Rated PG-13

---

"Pre-pubescent girls in white dresses, stand with hair curled, and full faces of makeup. They hold
symbolically unopened little pink boxes as they proudly recite a purity vow, pledging their virginity to
their fathers. With this play, I’m interested in recreating the highly ritualized, performative Purity Ball as
the basis for examining the targeted policing of women’s bodies, sexuality and desires." -Lyndsey Bourne 

Saturday, August 31st, 7pm 
Soft Shell
Gabby Bryan and Dana Greenfield

Set against the backdrop of Bar Harbor, Soft Shell is a campy short film about a lobsterman and a literal lobster who fall in love; starring a colorful cast of local actors.

Annie Aspen's Musical Space Spectacular 
 Laura Galindo

Annie Aspen’s Musical Space Spectacular  follows  two  women,  played by  the same  woman, on their  journey to recovery. When the doctors  don’t listen when Mission Control starts to doubt, they seek solace somewhere  else. The band behind Laura becomes  an assortment of characters that help Annie and Laura get to the one place where they might get an answer—the surface of the moon. Swirling synths, futuristic funk, hypnotic melodies: a genre-bending act of musical theatre that worries less about how the music shares a plot point and more on how it connects the audience
to how Laura and Annie really feel.
​Rated PG
