BABE, THE SHEEP-PIG Promises A Rip Snorting Good Time

Penobscot Theatre Company's Dramatic Academy invites audiences to the barnyard for Babe, the Sheep-pig, the classic story of the politest pig in the pen and his unlikely rise to fame. Babe the pig proves his worth as a sheep herder with his trademark charm, narrowly avoiding becoming Farmer Hoggett's Christmas dinner. Performances will be May 11 at 5 pm, May 12 at 4 pm, and May 13 at 11 am at the Bangor Opera House.

"This story is a delightful ending to our season of after-school programming and our young thespians have really enjoyed hamming it up!" said Director of Education Amy Roeder.
