Maine State Music Theatre Brings Two Shows To Fryeburg Academy

With help from a grant graciously provided by The Robert and Dorothy Goldberg Foundation, Maine State Music Theatre will bring two shows ("Cinderella" and "I Love a Piano") to Fryeburg Academy. Both shows are scheduled to perform on Saturday, June 9 at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center.

"Cinderella", part of MSMT's Theatre for Young Audiences series, is at 2:00 PM. Irving Berlin's "I Love a Piano" is at 7:30 PM with an optional champagne reception at 6:30 PM.

Based on a story by Charles Perrault, the Robin and Clark musical version of Cinderella tells the tale of orphaned and lonely Cinderella. Through whimsical music and audience participation, children of all ages are invited to join in the fun as Cinderella learns that beauty is an inner quality and dreams really do come true.

I Love a Piano follows the journey of a piano as it moves in and out of American lives from the turn of the century to the present. Along the way, the story comes to vibrant life with over sixty of Irving Berlin's most beloved songs, including the classics "Blue Skies," "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Cheek to Cheek," "Anything You Can Do," and, of course, "I Love a Piano."

Tickets for Cinderella are $15. Tickets for I Love a Piano are $35. (Premium tickets for I Love a Piano include a champagne reception at 6:30 and cost $55.) Tickets are available online at http://www.fryeburgacademy.org/pac or by calling 207-935-9232. The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center is located at 18 Bradley Street in Fryeburg, Maine.
