WALDOBORO — Filmmaker, writer, actor, and artist John Waters returns to The Waldo with an all-new show, The Naked Truth. Night one, Saturday, June 21, is sold out, leading the Waldo to add an additional night, Friday, June 20, at 8 p.m.

Known for his trash epics including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, Serial Mom, Cry Baby, Hairspray, and coming soon to the big screen, the film adaptation of his twisted first novel, Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance. The recipient of numerous honors and accolades, most recently the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opened John Waters: Pope of Trash, the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his contributions to cinema. He was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and American Cinema Editors selected Waters to receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award in 2024.

Waters will be hosting a limited capacity “Group Therapy” session after the show - an intimate, post-show Q&A. There are only 50 tickets available for “Group Therapy” and they are for an additional $50 per person (you must purchase a ticket to see the show as well). Photographs will be permitted at this post-show VIP event only. Adult tickets are available in advance online for $65 the day of the show.

If this show is not sold out, tickets are available at the box office starting at 7 p.m., when doors open.

Concessions and Hello Hello Books will be selling signed copies of John Waters’ books.
