You Win Some, You Lose Some: MSMT's Quest to Obtain Musical Theatre Rights
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - November 08, 2017
You win some, you lose some; you have to roll with the punches! Maine State Music Theatre's Artistic Director Curt Dale Clark says with a broad smile. He is talking about the process of acquiring the theatrical rights to produce the shows he does each year a process which is the inevitable and crucial departure point for any theatrical season. And yet, despite Clark's seemingly sanguine attitude toward these negotiations, the reality is that crafting the sensational seasons he has each year for the company is anything but a game of chance. It is the product of planning, strategy, hard work, and the increasing respect in which MSMT is held by the industry.

University of Southern Maine School of Music presents OF THEE I SING
by BWW News Desk - October 25, 2017
This all-American political satire focuses on the election campaign and Presidency of John P. Wintergreen, whose party, lacking a viable platform, runs on love. With politicians skewered right and left, Of Thee I Sing is an hilarious and timeless send-up of national institutions that is as relevant as ever, (It even features its own impeachment proceedings!). In 1932, this show was the first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama! Of Thee I Sing first appeared on Broadway at The Music Box Theater, directed by George S. Kaufman. We are presenting this as a semi-staged concert version featuring a 10-piece orchestra led by Music Director Kellie Moody. Co-Sponsored by Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution and Richard & Edna Krull.
