Memorial Day weekend, the Next Generation Theater Company of Rhode Island will present Jules Feiffer’s Hold Me!
This is the third year that the company brings theatre from southern New England to mid-coast Maine and the venerable Waldo. Next Generation (formerly Young Actors Ensemble) brought Almost, Maine to the Waldo in 2010 and followed with The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later last year. This year the company, under its new name, returns to comedy with a hilarious look at relationships written by the iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, whose work has been syndicated all over the world.
While it is the goal of the company to include high school students in its casts, this show features only young adult performers, most of whom are either studying theatre at a number of Rhode Island colleges or hold degrees in theatre performance. The play is directed by Robert A. DiMartino, who studied under Broadway directors J. Ranelli and Will Rhyse.
Performances are May 26th at 7:30 PM and May 27th at 2 PM.
