Imagine His Girl Friday meets The Carol Burnett Show and you've got SCREWBALL COMEDY, a fast-paced, hilarious nod to the Hollywood comedies of the '30s and '40s playing at The Public Theatre, Lewiston/Auburn's professional theatre, April 29 – May 8th. Filled with zany characters and snappy banter reminiscent of the movies of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, this delightful comedy will keep you laughing from start to finish.

The Public Theatre’s latest offering is a poignant, quirky romantic comedy that becomes a heartwarming pas de deux between its injured dancer heroine and a geoscientist with Asperger’s Syndrome, who enlists her help not only in learning to dance, but also in exploring, what for him, is the uncharted territory of human friendship and intimacy. Mark St. Germain’s 2014 two-character, seventy-five minute play dances with an ironic humor, fast repartee, unexpected revelations that evolve from the relationship of this mismatched pair, and an ending that is hopeful in its transformative inner reality.

The Public Theatre begins the second half of its exciting season with Dancing Lessons, a delightfully unpredictable romantic comedy playing live at the theatre March 11 – 20, or by video on demand March 15-20th

The Public Theatre’s production of Dan Clancy’s MIDDLETOWN proves a clever way to maneuver the company back into production after the pandemic pause. The four-character comedy-drama, designed to be performed without scenery or costumes by actors who read from scripts at podiums, requires a minimalist production and asks the audience to concentrate only on the characters’ journey from kindergarten to old age. That story, as directed by Janet Mitchko, is sweetly funny and warmly heartfelt.

After being closed due to COVID-19 for over 18 months, The Public Theatre reopens its doors with the uplifting and heartfelt new play Middletown, playing Oct 15 - 24.
