Snowlion Rep Starts Season with ANYTHING HELPS GOD BLESS

Anything Helps God Bless received an immensely successful, and for some, life-changing workshop last December with two sold-out performances. Audience response was so strong, with calls for the show to "go national," that Snowlion Rep will mount a full production of the show as the first offering of its upcoming season of plays that take place in Maine.

Anything Helps God Bless is a one-of-a-kind collaborative theater piece by writers Al D'Andrea and MK Wolfe, with contributions by the ensemble of actors, all of whom did research and conducted interviews of the major players in the 2012 to 2015 median strip controversy that made waves in the Portland political and cultural scene, which are still being felt today. The funny, touching, and ultimately life-affirming story is told in the words of the players themselves: mayors, city councilors, advocates, lawyers, police, neighborhood association heads, the press, the public, and of course, the panhandlers themselves.

Anything Helps God Bless will have 7 performances:

Friday September 29 at 7:30 pm

Saturday September 30 at 7:30 pm

Sunday October 1 at 2:00 pm

Thursday October 5 at 7:30 pm

Friday October 6 at 7:30 pm

Saturday October 7 at 7:30 pm

Sunday October 8 at 2:00 pm
