Volume 11 No 8 | May/June 2022
THE SECRET PRINCESS soared in its premiere outing in Freeport this May. The Portland Press-Herald called The Secret Princess:

"...a fantastic and fun new musical comedy based on a Mark Twain story. “The Secret Princess” sets up a delightful tangle of motivations and identities in an unenlightened and decidedly bawdy medieval realm...(the) writers...have taken Twain’s story of a young woman forced to dress as a man to meet the ambitions of her mother and wrapped some Monty Python-esque craziness around many sly bits of wisdom. It’s all served up with a large helping of song and dance to provide a couple of highly entertaining hours at the Meetinghouse Arts performance space."
