Penobscot Theatre Company's Dramatic Academy invites audiences to the barnyard for Babe, the Sheep-pig, the classic story of the politest pig in the pen and his unlikely rise to fame. Babe the pig proves his worth as a sheep herder with his trademark charm, narrowly avoiding becoming Farmer Hoggett's Christmas dinner. Performances will be May 11 at 5 pm, May 12 at 4 pm, and May 13 at 11 am at the Bangor Opera House.

'Work In Progress,' set in sunny Los Angeles, is a six-part, half-hour comedy that follows a fictionalized version of Tay as she decides to quit her dead-end retail job and pursue a career as a 'Documentarian Sociologist.' In this first season, she seeks to answer the age-old question: 'why do we work?' Throughout the season, her character interviews a range of people such as farmers, strippers, musicians, scientists, painters, professors, and many others. 'Work In Progress' sneakily celebrates and roasts naïve millennials who are simultaneously better than, and unprepared, for the labor force they are freshly navigating. 'Work In Progress' is sure to be on everyone's weekly watch party list when it premieres Friday, April 27th, on Here TV - with her docuseries 'Inside The Rainbow' and 'Queer Family Tree' following later this year (also on Here TV).
