Pontine Presents SILVER LAKE SUMMERS, 1/2-5

By:

January 2-5, Pontine Theatre kicks off its Cafe-Lyceum Series with Silver Lake Summers: an e. e. cummings revue. The Cafe-Lyceum format features refreshments and conversation along with scenes from one of Pontine Theatre's popular original plays based on New England literature. Silver Lake Summers is based on the life and work of American poet and painter Edward Estlin Cummings, a lifelong summer resident of Silver Lake in Madiosn, New Hampshire. Poems and stories, personal correspondence, and family photos, combine to illustrate how the "New Hampshire experience" shaped the work of this seminal 20th century writer. Performances are Thursday and Friday at 7:30, Saturday at 4:00 and Sunday at 2:00. Tickets are $18 ($3 discount for seniors and students) and may be purchased at - www.pontine.org.

Tickets may also be purchased at the door a half-hour prior to each performance (cash & checks only) based on availability. Pontine's West End Studio Theatre is located at 959 Islington Street, Portsmouth, NH. The theatre is not visible from the street. Look for the big 959 on the signpost at the head of the drive. Pontine's Cafe-Lyceum Series continues February 6-9 with Pretty Halcon Days: On the Beach with Ogden Nash and concludes March 12-16 with Familiar Fields: Th Power of Community in the work of Sarah Orne Jewett.
