Portland Stage to Present MADELEINES By Maine Playwright Bess Welden
Performances will run from March 5-March 23, 2025.
Portland Stage Company will present MADELEINES by Maine writer Bess Welden. Some family secrets are hard to swallow! Here is a play from a Maine writer, a new play that is already a multi-award winner and sure to win many more.
Part of Portland Stage's ongoing commitment to Maine-made theater and producing new work, this heartfelt play by Bess Welden tells the story of Debra and Jennifer, two sisters processing the death of their mother, a professional baker.
When a secret hidden among their mother's recipes is discovered, the siblings fracture, and their understanding of family is put to the test. A play about sweets, familial rivalry, and learning to let go, Welden's work asks us to examine how, and what, we forgive.
