'The Fabulous Lipitones' Make Joyful Music at Penobscot Theatre

Penobscot Theatre Company announces its 44th Season, a fresh array of plays of musicals to be staged at the company's historic home, the Bangor Opera House.

With only days before the first preview performance of Part of the Plan (followed by a gala opening night on Sunday, September 10), the new musical drawing its score and inspiration from the catalog of troubadour Dan Fogelberg, the widely respected singer/songwriter who spent much of his early career in Nashville, attention should be paid to the motivating factors that led the producers to debut their show in Music City - with a look at the show's roots that are firmly planted in Tennessee.

Lionhawk Records is very pleased to announce that Mercury & Lightning, the new release from platinum-selling songwriter John Mark McMillan is now available globally. Just hours after being released the record has already reached #1 on iTunes singer/songwriter and #4 on overall iTunes album chart!

A scramble ensues to find a suitable replacement, and the best candidate takes everyone by surprise. The production runs from September 7-24, beginning with two discounted previews on September 7-8. All performances will take place at the newly refurbished Bangor Opera House, 131 Main Street, Bangor.
