FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Kinky Boots is exactly the uplifting, celebratory story that we need to close out this revival season. This show has been making audiences happy all over the country, and it is finally our turn to bring it to the MidCoast region.

This is a special story – both direct and surprising. All of its theatrical elements join perfectly to bring joy and energy to each and every audience member. You will leave feeling better about the world we live in, and that is a great way to put an exclamation point on our 2022 Revival Season.

“When you change your mind, you can change the world” is a sentiment that speaks to all of us! Maine State Music Theatre is a vital part of the financial and artistic ecosystems in Maine, and Kinky Boots will bring joy long after our season has ended.

Fasten your seatbelts... Lola, Charlie, Lauren, and Company are taking over!

Curt Dale Clark Artistic Director

These boots were made for watching!

Enjoy the show!

MSMT ANGELS The MSMT Angels, a volunteer organization, carries out a wide variety of activities in support of Maine State Music Theatre. We are ecstatic to be back to do what we love.The MSMT annual staff has been hard at work to keep our wonderful theatre alive during the pandemic, and we are very grateful.

Throughout the trials of not having a 2020 season and the uncertainty of a 2021 season, they kept our hopes alive and did everything possible to create innovative and exciting shows this year. And now we are all excited for a full 2022 season.

MSMT Angels are an integral part of the ushering staff and have an active program to support the theatre’s cast and crew. Many of our members transport cast members and production staff to and from the airport, bus terminal, and train station. Others distribute posters and brochures for display in stores and restaurants throughout Brunswick and beyond. We organize welcome bags for the arriving cast and crew members. We also provide breakfast food for crews during changeover between shows.

Additionally, being an Angel has very special rewards: ushering on opening nights with a guaranteed seat, attending cast parties and, best of all, having a chance to get to know the cast and crew who enrich our lives and our community.

To learn more about the Angels and see a list of current Angels members, visit www.msmtangels.org or contact Edie Kilgour at 751-5217 or at msmtangels@gmail.com. You can also ask any usher who is wearing an Angels name tag. I look forward to welcoming new Angels!

Your friends at Bill Dodge Auto Group hope you

ENJOY THE SHOW! 2022 SEASON AUTOMOTIVE SPONSOR

www.billdodgeautogroup.com 20

FROM THE DIRECTOR I have been blessed and honored to collaborate with this remarkable company for 15 years. I have been humbled to stage over 20 productions, and I am thrilled to conclude this season with Kinky Boots. But this show is not just a chance to put on “another play”. This one is personal.

On March 13, 2020, I stood on a stage in front of a sold out audience at the Fulton Theatre and announced that we would be closing the current production of Kinky Boots due to a global pandemic. The show had been in performances barely over a week of a four-week run. I told that audience and our cast that we hoped to re-open the show later that spring.

The cast and orchestra went back to their homes, but the set and costumes remained in the theatre waiting to be used once again. A few months later we told the cast we hoped to bring the show back in the fall… and the set still awaited… then the world changed in ways that no one could imagine, especially for the arts. United States citizens were told that arts are considered “non essential” and all arts organizations fell silent for months.

Still, we kept the set, props, costumes, and ghost light waiting in the hopes that the Kinky Boots company would someday return to inspire audiences once again. It took 16 months for us to finally realize that we needed to move on and “pivot” and the set came down, the props got stored, and the cast sign-in sheet was taken down.

Slowly – very slowly – we all started to find our way through and fought to see the “artistic” light of day. Many brave and amazing politicians fought for the arts and found ways to support us so that we could begin to poke our heads out of the sand. Step-by-step we did little shows and events, and then, last summer, tried to really emerge. But the pandemic (and a new challenge, namely union rules that have been placed on our industry that are special and unique to the theatre) had other plans. For many, including MSMT, we fell silent again.

Even now, two and half years later, we are fighting to bring the arts back in an atmosphere of never knowing from one day to the next whether we will be allowed to present the show.

But we keep trying. And now… two and half years later, the sets are being rebuilt, the props and costumes are being restored, and a new group of story tellers will take up residency.

I, for one, am so very grateful to MSMT for allowing me the gift of bringing this show back to life.

There has been a lot of conversation about the old saying that “the show must go on.”

That’s the world of the theatre that I bought into. The show must go on because the arts must continue to engage our communities, to make them laugh and cry, to present the stories, like Kinky Boots, that encourage our audiences that “you change the world when you change your mind.” The shows must go on because arts matter. They are absolutely essential to our lives. And, as an artist, I am grateful to you, the audience and to MSMT for fighting through all the challenges to be here today.

ABOUT BOWDOIN COLLEGE Founded in 1794, Bowdoin enrolls approximately 2,000 students from across America and around the world who are admitted for their accomplishments and promise without regard for their financial circumstances. Among the nation’s most selective colleges, Bowdoin also enrolls a higher percentage of its admitted students than most of its peers.

This year the College received a record 9,446 applications for about 500 spots in the Class of 2026, a five-year increase of 30 percent. Nearly 50 percent of Bowdoin students receive need-based financial aid with loan-free packages. The average financial aid grant (funds that do not have to be repaid) is currently $54,530 a year. Ongoing work at the College is focused on considering the knowledge, skills, and creative disposition every Bowdoin student should possess upon graduation. These include a reaffirmation of the core and timeless aspects of a liberal arts education and bolstering the humanities. It also includes developing integrated thinking and interdisciplinary learning, ethical judgment and decision-making, and the capacity in Bowdoin students to engage in thoughtful, meaningful, and respectful discourse on tough issues. Bowdoin students learn from highly accomplished faculty in small classes and study in world-class facilities, including technologically advanced classrooms and laboratories, a state-of-the-art recital hall, two theaters and a center for art and dance, a celebrated art museum, and the new Roux Center for the Environment (2018) that is home to Bowdoin’s renowned interdisciplinary environmental studies program. In the spring of 2018, Bowdoin became one of a very small number of colleges and universities in America to declare carbon neutrality and recently announced an ambitious climate action plan to guide sustainability efforts at the College through 2042. In combination with the Roux Center, the recent expansion of the Schiller Coastal Studies Center (2020) on nearby Orr’s Island and the new John and Lile Gibbons Center for Arctic Studies (to be completed in early 2023) further enhance Bowdoin’s role as a leader in the teaching and study of the environment.

Notable Bowdoin Alumni Include: US President Franklin Pierce (1824)) Novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne (1825) Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1825) Abolitionist and editor John Brown Russwurm (1826) Civil War general Oliver Otis Howard (1852) Civil War general and Maine Governor Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1852) Arctic explorer Robert E.

The Living Legacy Circle was created to recognize those individuals who share our passion for musical theatre and are committed to securing MSMT’s future. If you have already arranged such a gift, please let us know so that we can welcome you as the newest member of The Living Legacy Circle.

There are many charitable giving options including naming MSMT as a beneficiary in your will, a living trust, a life insurance policy, or retirement plan. Your attorney or financial advisor can advise you on the options available.
