Calendar of Events

Milford, CT (August 11, 2019) - On August 24th at 1pm, The MAC's Eastbound Theatre is proud to bring a FREE one-day outdoor community performance of “Our Town” by Thornton Wilder, celebrating its 25th year in the small city with a big heart - Milford CT. The reading will take place at various locations around Milford CT with 30 minute breaks in between each act so that participants can stroll from location to location past small shops and restaurants, grab a snack or drink, listen to music, and follow the “Chalk the Walk” symbols on the sidewalk along the way.
Featuring a cast of dignitaries and notable community members: Senator James Maroney; Mayor Ben Blake: Alderman Frank Smith; Milford Concert Band; Dan Brownell & the UCC Choir and more, this event is unique and exciting for all community members.
Participants will meet at the gazebo (bandstand) on the Broad Street Green at 1pm, however they are encouraged to come as early as noon with a picnic and lawn chairs to enjoy The Milford Concert Band prior to the event. The Milford Historical Society will also open its doors at 10am for its "Our Town, Our Story" art exhibit - treasures from the Moger photo collection, on display through October 6th.
Executive Producer Nancy A. Herman has arranged to have each act directed by a different Eastbound Theatre director. She will direct Act One on the green in front of the gazebo, Mike Shavel will direct Act Two on the veranda in front of the Parsons Building overlooking the waterfall, and Tom Rushen will direct Act Three behind the DAR next to the cemetery. Ann Baker is Associate Producer.
A post-performance reception will take place at Stonebridge Restaurant. RAINDATE IS AUGUST 25th.
Lorie Lewis, Marketing Director of the MAC, states, “This is a wonderful way to kick off our season and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Eastbound Theatre. Milford is a magical community, and this traveling reading of Our Town will remind all participants from Milford and beyond to be present, be joyful, and learn how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life...it’s the secret that Milfordites know very well.”
