Penobscot Theatre Announces AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS Matinee, 5/31

Penobscot Theatre Company, the Northeastern most year round professional theatre in the country announces a special 2pm performance of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS on Friday, May 31st. This is the only weekday matinee available for the public.

PTC Artistic Director, Bari Newport says, "We are asked about weekday matinees all the time. I'm glad we were able to include one with 80 Days. Matinees are perfect for groups, so I hope to see lots of them!"

The pressure's on and time is running out! It's 1872 and the unflappable Phileas Fogg wagers that he can circle the globe and race from London, around the world, and back to London, in a mere 80 days! At Fogg's side: a band of quirky adventurers. At their heels: a relentless Scotland Yard detective! At stake: surviving utterly fantastic adventures across India, China, Japan and America - beating the clock - and winning the bet!

"We really want to pack the house with families," says Artistic Director, Bari Newport, "We want people of all ages to know they are welcome at PTC."

The five actors who embark on the extraordinary itinerary and global race against the clock, play 39 different characters. Dominick Varney (Annie), Arthur Morison (Last Gas), Brad LaBree (Becky's New Car) and Jenny Hart (Boeing-Boeing) support popular Atlanta based actor Robin Bloodworth, in his first PTC production.
