Registration Open for Year 25 of Summer Drama Camp!

Arts and Entertainment

April 19, 2023

From: Center Theatre for the Performing Arts

Hello fans and friends of the Center Theatre,

Let’s start out with good news and then we’ll move on to even better news! We’ve been able to reschedule Buster Keaton’s Steamboat Bill, Jr. with live accompaniment by Doug Protsik! The event will now take place on Sunday, April 30th at 2pm. Tickets are on sale now, so don’t delay!

In new-event news we just added two concerts that are both ends of the musical spectrum. On May 13th at 7pm we have one of those wild things that happens now and then in our community. One of the hottest DJs in the Netherlands will be in the area and will be hosting an all-ages dance party at Central Hall. He goes by the name R3LOAD (think “Reload”) and you can check him out by searching @R3LOADMUSIC.

And if electronic dance music isn’t your thing, could I interest you in one of the best bluegrass bands in the state? Erica Brown and the Bluegrass Connection will be live at the Center Theatre on Friday, May 26th.

Of course, we’ve got great movies coming up too! And don’t forget we’re collecting food for the Dover-Foxcroft Area Food Center. We’re trying to fill all the seats in the auditorium by April 7th. You can drop off food or donations at the Theatre or make donations online by clicking right here.

And we’re still looking for people 18+ this summer to be one of our AmeriCorps Summer Vista Associates.

Thanks, as always, for your support.
