Follow Don, Cosmo, and Kathy as they navigate fame, romance, and the chaos of the film industry’s big transition from silent movies to sound.

Perfect for the whole family—don’t miss this joyful, toe-tapping performance by these talented young performers. Runtime is approximately two hours and 30 minutes, including a brief intermission.

"This year we were excited to add a dedicated musical theatre course. Students have been meeting twice a week since September, working on character development and vocals," said Gabrielle Hymes, Founder and Artistic Director of Camden Ballet Theatre, in a news release. "Our goal is to give students the full theater experience—from auditions and rehearsals to assisting with props, sets, and tech week. They are engaged in every step of the creative process." 

Addie Hamilton Heissler, Vocal Director and Greg Finch, Acting Coach joined the faculty this fall.

The Maine Performing Arts Company, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is committed to fostering youth involvement in the arts through scholarship opportunities and theatrical productions.
