News from SNOWLION REP'S
FIRST EVER FUNDRAISER!
On Friday December 7, Snowlion Rep hosted a benefit to raise funds for the upcoming season, which will include the new musical
Mesmerized
!
Portland Ballet Studio Theater was festively decorated with food and drink, artwork from prominent New England artists (for the silent auction), and beautiful people!
Theater luminaries and other VIPs from the community attended in force!
Friends of Snowlion Rep and loyal audience members came to show their support, including Number One Fan (and dedicated supporter) Jane Burdick, who has seen every production!
Snowlion Rep actors made a show of force!
Everyone had a great time!
The Portland Press Herald published an enormous, front page, above-the-fold article about the benefit, the play that was presented (
My Witch: The Margaret Hamilton Stories), and also about Hamilton Meserve, Margaret's son, who lives today on Southport Island in Maine!
Best of all, Hamilton himself and his wife Helen came to the show and enjoyed it tremendously!
The whole thing was a huge success. Thank you, John Ahlin (playwright) and Jean Tafler (actress) for providing the amazing and heartfelt performance of
My Witch: The Margaret Hamilton Stories, all about the world's most famous witch and her life in Hollywood and Maine!
And THANK YOU to all who attended, who laughed and partied and bid and donated and showed the love for live theater that makes this the best theater town in the world!
