Share
Penobscot Theatre Company has commissioned Atlanta-based, French-speaking theatre company Théâtre du Rêve (Theatre of the Dream) to create an original work inspired by Maine poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem “Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie.” The piece, “Je Ne Suis Pas Evangeline (I am not Evangeline),” will be the final offering of the Digitus Theatrum Main Course subscription series available to stream from Thursday, April 22, through Sunday, May 9.
“I fell head over heels in love with Maine more than a decade ago, when I toured with a French-language play to Portland,” says Théâtre du Rêve Producing Artistic Director Caryoln Cook. “I love the place, I love the people, I love the sense of rootedness, and I love the history. I’m thrilled to be working with Penobscot Theatre Company on this dream project.”
