YOUR PROGRAM IS YOUR TICKET – Broadway World Interview Podcast

YOUR PROGRAM IS YOUR TICKET Podcast Welcomes Marblehead Little Theatre’s Julie Menard and Emily Black

by BWW News Desk Mar. 8, 2021      

“Your Program Is Your Ticket” is a podcast focusing on smaller, more intimate theater works and the people that make them happen. It is important to highlight these works and integral to the podcast’s mission to feature as many of these productions as possible while still discussing the larger more notorious productions. The “Act II…Places” series emphasizes the reaction and forward planning of various theater entities during the COVID-19 crisis. The podcast is hosted and produced by Sean W Chandler.

Episode 92 is available to listen to below!

Construction Update

Re-pointing the antique brick firehouse building has been completed.

Thanks to the successful Charles Gessner Firehouse Improvement Fund drive and the matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, MLT engaged Justin Epstein Masonry to repair and re-point the brickwork of the 130 year old School Street Firehouse Theatre.

The timing of the project works out well since we are unable to stage live performance at this time due to the pandemic.

The following pictures will illustrate the re-pointing needed and some of the things needed to assist the process.

Love Scotland 2, Reprise

On February 9, 2019 the cast of Love, Scotland 2 returned with a brand new edition of their sell-out Valentine’s weekend show which debuted in 2018. Again, the two-night run sold out.

Now they invite MLT friends and their friends to reprise the experience with hitherto unreleased video of the Saturday night performance as it happened.

The video will be presented on YouTube and HERE (below) beginning on February 9, 2021. The show features music from the contemporary Scottish songbook and some cutting edge Celtic instrumentals, as well as several of the greatest traditional melodies of the country collected and set to brilliantly memorable words by Scotland’s national bard Robert Burns. And along the way, poems and stories of growing up in Scotland.

The company are; operatic soprano Julianne Gearhart, in-demand keyboardist and Cape Breton step dancer Neil Pearlman, guitar-fiddle-bagpipes-penny whistle playing star of the Afro-Celtic punk band Soulsha Elias Alexander, and former BBC radio presenter and Marblehead resident Rhod Sharp.

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day, a speedy and safe return to live theatre at MLT, and roll on, Love, Scotland 4!
