SHAMELESS Premiers at Mad Horse Theatre 5/9
Mad Horse Theatre presents, as part of its 25th Anniversary season, the world premiere of Shameless! The Musical, opening May 9th and running through May 18th. Performances are May 9-11 and 16-18 at 7:30 pm at Lucid Stage, 29 Baxter Boulevard in Portland. All shows will be pay-what-you-can.
Shameless! was written by Portland writer and musician Jason Wilkins, whose last musical (Naked In Portland) enjoyed a successful run at the PSC Studio Theater. Shameless! is directed by Mad Horse Theatre Associate Artistic Director Peter Brown.
The show features a cast of six, including Cathy Counts (Good Theater), Michael Tobin (Old Port Playhouse), Jonathan Carr (Lyric Theater), Benjamin Row (Legacy Theater), Bartley Mullin (Seacoast Repertory Theater) and Megan Jackson (USM Theater Department). Shane Van Vliet (Portland Stage Company) is the music director.
Shameless! is the story of what happens when gay rights and the religious right collide within the confines of a single family. It combines wild comedy, heartbreaking drama, and catchy folky pop tunes; it blends real heart, real family values, and (possibly) a bit of controversy.
Ticketing information can be found on the web at www.lucidstage.com or by calling 899-3993.
