NMT Announces 2011 Summer Season
Northport Music Theater will present two shows in 2011 and will host an annual benefit event at the Camden Opera House titled A Day In The Life: A Beatles Experience, a multimedia celebration of the most recognized band of all time, the Beatles. This tribute band show is directed by Morgan Cates of Camden with vocal coaching by John Gelsinger. Dates are June 24 and 25 at 7:30 pm at the historic downtown Camden Opera House, located on Main Street. Tickets are $18 general admission and $14 day of show.
The Bikinis, by Ray Roderick and James Hindman, will run for two weekends in late July opening on July 22. It's the summer of 1964, and four inseparable friends form a girl group, win a talent contest, and make it to the top! Now, many years - and a few pounds later - "The Bikinis" reunite for a dazzling show of summer hits like ‘Heat Wave’, ‘It’s In His Kiss’, and 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'. Director is Peter Clain and Music Direction is by John Gelsinger.
NMT’s late season show is Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class by Dan Goggin and will open on September 23 for a two weekend run. This musical show is a new version of the wildly popular Nunsense musicals and brings the spunky and feisty Sister Robert Anne to the NMT stage. She’ll occupy the spotlight as she performs a one-woman Nunsense song feast with her amazing vocal talent, humor, and show stopping energy. Direction is by Tobin Malone and Music Direction is by John Gelsinger.
Tickets for The Bikinis and for Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class are evenings $25, matinees $20 and day of show $14. The theater seats 128 people, has general admission seating only, and is handicapped accessible.
Summer Camp shows are Into the Woods Junior on July 15, 16, 17, Bugsy Malone Junior on August 13, and Fairy Tale Dreams on August 20.
The theater is applying for Maine charitable organization status in 2011 and will produce a benefit show each year to support NMT’s musicals and summer camps programming. Tickets for the benefit show and opportunities for support are available now and registration for attendance at summer camps is still open. Tickets for The Bikinis and Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class go on sale May 15th.
