Pontine Theatre Presents CAP'N SIMEON'S STORE & OTHER STORIES

By:

Pontine Theatres co-directors, Greg Gathers & Marguerite Mathews, bring their unique approach to George Savary Wasson's early 20th C. stories based on the tales and lore of Kittery Point fishermen in CAP'N SIMEON'S STORE & OTHER STORIES.

Performances are Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 4pm and Sundays at 2pm from April 27th through May 13th. There is an addtional 8pm performance on Saturday 28 April. Tickets are $24 and may be purchased online at www.pontine.org. Tickets may also be purchased at the door, based on availability, a half-hour prior to each performance.

Pontine's West End Studio Theatre is located at 959 Islington Street, Portsmouth NH.

For over 30 years, Pontine Theatre has been an active particpant in the development of actor-based theatre, creating work that is engaging, innovative and original. Pontine's work is founded on the concept that the actor should function as a creative (rather than interpretive) artist, and that the name actor dictates action (movement) as a primary tool. Co-Artistic Directors, M. Marguerite Mathews and Gregory Gathers, have produced over 50 original works. Creating and performing these works, Pontine has introduced their unique form of theatre to audiences throughout New England, transforming audience interest in mime, puppetry, literature, and history into enthusiasm for this distinctive synthesis of forms.
