NDY IRVINE AT THE WALDO LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT

World-renowned Celtic music legend Andy Irvine performed at the Waldo Theatre Wednesday evening. Andy's profound skill as a musician, singer, and songwriter of Irish, Balkan, and pan-European music has resulted in almost two dozen albums and continues with this summer's tour of North America and Europe. The San Francisco Examiner says "His genius is playing his mandolin, mandola and bouzouki. I have never heard such clarity of sound, such perfect and precise rhythmic variations or such brilliant melodic figures from this family of instruments." Thanks to everyone who participated in this event!

ORLD PREMIERE OF LIGHTHOUSE: A DOWN EAST MUSICAL

This July, the Waldo Theatre will host the world premiere of John Chandler's new show, Lighthouse: A Down East Musical, a play rich with toe-tapping music and local flavor. Set in a tight-knit community on an island a mile off Maine's coast, the story revolves around a widowed lighthouse keeper and her daughter, and the uproar that ensues when a schooner runs aground on the island. Co-written by Robert Richardson, directed by Ruth Monsell, and musically directed by Sean Fleming, Lighthouse will have you smiling and humming long after the final curtain. With a cast of twenty (aged 13 to 70) and a five-piece orchestra, this musical will be a high point of this summer's mid-coast theatrical season. Tickets are available now.
