Susan Minot’s “On Island”

May 8+9 @ 7:00pm

@ Opera House Arts

On Island is a joint production between Opera House Arts and the Reach Performing Arts Center. The play is directed by John Lincoln and performed on the Opera House stage on Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9 at 7pm.

Written by acclaimed novelist and screenwriter, Susan Minot, On Island is set on a beautiful summer day on an island in Maine. It is a celebration of the uniqueness of island living–it’s a story about a working boat yard, summer picnics, families, friends, loves lost and love found.

On Island debuted during the summer of 2018 at Waterman’s Community Center on North Haven Island. Minot had been engaged to write the play thanks to a grant Waterman’s received from the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation. This Opera House production is supported, in part, by a grant from Waterman’s Community Center thanks to additional funding they received from the Toulmin Foundation to support On Island being produced in additional theaters.

Tickets are offered as Pay What You Can, allowing patrons to pay any price for their ticket.
