Penobscot Theatre Company Extends RING OF FIRE

The Man in Black is proving a powerful draw for Penobscot Theatre Company, warranting a one-week extension of the popular show, created by Richard Maltby, Jr. and conceived by William Meade. Originally scheduled to close September 27,Ring of Fire, The Music of Johnny Cash is now slated to run through October 4, offering patrons five more opportunities to see the theatre's acclaimed season-opener.

"The popularity of this production is a tribute not only to Cash's legendary crossover appeal but to the exceptional talent of the five performers in our cast," said Producing Artistic Director Bari Newport, with reference to Andrew Crowe, Ira Kramer, Ashley Marie Lewis, Gaylen Smith, and Jeremy Sevelovitz. "We're thrilled to have assembled such gifted artists and delighted to offer more opportunities to see them in action."
