The Sunshine Boys by Neil Simon
Meetinghouse Theatre Lab presents: Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys
Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to re-unite her elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye.

Concert Series: Chris Ross
Chris Ross
Join Hancock native Chris Ross for an evening of songs and stories in lovely Hammond Hall.
Chris Ross has been writing and performing his songs on the coast of Maine for nearly 20 years. This venue provides a unique and intimate opportunity to hear them (and some of the stories behind them) as they were meant to be heard.
Ross has spent years tucked away on the coast of Maine developing his voice as a writer. Inside the arsenal of tracks he’s penned, one finds dangerous, hard-hitting reflections; stories of love, life and longing. Tinted with an appetite for self-destruction, his writing style is smooth and eloquent while remaining sincere to genuine grit of experience. A landscape of song much like Maine itself: humble yet dramatic, severe yet sweet, cold and resonant with a nearby fire throwing heat.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - Out of the Hat!
October through April, 2024-2025 - Out of the Hat! Readers’ Theatre Series
What’s "Out of the Hat!?” It’s a fresh, compact production with a rehearsal time of one day and performed that same night. The play, the director, the cast are all picked "out of the hat" so to speak -- this makes it fresh and exciting.
It goes like so ... we gather at 11:30am to read the chosen play -- many of us for the first time. After a first read, the director for the play retires to cast the show. Once done, the group works to put the play on its feet with the result being an outstanding and very fresh performance at 6pm.
Come to read and play at 11:30am or come to watch it that evening. Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
Interested in reading? We would love to have you! To read, you will need yourself, writing utensils, dark clothes, a potluck, energy and a penchant for fun.
Please message Meetinghouse Theatre Lab on Facebook or e-mail Cathy at cathyjohnson2012@hotmail.com if you would like to be a part of the day's production.
April’s Reading: Enjoy some short selections as we highlight and celebrate local playwrights

October through April, 2024-2025 - Out of the Hat! Readers’ Theatre Series
February’s Reading: A Rock Sails By by Sean Grennan
Astrophysicist Dr. Lynn Cummings has always believed in science over faith in the unknown. But now that her life is changing, the certainty that was once a source of comfort has become a source of emptiness. When an unidentified flying object is sighted heading toward Earth, she grants an interview to a journalist who misquotes her. With her credibility on the line, she invites him to witness the object as it comes closest to the Earth with her. Dr. Cummings hopes it will pass without incident, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - Auditions
MHTL is holding auditions Feb 1 by appointment for their May production of Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys, directed by Shari John. Message Shari Wick John on Facebook to schedule YOUR appointment!
Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to re-unite his elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - “Tuna Water” by William Nelson - A Staged Reading
Meetinghouse Theatre Lab will present a staged reading of “Tuna Water” by William Nelson of Belfast, Maine, winner of its 6th annual playwriting competition.
“Tuna Water” tells of the ailing cat that brings a spirited young runaway into the company of a jaded professor and a sympathetic divorcee. Together they explore and experience the meanings of friendship and love, freedom and responsibility. How much do we give? How much do we take?
Despite worlds-apart backgrounds, the three principals locate common interests and pursuits. Without hatred or harangue, “Tuna Water” takes on some of the big issues of our time.
“Every generation brings on confrontation and trade-off with its predecessor,” the playwright says. He especially enjoys plotting out dialogue between younger and older. “The age difference promotes a level of honesty and directness that is often missing in talk between adult peers,” he says. “That’s particularly true in a situation like this. The kid needs a roof. The professor can use a life.”
Borrowing figures from the classics, Nelson characterizes the play as “Puck drops in on Faust.”
At certain points in the play some coarse language is heard; parental discretion is advised.
There will be a talk-back and reception with the playwright immediately following the 6 PM reading.
Admission is free but donations gratefully accepted.
***a note to actors: unlike the regular Out of the Hat! workshops, this is a special event and will be pre-cast***

It goes like so ... we gather at noon to read the chosen play -- many of us for the first time. After a first read, the director for the play retires to cast the show. Once done, the group works to put the play on its feet with the result being an outstanding and very fresh performance at 6pm.
Come to read and play at noon or come to watch it that evening. Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
Interested in reading? We would love to have you! To read, you will need yourself, writing utensils, dark clothes, a potluck, energy and a penchant for fun.
Please message Meetinghouse Theatre Lab on Facebook or e-mail Cathy at cathyjohnson2012@hotmail.com if you would like to be a part of the day's production.
