Director ticket performances with post-show talk backs, study guides, outreach workshops, internships, and Civic Theatre tours. Since its inception in 1988 IN TH F WINGS has offered over 145,000 theatrical opportunities and touched many lives in positive ways.

007-2008 The Lark is a highly theatrical retelling of the life of Joan of Arc. The Lark presents two viewpoints on the familiar story.

The script for this production of Misery was adapted by Simon Moore and based on the 1987 Stephen King novel. Stephen King is called the "Master of Horror." His books have been translated into 33 different languages and published in over 35 different countries. There are over 300 million copies of his novels in publication.

Stephen Edwin King was born on September 21, 1947 at Maine General Hospital in Portland Maine. His parents were Donald win King and Ruth Pillsbury King. Stephen was the only natural born child in the family and his older brother David had been adopted at birth two years earlier. The Kings were the typical family until one night when Donald King said he was stepping out for cigarettes and was never heard from again. c At this point Ruth took over raising the family with help from other relatives. Parts of Stephen's childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. They traveled throughout many states over several years finally moving back to Durham, Maine in 1958.

Stephen had a long list of childhood fears, as stated on the bio.com website, which included spiders, closed in spaces, sewers, funerals, the number 13, the dark, and especially the very thin line between good and evil.

His novel Misery was made into a movie in 1990, was directed by Rob Reiner, and starred James Caan as Paul Sheldon and Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes. Ms. Bates won the Oscar for the Best Actress in a Leading Role.

In June 1999 Stephen King experienced a slightly similar fate as his character from Misery, Paul Sheldon the romance novelist. He was severely injured in - an accident when a motorist struck him as he was jogging along the side of thefl road. It left him in critical condition with injuries to his lung, broken ribs, a broken leg and a severely fractured hip. After three weeks of operations he was released from the Central Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. Stephen was bedridden and required intensive rehabilitation over the remainder of that year.

In directing Misery it was important to make the fear, the threat of Annie's retaliation, very real in order to make the situation plausible and not have it come off comical. The good and evil aspects of Annie clearly exemplify Stephen King's childhood fear - the fine line between good and evil. -Phillip H. Colglazier, Executive Director o CAST
