    Issue No. 156 Single Copy $3.50 June, 2017 CAST & CREW “The Source For Theater Happenings” PortFringe Festival 2017 by Muriel Kenderdine You’re invited to check out Maine’s own Fringe Festival, PortFringe, Mad Horse Theatre Company at Geno’s Rock Club June 17 at 4:30, June 22 at 11:30 pm eight days and 125 performances at various venues from June 17 through 24. This is the sixth annual celebration of performing arts in Portland since it was founded in 2012 and continues to be run entirely by volunteers. Last year’s PortFringe generated $30,000 in ticket sales, all funneled directly back to the artists. For new subscribers and anyone who needs a quick reminder on what is Fringe, it started in Edinburgh, Scotland, when theater people decided to have an alternative festival playing concurrently with the Edinburgh International Festival. The next year a local newspaperman gave it a name: “Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before…” From there it has spread around the world, and now the USA hosts more Fringe Festivals than any other country. And Portland’s has been a successful one, growing and expanding each year. Founding PortFringe committee member Mariah Bergeron says, “The festival showcases an enormous number of local and national performances, hidden in rock clubs, tiny stages, and historic buildings. Plus, all the proceeds go back to the artists, which is relatively unheard HOW DARE YOU SIR: A GENTLEMEN’S PANEL ON ROCK: Mad Horse of.

The Shaw Festival’s mandate also includes: • Uncovered Gems – digging up undiscovered theatrical treasures, or plays which were considered major works when they were written but which have since been unjustly neglected • American Classics – we continue to celebrate the best of American theatre • Musicals – rarely-performed musical treats from the period of our mandate are re- discovered and returned to the stage WHAT MAKES • Canadian Work – to allow us to hear and promote our own stories, our own points SHAW SPECIAL of view about the mandate period. MEET THE COMPANY — OUR ENSEMBLE • Our Actors: All Shaw performers contribute to the sense of ensemble, much like the players in an orchestra. Often, smaller parts are played by actors who are leading performers in their own right, but in our “orchestra,” they support the central action helping to create a density of experiences that are both subtle and informative. • Our Designers: Every production that graces the Shaw Festival stages is built “from scratch,” from an original design.

  • 'Hamlet' with Benedict Cumberbatch and 'The Audience' with Helen
    MEDIA ALERT – April 8, 2019 ‘Hamlet’ with Benedict Cumberbatch and ‘The Audience’ with Helen Mirren Return to U.S. Cinemas this Summer for One-Night Screenings In Celebration of National Theatre Live’s 10th Anniversary • WHAT: BY Experience and Fathom Events commemorate the 10th anniversary of National Theatre Live program, with the exclusive cinema re-release of two audience- and critic-favorite NT Live productions, “The Audience” and “Hamlet,” both captured live from the London stage. The Audience - Monday, June 3, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. local time Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren (The Queen), plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Tony Award®-winning production of The Audience, captured live from London’s West End in 2013. For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II has met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. No one knows what they discuss, not even their spouses. From the old warrior Winston Churchill, to Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher and finally David Cameron, the Queen advises her prime ministers on all matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. Featuring post-screening talk-back with Helen Mirren and director Stephen Daldry.
